Tee Higgins Injury Update
Higgins (quad) was a late addition to the injury report. As of now, he's a true game-time decision for Week 8. If he does play and handle a near-full workload, he'll rank as a strong fantasy WR2 against Philadelphia.
Per sources, there’s a real chance Bengals WR Tee Higgins, who injured his quad in Friday’s practice, has to miss Sunday’s game against the Eagles. The Bengals are planning to go right up until game time before deciding, but there’s pessimism about his chances to play.

#Ravens WR Zay Flowers, who only practiced once this week while dealing with an ankle injury, will have a pre-game workout to determine his status, sources say.
