The Bengals plan to place the franchise tag on Tee Higgins.
Fantasy Impact
It will be the non-exclusive franchise tag placed on Higgins. This will give the two sides more time to come to an agreement on an extension, and it sounds like Higgins wants to return to the Bengals.
Cincinnati Bengals director of player personnel said he has a "desire" to have wide receiver Tee Higgins back on the team, though it depends on if he will return at "a number that makes sense for everybody."
Fantasy Impact
Tobin and the Bengals are in a tough spot where it is hard for them to get both Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase to return on long-term deals alongside Joe Burrow's massive contract without someone sacrificing further top-end money to do so. As a result, it seems tough for Cincinnati to be able to pull this off, though Tobin said he still desires Higgins to return. A second franchise tag still seems likely in 2025, but Higgins' offseason could be a busy one this year.
Tee Higgins caught four of his five targets for 53 yards in a 19-17 win over the Steelers in Week 18.
Fantasy Impact
Higgins left at the end of the third quarter with an ankle injury, an issue that he was nursing throughout the week leading up to the game. He finishes his 2024 season with 73 catches for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns in 12 games. If the Bengals manage to sneak into the playoffs, the status of Higgins' ankle will be worth monitoring throughout next week.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins (ankle/knee) is officially active for Week 18.
Fantasy Impact
Higgins has dealt with the injuries for a couple of weeks now and was considered questionable to play in the regular season finale. Without RB Chase Brown, the Bengals figure to feature the passing game against the Steelers.
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins was officially deemed questionable for the team's regular season closer with an ankle and knee injury.
Fantasy Impact
In what could potentially be the last regular season contest of Higgins' Bengals career (as he is a pending free agent), the WR is questionable. But with playoff dreams on the line, Cincinnati likely needs all hands on deck, so it seems likely that Higgins will be available. The former Clemson WR had a TD hat trick in Week 17's win and has five scores in his last three games.
