Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle) said on Saturday that he has been playing through a left high-ankle sprain and will continue to do so if the Bengals make the playoffs. "I have no choice," Higgins said. The 25-year-old pass-catcher was forced to leave in the second half of Saturday night's win over the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers with his ankle issue and never returned. The Bengals need both the Broncos and Dolphins to lose on Sunday to get into the postseason, but if it all comes to fruition, Higgins will try to continue playing through his injury. Higgins has 11 catches for 131 yards and three touchdowns in the Week 17 win over the Broncos but only had four catches for 53 yards on Saturday before leaving early. If the Bengals advance, Higgins could carry a questionable tag into wild-card weekend.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle) exited Saturday's 19-17 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers and did not reenter. The 25-year-old was forced from the contest in the third quarter and was initially deemed questionable to return. However, he was not seen again after injuring his ankle. Cincinnati's offense missed him when he was gone -- having trouble moving the ball with Pittsburgh keyed in on teammate Ja'Marr Chase. Before leaving, Higgins caught 4-of-5 targets for 53 yards. Despite not returning, he was not immediately ruled out, which is a positive sign. With the Bengals snagging another win, they'll need some help tomorrow to punch their ticket to the playoffs.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) is officially active ahead of the Week 18 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Higgins carried a questionable tag into this game after getting in three limited practice sessions this week. Despite that, Higgins has been cleared to play and is a full-go for Saturday's game. Higgins is coming off a huge performance during last week's win over the Denver Broncos. He hauled in 11 of his 12 targets for 131 yards and three touchdowns last week. Fantasy managers can go ahead and plug Higgins into their lineups ahead of Saturday's game.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee), who is listed as questionable to play in Week 18 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, is expected to play in the must-win game, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Higgins was also questionable for last week's game against the Denver Broncos but suited up and went off, catching 11 of his 12 targets for 131 yards and three touchdowns in the thrilling overtime victory. The 25-year-old certainly isn't 100 percent right now, but he should be out there in another must-win game for the Bengals on the road in a hostile environment. Nobody should be expecting Higgins to even come close to replicating his Week 17 numbers, but he'll be a clear WR1 for fantasy managers if he's active on Saturday, as expected. In the first meeting with Pittsburgh on Dec. 1, Higgins caught five of 10 targets for 69 yards and a touchdown.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle/knee) is officially listed as questionable to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 18, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. Higgins turned in limited practices all week due to ankle and knee injuries. However, the former second-round pick was listed as questionable last week and delivered a three-touchdown performance. If the 25-year-old is active on Saturday, he's a clear top-10 wide receiver option for fantasy football and DFS purposes. If he cannot go, No. 3 wide receiver Andrei Iosivas could be a strong value pick in DFS contests.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as a limited participant for the second straight day ahead of his team's road meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Clemson product has been dealing with knee and ankle injuries for a few weeks now, though it hasn't stopped him from being effective on the field. Since picking up the first of his injuries in Week 15 (knee), Higgins has gone for 277 yards and five touchdowns across 24 receptions. He's the PPR WR2 over that stretch, averaging a robust 26.6 fantasy points per game. Fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on him just in case, but it seems unlikely he'll miss the Bengals' divisional clash this Saturday. With Cincinnati still battling for a chance at post-season play, he and the rest of their squad should be all systems go against the Steelers.

Since Week 11, Higgins has been one of the most valuable wide receivers from a fantasy perspective, averaging a stellar 22.3 PPR points per game. During this six-game stretch, the Clemson product has found the end zone seven times and averaged 86.2 yards per game. Fantasy managers should monitor his status throughout the week but should expect him to be a full-go for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was active for Saturday's meeting with the Broncos. The wideout had one of the best performances of his career in Week 17, amassing 131 yards off 11 catches. He also scored three touchdowns, with one in overtime securing the win for the Bengals. Without question, Cincinnati needs him on the field in Week 18 versus the Steelers to keep their playoff hopes alive. With that in mind, he should continue to get the attention of Joe Burrow, especially if the Pittsburgh defense keeps a close eye on Ja'Marr Chase.

