Is Tee Higgins Injured or Playing in Week 11 - Should I Start Tyler Boyd for Fantasy Football

Cincinnati Bengals' wideouts Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd have both had rollercoaster fantasy seasons this year, as both have brought boom or bust potential to your fantasy lineups through 10 weeks of the season.

With Higgins not being able to play in Week 10, Boyd was able to fill in for the wideout where he produced eight catches for 117 receiving yards in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. Higgins was unable to play due to a hamstring injury that occurred in Week 9 where he caught eight catches for 110 yards against the Buffalo Bills.

Is Tee Higgins Playing In Week 11?

Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been battling a hamstring injury since the Week 9 win over the Buffalo Bills which further kept him absent in the Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Higgins has been ruled out for their Thursday Night game against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. This is not necessarily an unexpected development as Higgins has yet to practice in some sort of fashion this week. The fourth-year receiver will now miss his second straight game with the injury but will have a chance to return in Week 12 against the Pittsburg Steelers.

With Higgins unable to suit up in Week 11, quarterback Joe Burrow will have to lean on Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd, and Trenton Irwin as all three wideouts should see increased targets.

Should I Start Tyler Boyd for Fantasy Football Week 11?

The 29-year-old wide receiver will once again be expected to see an increased amount of targets and snaps with star wideout Tee Higgins being ruled out for Thursday's game against the Ravens. With Higgins missing last week as well, Boyd filled in just nicely as he hauled in eight of his nine targets for 117 receiving yards.

The Bengals do draw a tougher matchup in Week 11 as they face a strong Raven defense, but the Bengals' fast-paced offense and the absence of Higgins turn Boyd into a solid WR3 for fantasy managers this week.

We rank Tyler Boyd as the WR38 in our consensus half-ppr rankings.
