The Cincinnati Bengals will visit the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. 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 13?
Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Higgins (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday night’s game against the Ravens, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
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 Higgins in Week 13?
Higgins suffered a concussion late in Sunday’s loss to the Patriots, and with a short work week, he’s not going to be able to pass all of the protocols in time to play the Thanksgiving Day nightcap.
This has been a brutal run out for those who drafted Higgins this season, and sitting out a shootout with the Ravens is simply the latest example. The Joe Burrow injury hurt in a big way early in the season, and then he gets a game with competent QB play and no Ja’Marr Chase, only to leave early.
This is poorly timed, but it can’t be viewed as a surprise. Higgins logged a full season as a rookie, and that’s his only such year on his NFL resume (this will be his 11th missed game over the past three seasons).
Andrei Iosivas led the Bengals in targets (seven) and receiving yards (61) last week, and while that’s not really in play this week, he’s the low-end flex play to consider if injuries are giving you a hard time.
