BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 With WR2 Upside
ANALYSIS: Tee Higgins, who has started the season sidelined due to a hamstring injury, plans to make his season debut in Week 3 on Monday Night against the Washington Commanders. Higgins also noted to reporters that he is feeling 100% healthy after practice on Friday.
This comes as great news to quarterback Joe Burrow and the rest of the Cincinnati Bengals offense, who have been struggling so far without him. In fact, through the first two games of this season, they rank 17th in passing yards (200 per game) and 21st in points scored (17.5 per game).
In 2023, Higgins had an off-year and could only appear in 12 games due to hamstring and rib injuries. Before that, however, he was incredibly productive. In 2021 and 2022, he finished as the overall fantasy WR24 and WR18 (PPR) respectively.
HE’S LIKE THAT 🗣🗣🗣

Higgins has excellent chemistry with Burrow and will provide much-needed depth to a shallow receiving group that has been very dependent on Ja’Marr Chase this year. To hear that Higgins feels 100% healthy is great news for his fantasy managers, as they should find some way to start him in Week 3. He is the type of player who has the potential to just hit the ground running and make an impact right away.
