Tee Higgins at Dolphins — Road Favorite with High Ceiling Despite Injury Question

Higgins heads into Week 5 carrying a questionable tag with groin and neck injuries sustained after an explosive 11-catch, 157-yard outing against Jacksonville. With Andrei Iosivas on injured reserve, Higgins remains Cincinnati's co-focal point on the outside alongside Ja'Marr Chase, but fantasy managers must check back before kickoff to ensure he is officially active.

If he suits up, our models project him for around 4 to 5 catches, roughly 69 receiving yards, and 7 targets against a winless Miami squad. Start rates have declined to 61% amid the injury worry, but assuming he is cleared to play, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a strong WR2.

Outlook Germie Bernard

Germie Bernard Steps Into Starting Role on the Road in Tampa Bay

With Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson both sidelined on injured reserve, Bernard has stepped in as a starting wide receiver opposite DK Metcalf. Aaron Rodgers has shown growing trust in the rookie, targeting him 11 times over the past two weeks, resulting in eight catches for 91 receiving yards.

Rostered in roughly 76% of leagues following a massive waiver rush, Bernard is squarely on the streaming radar. Our weekly projection lands at 9.6 fantasy points with 3.7 catches and 42.5 yards, making him a viable flex option against Tampa Bay despite a modest 39-point game total.
