Outlook Tee Higgins

Primed for a Major Rebound in a High-Powered Cincinnati Offense

Higgins enters the season locked into his starting role on the outside opposite Ja'Marr Chase in a Joe Burrow-led passing attack. He reported early to voluntary offseason workouts, signaling strong motivation. The veteran receiver is publicly aiming to secure his first 1,000-yard, 10-touchdown campaign.

Our projections expect Higgins to deliver on those high aspirations. We project him to earn 141 targets, translating to 76 receptions, 1,068 yards, and nine touchdowns. Having scored 21 combined touchdowns over the last two seasons, Higgins remains one of the league's most dangerous red-zone weapons.

Financially and competitively motivated, Higgins' ADP in PPR leagues has risen from the mid-40s in May to the mid-30s in June. Our models view his current draft price as an absolute steal. He represents a highly secure WR2 with a weekly WR1 ceiling.
