The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. writes that all indications are pointing to the Cincinnati Bengals using their franchise tag on impending free-agent wide receiver Tee Higgins this offseason. The franchise tag for a receiver for 2024 would cost Cincy $20.7 million. One league source suggested the Bengals could place the tag on Higgins early in the window as a statement acknowledging that no long-term deal will be reached and opening the door for the rest of the league to consider or submit tag-and-trade offers. The team could also tag Higgins again in 2025 but would do so at 120 percent of this year, which would be for $24.8 million. The 25-year-old wideout was a major source of frustration for fantasy managers in 2023, as he played in a career-low 12 games, finishing with 42 catches for 656 yards and only five touchdowns. If he remains in Cincy, his ceiling and floor will be capped as long as he's in the shadow of Ja'Marr Chase.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) is officially inactive for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, as expected. Higgins was listed as doubtful on Friday's final injury report, so fantasy managers should have already been ignoring Higgins everywhere for the final game of the year. The 24-year-old tweaked his hamstring in last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, and with the Bengals not having anything to play for in Week 18, they understandably aren't going to let Higgins suit up. He finishes his fourth year in the NFL with his most disappointing season to date, catching 42 passes for 656 yards and five touchdowns on 76 targets over 12 games. Higgins should be able to bounce back in 2024 with better health, but his fantasy value will depend on where he winds up in free agency. Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd will be Cincy's top two wideouts on Sunday.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) did not practice on Friday and is listed as doubtful to play in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Higgins didn't practice all week after tweaking his hamstring in the Week 17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. If the Bengals were still in playoff contention, the 24-year-old wideout might have made a bigger push to play, but Cincy doesn't have anything to play for besides pride in this one. Higgins played in only 12 games in his fourth NFL season due to various injuries and finished with career-lows in receptions (42), targets (76), receiving yards (656) and touchdowns (five). It didn't help that quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) dealt with injuries, too, and didn't play a full season. With Higgins out on Sunday, Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) and Tyler Boyd will be the team's top two wideouts.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) missed the team's practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Higgins injured his hamstring in the Week 17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and is looking unlikely to play in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns with the Bengals eliminated from postseason contention. As of right now, fantasy managers shouldn't anticipate having the 24-year-old available in a game that doesn't matter for either team this weekend. Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) is practicing in full and is expected to play, so he should be quarterback Jake Browning's top target. For those playing in DFS contests in Week 18, Tyler Boyd would become much more attractive as a low-cost sleeper if Higgins is inactive.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) was unable to practice with the team on Wednesday after stretching. Higgins tweaked his hamstring in the Week 17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday and finished with only one reception for 19 yards a week after going off for a 5-140-1 line. The Bengals don't have anything to play for in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns after getting eliminated from playoff contention in Week 17, so the Bengals won't be in any rush to get Higgins back on the field this weekend. If he doesn't play against Cleveland, Higgins would wrap up a disappointing fourth year with Cincy with 42 receptions for 656 yards and five touchdowns in a career-low 12 games. Tyler Boyd would be the team's No. 2 wideout behind Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) if Higgins ultimately ends up being inactive.
