Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has experienced the most turbulent season of his career, catching 27 passes for 328 yards in seven games. Injuries have limited the 24-year-old to an 80% or higher snap share in only four of his seven appearances this season.
The Clemson alum delivered his first 100-yard game in his last healthy appearance in Week 9 against the Bills. The 2022 season showcased the high upside that Higgins possesses, and glimpses of that potential have surfaced this season.
When will Higgins return to action, and what is his fantasy football outlook upon his return? Let's delve into it.

Tee Higgins Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Higgins (hamstring) has been absent from the last three games of the season and has participated in only seven games overall. Following a cracked rib suffered in Week 4 against the Titans, the dynamic receiver faced limitations in two games and sat out entirely for one before making a full recovery by Week 9.
Unfortunately, Higgins encountered another setback when he injured his hamstring during practice on November 8th, leading to additional missed time. There is a 'chance' he may play this week against the Jaguars, and his practice participation should be monitored.
Tee Higgins Fantasy Football Outlook
With Joe Burrow (wrist) ruled out for the rest of the season, Higgins' fantasy value takes an additional hit. Jake Browning will be the starting quarterback for the remainder of the year, significantly diminishing the potency of the passing attack.
While alongside Ja'Marr Chase, these two young receivers can coexist effectively with Burrow under center, the situation changes without him, and there may not be enough touches consistently in an offense likely to face challenges.
If Higgins is able to play in Week 13, he'll face the Jaguars, a team that has allowed the ninth-most points per game to receivers this season. Under these circumstances, Higgins would be considered a WR3/flex play for the week.
