Fantasy Impact:
During the 2024 offseason, Higgins requested a trade from the team — now, he is set to play on the franchise tag for a second consecutive season as the two sides continue to pursue a long-term deal. While his future in Cincinnati is difficult to predict, this heavily impacts the free agency market as he was expected to be the top earner at the position. He finished last season with 911 yards and 10 TDS in just 12 games, showing the impact he can have when healthy. This only further boosts all offensive players in Cincinnati in fantasy football as the environment remains potent (No. 6 scoring offense in 2024).
