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.

Status in doubt for Week 1
Higgins (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Higgins made an appearance on the Bengals' Week 1 injury report Thursday as limited due to a hamstring issue, which didn't allow him to practice at all Friday, per Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Coach Zac Taylor told Geoff Hobson of the team's official site, "We'll see," when asked about the status of Higgins and fellow WR Ja'Marr Chase (non-injury related/rest) for Sunday's contest. With Higgins unlikely to suit up and Chase listed as questionable, there's a chance QB Joe Burrow will be without his top two options at the position this weekend. In such a scenario, Andrei Iosivas and rookie Jermaine Burton would be thrust into larger roles in Cincinnati's offense.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
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.

Listed as doubtful for Week 1
Higgins is listed as doubtful due to a hamstring injury on the Bengals' final injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Patriots, the team's official X account reports.
ANALYSIS
Higgins' condition quickly deteriorated this past week, with the injury apparently occurring at some point in Thursday's practice. With fellow wideout Ja'Marr Chase still embroiled in a contract dispute but having made an appearance in all three practices this week, it's uncertain if either player will be available against New England.
