BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins started the season on the bench -- he wasn't able to go due to a hamstring injury. He returned in Week 3 and was likely load-managed for that game. Since then, he's been fantastic for fantasy managers, scoring double-digit points in Weeks 4-6.

He's been balling out since he returned and has surprisingly been quarterback Joe Burrow's primary read more than any other receiver. He's commanding a huge target share and getting end-zone targets as well. There's not much to dislike about his game currently.
Tee Higgins has his second TD today!

The presence of fellow star WR Ja'Marr Chase means he probably won't get 10+ targets each game, but the former Clemson Tiger has a clear and prominent role in the offense, and he's capitalizing on his opportunities. He would be the clear No. 1 receiver on many other teams. He's a great talent.
He should be started in all leagues regardless of matchup.
