Tee Higgins Latest Injury Update - November 22
Tee Higgins (hamstring) did not play against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. The wideout was still recovering from the hamstring injury and will look to further rest it because as of Wednesday, Higgins was not out with the team during practice.
This will put Higgins in danger of missing his third straight game for the Bengals. Further information about his return date should be available this week.
Tee Higgins Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Higgins (hamstring) originally suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 9 win to the Buffalo Bills. He managed to play throughout the game, logging eight of his nine catches for 110 yards.
According to head coach Zac Taylor, Higgins will be one of the players who will not participate in practice on Wednesday. This of course is a bad start to the week for the wideout, who will need at least a limited practice to give him any sort of hope to play this week. His situation is worth monitoring.
Tee Higgins Fantasy Football Outlook
Higgins will have some concerns surrounding the idea of being a must-start player for fantasy owners. Even if he's 100% healthy, Higgins has not performed as well as past seasons, logging just 27 catches for 328 yards and two touchdowns through seven games played.
The wideout's upside will also be limited now with star quarterback Joe Burrow being ruled out for the remainder of the season with a thumb injury. Backup Jake Browning will now start at the quarterback position for the Bengals/
If Higgins is able to return this week, fantasy owners can view him as a low-end WR2 this week.
