Expert takes
“The only options behind Ja’Marr Chase and Higgins are former CFL star Dohnte Meyers , undrafted free agent (UDFA) Mitchell Tinsley and Day 3 rookie Colbie Young . With Higgins nursing an adductor strain, he may miss Week 5, but he should be in a great spot long term. I have Higgins as my WR14, well ahead of his WR18 ECR ranking.”
Jim Moorman· Oct 6, 2026“Chase got in a full practice on Friday while Higgins was full as well.”
FFToday· Oct 11, 2026“Ja’Marr Chase & Tee Higgins | WRs, Cincinnati Bengals (QUES) Both Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are questionable heading into Sunday. Chase needs to clear concussion protocol, while Higgins has groin and neck injuries holding him back. We could see this go several ways, but if one of them is out, Dohnte Meyers has some flex appeal in a strong matchup against Miami.”

“Higgins has the following stats in three games this year: 82.3% route participation rate 22.3% target share 0.25 targets per route run (TPRR) 26.0% first-read rate 44.8% air yard share 4.7 receptions per game 81.3 receiving yards per game 2.62 yards per route run (Y/RR) 1 red-zone target 1 end-zone target 1 receiving touchdown 14.80 DraftKings points per game 12.47 FanDuel points per game Higgins is a fantastic Robin and can post the best numbers in Cincinnati’s wideout room in any given week. Mike Gesicki is a tight end in name only. He’s a wideout in practice, and with Andrei Iosivas injured, the faux tight end can keep playing well.”
Josh Shepardson· Oct 1, 2026““ Tee Higgins is one of my favorite sell highs this week. He won’t completely fall off, but his value could be at a season high right now. He is benefiting from Chase Brown underperforming at the moment, and he has had back-to-back weeks of outperforming Ja’Marr Chase in the yardage department, which I just can’t see happening long term.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 30, 2026“Chase and Higgins are both at 6.6%, which fits perfectly with my Burrow stance. I want plenty of CIN double stacks rather than choosing only one. Pairing Chase Brown with Burrow + Ja’Marr Chase and/or Tee Higgins is my favorite stack of the week in mega large field (10k+ entries).”
Chris Cash· Sep 26, 2026“Joe Burrow may not be a must-start this week, but Chase Brown , Ja’Marr Chase , and Tee Higgins are all auto-starts.”
Jordan Pullett· Sep 25, 2026“Tee Higgins – 10 targets, 5 rec Ja’Marr Chase – 9 targets, 7 rec The Bengals WR duo also doesn’t need much examination. Through two weeks, Higgins holds a slight 16-13 advantage in total targets. They will each have big games this season, and Joe Burrow will be the biggest beneficiary if both star WRs stay healthy.”
Aaron Larson· Sep 22, 2026“Tee Higgins isn’t Cincinnati’s top pass-catching weapon, but he’s quite good. Higgins has rattled off the following numbers in 24 games with Burrow playing at least 20 snaps since 2023: 81.0% route participation rate 20.9% target share 0.23 TPRR 36.7% air yards share 5.1 receptions per game 64.3 receiving yards per game 1.95 Y/RR 37 targets inside the 20-yard line 26 end-zone targets 16 receiving touchdowns 15.85 DraftKings points per game 15.38 expected DraftKings points per game 12.93 FanDuel points per game 12.85 expected FanDuel points per game Tampa Bay’s cornerbacks are ill-equipped to handle Higgins and his running mate at wide receiver.”
Josh Shepardson· Sep 10, 2026“Tee Higgins (WR – CIN) While Higgins has a history of injuries, he has finished in the WR15 through WR19 range in PPR scoring in three of the past four years, including 2025, despite Joe Burrow missing over half the season. Despite averaging slightly fewer targets per game with Burrow (6.7 vs.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 27, 2026“Higgins is right behind Burden in LTV, and if Burden were to match Higgins in scoring, well, I’d say that would be a successful season.”
Jonathan Lange· Jul 21, 2026“We haven't seen a full season out of Tee Higgins since 2022, but he's a TD machine when healthy. Higgins has 21 receiving TDs over the last two years; only Chase, Amon-Ra, and Davante Adams have more.”
