Tee Higgins Week 6 Outlook - Bengals at Lions

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 14th 2021, 8:17am EDT

After missing two games with a shoulder injury, Higgins returned to action in Week 5 and had 5-32-0 against the Packers on seven targets. The presence of Chase is going to tamp down Higgins' fantasy potential over the long haul, but Higgins is still an exciting young player capable of erupting at any time. Treat him as a high-end WR3 this week. The matchup against Detroit is a good one, but Cincinnati's slow offensive pace (the Bengals rank last in the league in seconds per play) and the possibility of a run-heavy game script keep our Week 6 enthusiasm for Higgins in check.
