Love the guy and cannot believe the dude he has to draw double coverage across from him...eventually he is going to be open every down. 

Go Tee Go!

Well MoP you must also like Joey Burrow. Go Joe Go!

Not sure I would play Joe over Jalen this week, but I might. Got Higgins going in another league. I'm in.

Go Tee Go!

 
Week 11 fantasy stats: Behold the amount of ways Cowboys can crush you

Excerpt:

Bengals rank 7th in neutral pass rate since Week 7

It appears we’re getting the Bengals offense close to the form we’re used to as they come off their bye. After taking it slow on Joe Burrow early with a run-first approach, these Bengals look like the standard Zac Taylor operation.

Despite that, the targets are pretty concentrated between Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, who owned a combined 55.4 percent target share in the three games before the bye. Basically, no one else in this passing game is making much noise. It’s just these two.

From an opportunity standpoint, Higgins is much closer to Chase than many would think. He actually leads the team in air yards during that same stretch (409 to 318) and has seven red-zone targets to eight for Chase on the season. Remember that Higgins missed a couple of games, as well.

We all love Chase but we should at least like Higgins too. It feels strange that you’re getting a near 50-percent discount going from Chase’s $29 salary down to $15 with Higgins in DFS this week.

Tee Higgins (ankle) is not practicing Wednesday.

Higgins came out of his 9-138-1 day against the Chargers with an ankle issue. It's unclear how serious it is, but we'd like to see Higgins get back on the field Thursday before counting on him for Week 14 against the 49ers.

I don't own the guy anywhere but every time I watch him I think what a beast.  I'm surprised he doesn't get more attention

 
I own both Higgins and Chase in a rebuild, bought both on purpose and don’t regret it at all. They take turns being underrated compared to each other bc even when one is slumping they’re both just so good. And they aren’t even close to their ceilings (and neither is Burrow who is still getting better—I may buy him next). This offense is one minor Mixon injury away from going full passing bonanza, too. 

 
Tee Higgins (ankle) returned to Bengals practice on Thursday, getting in a "limited" session. 

Although a "full" day on Friday would be nice, this puts Higgins on track to suit up against the 49ers after he played through the issue in Week 13. Adrenaline helped with that, of course. Assuming Higgins is out there, he will slot in as the high-end WR2 the metrics suggested he should have been even before his 15/252/2 eruption over the previous two weeks.

Trending in the right direction and a huge match up at home vs the SF 49'ers after they sorta pooped the bed for long stints in the LAC game last week although they crawled back into it and were actually primed or a comeback victory until LAC woke up after the 24-0 lead that evaporated. 

I think Higgins is a complete stud at WR and with Chase opposite him he finds himself in a very good situation as the de-facto WR2, the Chase-Higgins combo with Burrow slinging it is going to terrorize Defenses for years to come.

Only real concern is Burrow's finger.   Was really bothering him on Sunday and it's possible that it still will be.

Go Tee Go!

Enjoying the recent ride. Thing is, Higgins is an outright stud. It also helps to have a true passer of the ball in a QB to increase his chances at success.

#Bengals RB Joe Mixon (illness) and WR Tee Higgins (ankle), both listed as questionable, are expected to play today vs. the #49ers, sources say.

 
Tee Higgins (ankle) was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday.

It's the first full practice that Higgins has logged since injuring his ankle in Week 13. This is a great sign for both Higgins and the Bengals as a whole. He'll be a locked-and-loaded WR2 against the Broncos on Sunday, as he's cleared 100 yards in three straight.

I was ready to dynasty panic sell mid-season when Jamarr appeared to take hold of clear WR1 role. Glad I held / was too last to work trades. Might propel me to ship.

Not sure what happened last month but Higgins/Jamarr looking more like 1a/1b as some predicted.

Wanna strangle myself for benching him for Waddle and RoJo

Yeah I did yhe same for RoJo and probably would have for Antonio Brown had I not flexed rojo.

Worst thing for me looking back were the Fournette and WR injuries having me pick those guys up to play RoJo and Cook being out so I start Mattison.  Had that not happened I probably start Higgins and win.  
Oh well.

 
I have a man crush on Higgins right now! He was the only player I started in both of my leagues. Missing Kelce in one of those leagues so I was glad he came through. 

 
Been riding him for a few weeks in redraft, close to releasing him a few times but love his talent and never doubted it, just felt like Chase had surpassed him. Now it looks like Chase benefits as much from him as he does from Chase.

This is where luck Trumps skill in FF.  

 
Lost both of my RB's to Covid (Cook and Ekeler) and Higgins carried me to victory this week. 👍😀👍 And I almost benched him for Amon-Ra St. Brown. Would've lost if I did, since I only won by six points. 

 
not to bring up the past (though it is relevent).... THIS is why I dont put too much stock into combine numbers. 

this is kid is and remains a demon.

 
Of course my team, with Higgins, turns it on in the consolation bracket  😐

This kid is a beast.  Too bad there weren't occasional monster weeks like this Weeks 3-11.

Comps coming out of college were Doctson and Allen Robinson. He's obviously closer to Robinson. 

 
Earlier this year for a rebuild I dealt Mahomes and Tyreek for both Chase and Higgins. 1 QB, but it was still hard to give up those paired week winners. Couldn’t be happier now, it’ll be much easier to replace Mahomes when I decide to come out of the rebuild and go all-in. 

 
This is almost like a Dallas and TB situation where there's only one football and many mouths to feed. Higgins was almost shut out in 2 of the previous 5 games, so he was on the bench in some leagues.

If you benched him against the ravens defense starting cbs off the street, that's on you.

Hindsight is 20/20.  Lots of WRs were rated higher than Higgins this week. In my league, someone started Patterson, Lamb and Antonio Brown over Higgins. Those choices make sense.

I think those are fine.  

I did 18 leagues this year--just about all of them I had to scrap a starter or two off of FA.  It doubt there are a ton of cases where an owner had so many other outstanding options that they benched Higgins.

Also, in 2 of the previous 5 weeks, Higgins had duds.

I benched him for Penny in a non PPR.  I was starting Kupp and Antonio Brown at WR.  In hindsight I should have benched Najee and played Higgins instead.  I do that I win.  Instead I lose.  Ugh.  

Last time vs Baltimore Chase had over 200 yds and Higgins had 62.  Even with the CB's issues I expected Chase to dominate again.  I wasn't expecting Burrow to go over 500 yds and allowing Chase, Higgins, and Boyd to all have big games.
