Bengals WR Tee Higgins had a big game Sunday night in his return from a three-week quad injury. Higgins caught a team-high nine passes for 148 yards and a TD in the loss to the Chargers. He tied WR Ja'Marr Chase for the target lead (13) and trailed Chase's team lead in routes by just five. Chase caught seven balls for 75 yards and 2 TDs against the Chargers.
2024 Fantasy Football Impact
Higgins has topped 70 yards in four straight appearances and caught 6+ passes in four of his six outings this season.
His 6.3 receptions per game sit 1.0 ahead of his previous high (2021) and 1.7 ahead of his last near-full season with Joe Burrow (2022).
Higgins gets a Week 12 bye but should be a weekly fantasy starter on the other side of that.
He does get a difficult matchup with the Steelers in Week 13 and a tough spot vs. Denver in Week 17 (plus a Week 18 Pittsburgh rematch if your league plays that week).
