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
“The expectation was that Corum would eat into Kyren Williams ‘ workload with the potential to eventually take over the backfield”
Chad Workman· Aug 6“In 2025, however, Williams started to see his role reduced with backfield mate Blake Corum earning more touches. In 2023 and 2024, Kyren Williams had Opportunity Shares of 78.4% and 82.8%.”
Wyatt Bertolone· Aug 3“If we do see some natural regression and balance in passing-to-rushing scores, Kyren Williams should be the bet to benefit. Williams played 69.2% of the snaps in the red zone and out-touched Blake Corum 58 to 26 in that area.”

“Kyren Williams slotted behind Omarion Hampton and only barely ahead of Jeremiyah Love is, frankly, scandalous. Williams is entering his age-26 season, so he certainly isn’t cooked.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 23“Round 3: Kyren Williams (RB – LAR) Kyren Williams was the counter-pick, a player who’s kept sliding further down draft boards each offseason despite finishing as a top-10 running back in fantasy points per game last year. Much of the hesitation traces back to a well-known backfield split with a rookie teammate, but the full-season split was closer to 65-35 in Williams’ favor, not the even split many assume.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 20“Drafting Perine robs you of a chance to find the next Kyren Williams—a late-round pick in 2023 who ran for 1,144 yards and scored 15 touchdowns that year.”
Pat Fitzmaurice· Jul 10“You can likely snag him in the fifth or even sixth round. There, you are landing a player who has finished as the RB10, RB10, and RB2 in fantasy points per game since 2023. If you're still on the fence, know that Williams gets one of the five easiest schedules for running backs.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Jun 29“Kyren Williams catches a lot of flak, but much of it seems unwarranted. All the guy does is produce. He has three straight seasons of at least 1,100 rushing yards, 30-plus receptions, and 13 touchdowns. And yet, he's sitting all the way down at RB22 in dynasty rankings.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Jun 29“For the fourth straight season, there is a clear runway for Kyren to have another top 10 finish along with 10-plus touchdowns.”
Ellis Johnson· Jun 10“Corum only had one game above 40 percent of the snaps. Even with this stretch, Williams remained the lead back and was heavily relied on in the playoffs.”
Ellis Johnson· Jun 10“In points per game, he was two slots lower at RB11, averaging 15.5 points per outing. Williams does add a bit of production in the pass-catching game, which is a plus because Blake Corum doesn't catch the ball. However, when it comes to running the ball, Corum looked like the better option many times.”
Richard Janvrin· Jun 9“While Kyren Williams ran 259 times for 1,252 yards and 10 touchdowns, and caught 36 passes for 281 yards and three more scores, I believe he's in for a down season. Last season, Williams finished as the RB9 in PPR leagues.”
Richard Janvrin· Jun 9“Kyren Williams was the RB10 in fantasy points per game last season, marking his third straight year finishing inside the top 15. Blake Corum did eat into his playing time a bit, but Williams still held onto the valuable red-zone role.”
Kurt Blakeway· May 25“Williams is valued a bit too highly across dynasty marketplaces for his projection moving forward.”
Wyatt Bertolone· May 20“Kyren Williams threw his support behind OT Warren McClendon, Jr. and reiterated that he was a staple along the team's offensive line last season. "I learned so much about Warren. I love him as a player and being out there on that field with him when I had the chance this year to do that with him. It was fun because he has that competitive mindset, competitive spirit."”
