As unlikely as it seemed, the Bengals re-signed Higgins to a big contract last offseason, and while it didn't quite pan out in the win column, Higgins proved his tremendous value on the field with a strong statistical season. His 11 touchdowns were a career high, and while he still missed a few games, they were fluky head injuries, and not the typical soft tissue injuries we are used to. With Burrow back, and Chase on the other side to soak up the defensive attention, Higgins is set up for a career year. He's got a double-digit scoring floor, and 1,000-yard upside if things line up. He's the rare WR2 that can win you a week all by himself, just be prepared to be without him a few games, as he hasn't played a full season since his rookie year in 2020.

Bengals WRs dealing with minor injuries Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins likely to be limited all week By: Doug Orth | Tue Sep 1, 9:10 pm

| | Ja’Marr Chase will be limited this week but Zac Taylor feels good about his progress. Tee Higgins also may be limited with heel contusion. Shemar Stewart will rehab this week and is week to week. (FOX19 - Charlie Goldsmith)
FFToday's Take: It was only a couple of weeks ago that the fantasy world held its collective breath when Chase landed awkwardly on a catch attempt during practice. Neither Chase nor Higgins appears to be in any doubt regarding Week 1, which makes both players strong starts in fantasy against a questionable Tampa Bay defense in what could/should be a shootout.
