Tee Higgins: 148 yards and a score in blowout
THE FACT. Higgins caught six of seven targets for 148 yards and a touchdown in Cincinnati's 35-13 win over Baltimore on Sunday, per the Bengals' official game recap and Bleacher Report's box score. Joe Burrow finished 22 of 30 for 292 yards and four touchdown passes, and Ja'Marr Chase added five catches for 62 yards and a score on seven targets of his own.
THE VERDICT. Redraft: start him every week. Higgins matched Chase target for target in this one and turned it into the bigger line, which is the profile of a WR2 with weekly WR1 ceiling rather than a touchdown-dependent flex. Dynasty: hold, and make an offer if a rival is pricing him as the clear second option in this passing game. DFS: he is a cash-game play whenever Cincinnati is favored, and the salary has not caught up to the volume.
The cash-game call is the one I'd flip here. Look at the target counts: four at Miami, seven at Baltimore. That 148 came on seven balls, better than 21 yards a target, and efficiency like that doesn't repeat when you need a safe floor. His only real volume game this year is the 16 targets against Jacksonville in Week 4, and he has two scores in six games played. That reads tournament to me, not cash anchor. Happy to pay up for him in a GPP and let the field treat Sunday as the new baseline. Twenty-plus years in, I'll take targets over yards per target every time.
