Fantasy managers who drafted Tee Higgins as the 12th wide receiver off the board weren’t expecting a Week 1 concussion issue after only two catches and 27 yards. With concussion protocol rules and how a player individually progresses, his status for Week 2 has been uncertain all week. Will Higgins play in Week 2? Here’s the latest we have.

Tee Higgins was deemed questionable versus the Cowboys
According to ESPN’s Field Yates, WR Tee Higgins (concussion) is officially listed as questionable for the Cincinnati Bengals’ Sunday game versus the Dallas Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
The Bengals have a fortunate road matchup versus a now-undermanned Cowboys team missing QB Dak Prescott. With a potential lopsided game at hand, the Bengals’ passing attack could be cast aside, but should he play, Higgins could still have a chance to smash with a favorable CB2 matchup. If he misses, WR Tyler Boyd becomes the next man up, a very capable WR on his own.

Higgins suffered a concussion in Week 1, if he can play in Week 2, he has WR2 upside against a Cowboys team that was just 23rd against fantasy wide receivers in Week 1.
