The Cincinnati Bengals (2-4) will host the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-1) in Week 7. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Tee Higgins.
Is Tee Higgins Playing in Week 7?
Higgins is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Bengals’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Tee Higgins in Week 7?
The Joe Flacco experience allowed Tee Higgins to set or match season highs in catches, targets, and yards.
That’s the good.
The bad? This offense is still broken. It’s just going to be a little less so with the veteran QB calling the shots. They turned 16 carries into 55 yards against the Packers, and without much depth to their production, defenses aren’t going to hesitate to speed up Flacco, forcing him to make quick decisions.
I don’t think this is the last time we see Ja’Marr Chase and Higgins post a combined 50% target share, but both fail to record a 20-yard catch.
Higgins is a WR3 and carries just as much downside weekly as upside (in this crazy 2022 season, that’s a step forward from what I said in this article two weeks ago).
