Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) has already missed time due to injuries this season, and it looks like there's a good chance he'll miss even more. He's struggled with injury issues his whole career, and his inability to stay healthy has frustrated fantasy managers and his team's fans alike.
It's been unfortunate to see such a talented receiver miss so many games, and it's likely that he plays through significant pain when he is on the field. He's an excellent talent, and it's hard to knock his game for anything other than constantly being hurt.
So, will he play football tonight on Thursday night?

Tee Higgins Fantasy Football Injury Update
No. 5 for Cincy is listed as "Doubtful" on the team's injury report, leaving little chance that he will play tonight. Fantasy managers should be prepared to be without him. The vast majority of the time, players who are doubtful do not suit up for their games. It would be a very rare occurrence if he were to go.

It's a big loss for a crucial divisional matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. Cincinnati sits at 4-5 with their playoff hopes on the line, and they already lost to BAL earlier in the season in a 38-41 heartbreaker in overtime.
Tee Higgins Fantasy Football Injury Impact
We'll probably see tight end Mike Gesicki get more work, as we have in all the games he's played in where Higgins hasn't been able to suit up. He's put up excellent stats in those games while being nearly absent from the stat sheets when Higgins is on the field. It seems like he's in line for another healthy dose of targets.

The Ravens haven't defended the pass well, so Gesicki becomes a must-start. Obviously, WR Ja'Marr Chase, quarterback Joe Burrow, and running back Chase Brown should also be in starting lineups. However, Brown has a tough matchup ahead, as the Ravens allow the eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing backs this season.
