Tee Higgins

Incredibly smooth off the LOS. Epitome of a Deep Threat receiver in the NFL. Outstanding concentration while the ball is in the air and has the best ability to track the ball while it's in the air (so far in my scouting) in this class. Improved route runner from 2018 and has an understanding of his strengths and how to sell defenders on deep routes to come back to the ball. Unstoppable on back shoulder throws or throws where he's able to utilize positioning and use his large frame to box out smaller corners. Great size/speed combination. Decent agility in short spaces and able to stop quickly and force defenders to miss tackles. Great hands in contested situations and rarely see a concentration drop. Elite ball tracking ability downfield. Great body control to make adjustments mid-stride and still maintain momentum. Has the burst to be able to pull away from defenders after making the catch downfield, but rarely see him pull away and make defenders miss in the short to intermediate areas of the field. Good release off the LOS. Not necessarily a polished release, but enough to be able to pull away from defenders giving a slight cushion. Concerns about his upper body strength and his ability to fight off NFL corners in press. But great understanding of how to create separation, whether at the beginning of the route or at the end. Good speed and enough to succeed in the NFL, but not enough to be towards the top of this class. Overall, an incredible WR with amazing deep ball tracking ability. Also has the size to be a RZ nightmare for smaller corners and was used all over the formation at Clemson. If moved into the slot and covered by a LB, he'll win that matchup 10/10 times.

Tee Higgins (hamstring) ruled out for remainder of Week 17

Tee Higgins has been ruled out for the remainder of the Bengals' Week 17 game against the Ravens due to a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact

The rookie wideout came up lame following a long catch-and-run. Higgins emerged as Cincinnati's No. 1 wideout over the course of the season, and he could be a second-year breakout candidate if Joe Burrow (knee) comes back healthy in 2021.