Cincinnati's WR Tee Higgins had 11 receptions for 131 yards with three touchdowns in Saturday's win against the Broncos.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle/knee) is officially active for Saturday afternoon's matchup against the Denver Broncos. Higgins remained a limited participant throughout practice the week but carried a questionable tag heading into the weekend. Over his past five contests, the Clemson product has averaged a stellar 18.3 PPR points per game. During this stretch has averaged a strong 77.3 yards per game and has found the end zone four times. He has also seen double-digit targets in three of these five contests. Despite facing a tough Denver secondary that has allowed the seventh-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts, Higgins should be locked into all lineups as a solid WR2.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) is expected to play against the Denver Broncos in Week 17 despite being listed as questionable, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Higgins' season has been interrupted by numerous injuries, but he has been able to produce consistent results recently. He has been available for each of the Bengals' last five games, catching 29 passes for 386 yards and four touchdowns during that span. He has been able to carve out a large role for himself and remain an impactful fantasy contributor despite playing behind superstar wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase. Fantasy managers should view Higgins as a low-end WR2 this Saturday against the Broncos, who have allowed the 11th-most fantasy points per game to non-slot receivers over the last six weeks.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Denver Broncos. His limited participation in practice the last few days is an encouraging sign that he is trending toward playing. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, there's "optimism" he can play on Saturday. Although Higgins has had an up-and-down campaign in 2024, he has been a consistent and reliable wide receiver for fantasy managers and quarterback Joe Burrow lately. Higgins has scored 15 plus fantasy points in four of his last five games. RotoBaller ranks him WR10 in Week 17. The Bengals host the Broncos, who have been solid against the pass. However, this Bengals offense has been firing on all cylinders of late, and it would be difficult not to start Higgins with the upside this offense has. Keep a close eye on the weather, as the Ohio forecast may call for wind and rain on Saturday. Fantasy managers should continue to roll with Higgins for the fantasy championship week if active.

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle/knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Denver Broncos. Higgins remained a limited participant throughout the week but was unable to avoid an injury designation. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to Saturday's tilt. Over the past three weeks, Higgins has found the end zone three times and averaged a strong 15.4 PPR points per game. He has seen 8.5 targets per game during this span and tallied 59.5 yards per contest. Despite battling numerous injuries throughout the season, Higgins has scored an impressive seven touchdowns across ten games. Fantasy managers should start him in all formats if he can play despite facing a tough Denver secondary that has allowed the seventh-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle/knee) was limited to kick-off Week 17 preparation. Higgins often receives rest for various ailments throughout the season. However, he has not been listed with an ankle injury recently. That suggests that he picked up the ankle issue on Sunday, but the fact that he practiced in any capacity is encouraging. Higgins has put together a strong stretch of games recently. He has scored in four of his past five games and is receiving solid target volume. Higgins is having a solid season all-around with 727 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 10 games. The seven touchdowns match Higgins' career high. The Bengals will face a tough defense when they host the Denver Broncos in Week 17. However, matchups do not seem to matter with the way quarterback Joe Burrow is currently playing. Additionally, Higgins' ankle injury is worth keeping an eye on as the week progresses, but it is relatively unconcerning for now.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins had 58 yards and a touchdown off a team-high eight catches in the win over the Browns in Week 16. The wideout continues to get it done for fantasy managers, finding the end zone in five of his previous six appearances. Although Ja'Marr Chase commands attention from Joe Burrow from week-to-week, Higgins has remained involved throughout most of the year. The 25-year-old was listed on the injury report heading into this contest. Fortunately, he was good to go. With the Bengals looking for a spot in the postseason, Higgins remains a must-start versus a tough Broncos defense in Week 17.

Despite missing a practice this week due to a knee injury, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been cleared from the final Week 16 injury report and will play against the division-rival Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Higgins has missed several games this year due to injury, so fantasy managers may have been a bit worried when they saw him miss practice on Thursday. However, the 25-year-old was being rested more than anything and is fully expected to be fine this weekend as the Bengals look to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. When healthy in 2024, Higgins has been money for his fantasy managers, scoring six touchdowns in nine games played. He's no Ja'Marr Chase, but Higgins still has WR1 upside in fantasy for this week's matchup against Cleveland. In the first meeting against the Browns, Higgins caught four of eight targets for 82 yards and a touchdown.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (rest, knee) was seen practicing on Friday. He had been limited on Wednesday and absent on Thursday, so his presence to close out the week is a promising sign. According to ESPN's Ben Baby, Higgins was "working with trainers on the side, which has been the norm in recent weeks." It appears the 25-year-old receiver is trending toward playing against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16, but we'll want to see the Bengals' final injury report before jumping to any conclusions. Higgins is a borderline must-start receiver if active; he is averaging 5.8 catches, 82 yards, and 0.8 touchdowns over his last four games. He ranks as a mid-to-low WR2 option this Sunday against Cleveland.

Even though Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (knee) wasn't seen at the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, he did participate in some side work. Higgins is expected to return to practice on Friday and should be on track to play on Sunday against the division-rival Cleveland Browns in Week 16. On the official injury report, he was limited on Wednesday and a non-participant on Thursday. Fantasy managers should be planning to start the 25-year-old in semifinal matchups this weekend. He played 86 percent of the snaps in last week's win over the Tennessee Titans and caught five of his eight targets for 88 yards and a touchdown. Despite being in the shadow of All-Pro wideout Ja'Marr Chase, Higgins has been a strong option for fantasy managers in 2024 when he's been on the field, scoring six touchdowns in nine games played. He has WR1 upside in Week 16 against Cleveland.
