2024 Fantasy Outlook
Higgins finished an injury-plagued 2023 with career lows in nearly every major receiving category, missing five games and playing less than 70 percent of snaps in four others. He's in high demand this offseason all the same, with Cincinnati giving the 25-year-old a franchise tag for $21.8 million and then holding firm against a trade request. Reports in late March suggest the Bengals are at least willing to listen to offers -- though they won't actively shop Higgins -- perhaps opening the door for a deal if a receiver-needy team like New England or Carolina is willing to overpay. The Bengals' stance is understandable given that Higgins averaged 71.7 catches for 1,009 yards and 6.3 TDs over 15.3 games in his first three seasons after entering the league as a second-round pick. He was also highly productive at Clemson, where he had 2,103 yards and 25 TD catches between his age-19 and age-20 seasons. While not especially fast (4.54 40 at his pro day), Higgins is one of the league's bigger receivers (6-4, 216) and one of the best at winning jump balls downfield. He's also quite useful on short and intermediate routes, though his target rate dropped to around 20 percent of routes the past two years with Ja'Marr Chase gobbling up a huge share of the short passes. Higgins drew targets on 23.4 percent of routes in 2021 when Chase was deployed more as a deep threat, finishing with a still-career-high 110 targets despite missing three games. While other players drafted in the same range offer more volume upside, Higgins has never produced less than 8.4 YPT in a season and should best last year's mark of 8.6 if he and QB Joe Burrow both manage to stay relatively healthy.

RANKS
Earns 10 targets
Higgins recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Higgins has commanded 16 targets through two games this season, though he's yet to turn that into standout performances. He was effective for the Bengals on Sunday by tallying four catches of 10 or more yards, though his longest gain was only 12 yards. Higgins has traditionally been a deep threat in the Cincinnati offense, so his production should tick up in the coming weeks.

2020
Higgins is a reliable, high-end WR2 in both real life and fantasy terms. Actually, he might be more than that if he ends up somewhere besides Cincinnati, but it looks like the Bengals have no interest in giving into the trade rumors ahead of the fourth and final season of his rookie contract. A franchise tag next offseason seems likely if no long-term deal is reached, with Higgins coming off back-to-back 1,000 yard campaigns and recording at least 908 yards and six touchdowns in each of his first three NFL seasons. At 6-4, he's a regular menace on jump balls and contested catches, also showing a degree of prowess on short and intermediate passes even if he's not nearly the YAC threat that teammate Ja'Marr Chase is. In terms of fantasy upside beyond the 1,200-yard range or so, that'll probably only happen for Higgins in Cincinnati if Chase misses extended time -- a scenario that would leave the talented 2020 second-round pick as Joe Burrow's unquestioned top option.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Plans to play Monday night
Higgins, who's missed the first two games of the season due to a hamstring injury, says he'll make his debut Monday night against the Commanders, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Higgins still has one more practice to get through Saturday, but the veteran wideout already proclaimed himself fully healthy Friday and said he expects to play at full strength. Higgins added he already felt good going through warmups before the Week 2 loss to the Chiefs but wanted to be cautious and wait another week so he could manage a full workload whenever he did make his return.
