Tee Higgins Week 16 Outlook - Browns at Bengals

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Dec 19th 2024, 10:42am EST

Tee Higgins bounced back last week after a rough outing the week before. Higgins had 88 yards and a touchdown in Cincinnati's victory over Tennessee. It was Higgins' sixth receiving touchdown in eight games this season. Ja'Marr Chase has overshadowed Higgins, but the latter has often been a legitimate fantasy WR1. Higgins has averaged 14.2 fantasy points per game in Half-PPR leagues this year. That is tied with CeeDee Lamb for the seventh-most among wide receivers. He gets a favorable matchup against a Cleveland defense that plays man coverage at the second-highest rate in the NFL. Higgins has a higher target rate and YPRR versus man coverage than Chase does this year. It is not ridiculous to think that Higgins could be Cincinnati's most productive wideout in this matchup.