Colt Williams· Jul 8, 2026“Higgins has been propped up by some massive touchdown totals the past two seasons. After 24 scores over his first four seasons, Higgins found pay dirt 21 times in 27 games between 2024 and 2025. With numbers like that, Higgins' expected fantasy points per game were at 11.3 last season, but the touchdowns pushed his actual average up to 14.1.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Jul 7, 2026“Over the past two seasons, Higgins has finished as the WR5 and WR13 on a per-game basis. That said, his value can only go down from here. He's already 27.5 years old, so he's about to hit that age range where dynasty managers start getting antsy and unloading receivers before any decline starts.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Jul 7, 2026“Tee Higgins is undoubtedly the best WR "2" in the NFL. He ranks as our 18th WR, higher than 15 other teams' highest drafted pass catcher! He lined up out wide on 87.7% of his routes, the seventh-highest rate among all wide receivers, cementing his status as a primary boundary receiver.”
Chris Cash· Jul 7, 2026
“Josh Allen averaged 21.6 passing points per game (standard scoring) across the first two weeks of the season. Over the last two, he’s been at 7.1.”
The FF Newsletter· Oct 8, 2026“Only Josh Allen has run hotter, and we saw Allen hit a spot of regression last week. The 49ers are stacking enough injuries to impact things, too. It sounds as if Trent Williams will be good for Sunday.”
Rich Hribar· Sep 30, 2026“LAC | DraftKings: $8,000/FanDuel: $9,100* It’s odd to say Josh Allen could be a contrarian play, but his rostership should come in very moderate this week. There’s a $500 difference between Allen and Lamar Jackson , and Jackson is in a high-volume matchup against Dallas, making him a popular play this week. Playing Allen doesn’t need much justification.”

“Josh Allen should meet little resistance, and James Cook can gash them on the ground, too.”
Josh Shepardson· Sep 24, 2026“Bills Fantasy Quarterback Preview Josh Allen (TRUST) We could be seeing the best season of Allen's career, which is saying something. We are only two weeks in, so we will keep things in check, but Allen is averaging career-highs in touchdown rate (8.3%), yards per pass attempt (9.7), and yards per completion (14.6). The Bills are throwing more, and they are throwing it downfield, something we were betting on this offseason.”
Rich Hribar· Sep 23, 2026“Last Thursday, Allen ran in Buffalo’s first TD himself , then proceeded to spread the love to Joshua Palmer , Dawson Knox , and Dalton Kincaid before running in another TD himself for good measure. Only then did he finally hand it off to Cook for Buffalo’s sixth and final trip to the end zone. But this was ultimately the Josh Allen show, which is exactly why he lands among our overachievers this week.”
Brooke Morgan· Sep 23, 2026“Josh Allen remains a two-way scoring threat for the second straight week — 2 rushing TDs again. Another dual-threat scoring day (20-of-31 for 248, 3 TD passes, plus 14 carries for 69 yards with the aforementioned scores). Buffalo opened with a notable heavy package: three tight ends on the field to start.”
Andrew Erickson· Sep 22, 2026“Houston Texans Hot take alert: Josh Allen is good at football. The Bills quarterback supermanned his squad to a win over the vaunted Texans defense, creating big play after big play and frustrating an extremely talented unit on the other side. Offseason acquisition D.J.”
Ethan Woodie· Sep 15, 2026“Josh Allen led Buffalo to a 36-31 victory on the road against Houston, finally able to shake the monkey from his back at Reliant Stadium. A 34-yard touchdown pass to Joshua Palmer with 1:36 remaining in the game proved to be the decisive score and the cherry on top of Allen’s four-touchdown masterpiece. Houston’s typically stingy defense surrendered 334 passing yards and was unable to contain Allen on the ground as a runner, allowing him to score two rushing touchdowns.”
Evan Tarracciano· Sep 14, 2026“BUF @ HOU (BUF-1.5, O/U 44.5) Josh Allen ranks as the Ballers consensus QB9 behind some names that may be on your waiver wire. However, the Ballers recommend starting Allen over names like Stafford and Goff, who rank above him this week. DJ Moore ranks as a potential FLEX play, but lower your expectations against Houston’s defense.”
Jordan Pullett· Sep 12, 2026“1 — Josh Allen , Buffalo Bills Allen is a model of consistency. In two of the last three years, his adjusted completion rate was above 76 percent. His big-time throw rate went from 6.1 percent in 2023 to 7.0 percent in 2024 to 5.1 percent in 2025, all while keeping his turnover-worthy play rate below three percent.”
Ethan Woodie· Sep 11, 2026“Josh Allen is always startable, but temper expectations slightly. The Rams play the 49ers in East Melbourne on Thursday night (Netflix), a marquee international matchup between two top-10 offenses. Both SF (+0.09) and LA (+0.14) have the firepower to put up big numbers – your Rams and 49ers skill players are strong plays.”
Samuel DiSorbo· Sep 10, 2026“Patrick Mahomes has led the league in passing yards once, and Josh Allen has yet to do it at all.”
