Latest takes
“Joe Burrow (QB – CIN) According to Sharp Football Analysis , the Bengals have the second-easiest schedule this season, which bodes well for a passing attack featuring Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 6“For example, fantasy players would need to use four of their first five or six picks to build a Cincinnati Bengals stack of Ja’Marr Chase , Chase Brown , Tee Higgins , and Joe Burrow”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 6“ADP: +6 Tee Higgins continues to thrive as Cincinnati’s high-end No.”

“20 come from two buckets: Hyper-specified role players (Stefon Diggs, Rashee Rice) Guys with other top 24 or strong ancillary target competition (Both Rams WRs, Jameson Williams, CeeDee Lamb, Tee Higgins, Quentin Johnston with Ladd McConkey/Keenan Allen) You may notice there’s one guy on this list who fits in neither, and it’s Thundering Herd legend Christian Watson (shout out to NDSU).”
Tony Martin· Jul 30“Undervalued: Tee Higgins, Wide Receiver (WR16, Pick 37 OVR) Tee Higgins is a #1 receiver; he just happens to play with one of the biggest alphas in the NFL with Ja’Marr Chase. He’s a dominant playmaker who just happens to lose targets to the dominant playmaker in the league.”
Jeff Krisko· Jul 25“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“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“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“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“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“Despite averaging slightly fewer targets per game with Burrow (6.7 vs. 7.8), Higgins averaged more fantasy points per contest (15.2 vs. 13.4) and fantasy points per target (2.3 vs. 1.7) with the superstar quarterback.”
Mike Fanelli· Jul 1“Back at the Round 3-4 turn in 2026, Higgins offers an excellent combination of floor and ceiling — even in a range with several other intriguing wide receivers.”
Jakob Sanderson· Jun 20“Tee Higgins (12th in total WR points last year) is going for an average auction value less than their projection.”
Evan Hoovler· Jun 19“Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins give the Bengals a chance in every game, but how good can the defense be?”
Raymond Summerlin· Mar 20“Top cap hit: Tee Higgins, $26,514,706 (8.8 percent)”
Logan Ulrich· Jul 5
“Josh Jacobs (RB – GB) Going as the RB14, 21st overall, Jacobs is projected for 289 carries, 1,161 rushing yards, and 12 rushing touchdowns, plus another 36 catches and roughly one receiving touchdown. Health was the story that took some shine off last season, as a knee bruise and thigh injury limited him over the second half.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 8“Josh Jacobs was involved in an offseason domestic incident that is reportedly still under investigation, though no charges have been filed.”
Curtis Hirsch· Aug 5“Round 6: Josh Jacobs (RB – GB) I’m a bit skeptical of Josh Jacobs because of his off-the-field issues, but if he’s on the field, he’ll get plenty of carries and catch around 40 passes.”

“1 | Diff: +5 Josh Jacobs has been the RB8 and RB9 in fantasy points per game during his two seasons in Green Bay.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 5“31 10 21 James Cook 13 5 8 Josh Jacobs 7 15 -8 Saquon Barkley 2 13 -11 Bucky Irving 10 33 -23 In past years, so many top RBs have gotten hurt that the Zero (or hero) RB draft strategies have become popular.”
Jordan Pullett· Jul 29“Running Back For the RB1 cutoff, one analyst goes as deep as Josh Jacobs around RB15, while the other draws the line one tier earlier at Derrick Henry.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 25“Josh Jacobs (RB – GB) Josh Jacobs finds himself in a similar situation to Saquon Barkley, but for very different reasons. Unlike Barkley, who has a new offensive coordinator and is on a team primed to bounce back from top to bottom, Jacobs finds himself in a very similar situation to last season.”
Ellis Johnson· Jul 17“The swift decline in Josh Jacobs' market value has everything to do with the legal cloud hanging over him. He was arrested in late May on domestic violence allegations. While he was later released, prosecutors say the investigation is still ongoing.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Jun 24“With starting running back Josh Jacobs entering his age-28 stride, and also being the alleged perpetrator of domestic violence, Lloyd may finally get a shot to play meaningful snaps for the Packers.”
Edward DeLauter· Jun 23“Josh Jacobs might be the biggest value in early fantasy football drafts. Despite finishing as a productive fantasy back last season, Jacobs is currently being drafted outside the top 12 running backs in many formats. The case is simple: Green Bay trusts Jacobs near the goal line, he remains heavily involved as an early-down runner, and his receiving floor is underrated.”
FantasyPros Staff· May 10“Josh Jacobs at 299 [college touches] is one of only two other backs who had fewer than 400 college touches and were first-round picks.”
Rich Hribar· Apr 24“Josh Jacobs' legal situation makes things a bit cloudy for the upcoming season, but it's never a bad thing to stockpile running backs.”
Kurt Blakeway· Jul 10“Jacobs will be subject to the league's personal conduct policy and will likely face a suspension ahead of the 2026 season, pending the league's internal investigation.”
Jonathan Comeaux· May 26“Jacobs' attorneys announced that their client "vehemently denies" the allegations against him: "Josh vehemently denies the allegations, and this matter is in the early stages of investigation with important evidence that has not yet been made public."”
Jonathan Comeaux· May 26“Jacobs turned himself in to the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department in Wisconsin after the incident occurred on Saturday, May 23.”
