Bengals' Tee Higgins (shoulder) not expected to play Week 3
Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) is not expected to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3.
What It Means:
Higgins had a confusing week of practice where he did occasionally take the field, but had been labeled as doubtful early on. He's trending towards sitting out Week 3 but will hopefully return as early as Week 4.
Higgins' absence should allow fantasy managers to feel better about starting Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd, despite the Bengals' low passing volume to start the season. FanDuel has set their salaries at $5,900 and $5,600 respectively, while our models project them for 12.6 and 10.1 points.
