Tee Higgins is set to make his season debut on Monday night. Bengals coach Zac Taylor confirmed that the wide receiver is “good to go” for Week 3, per Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Higgins missed the Bengals first two games while dealing with a hamstring injury that popped up during a Week 1 practice. The receiver finally returned to practice this past week, and while he was limited, he admitted that he’s back to feeling 100 percent.
“I feel great,” Higgins said yesterday (via ESPN’s Ben Baby). “Obviously, unfortunate with the injury, sat out the first two weeks but finally ready to get my feet wet this season and ready to go.”
Higgins’ absence raised some eyebrows following an offseason where he was slapped with the franchise tag. The two sides ultimately couldn’t agree to a long-term deal, and Higgins’ sudden injury came on the heels of the Ja’Marr Chase drama. Higgins made it clear that his absence had nothing to do with his contract, noting that the injury was worse than initially feared. In fact, the impending free agent was especially motivated to take the field as soon as possible.
“That’s why I was so bummed out that it happened because it was something I focused on this offseason for it not to happen, and it did, but I’m back now so it’s cool,” Higgins said last week (via Baby).
The former 1,000-yard receiver will be counted on to provide a spark to an offense that’s scored three touchdowns in two games. With Higgins out of the lineup, the team has been especially reliant on tight end Mike Gesicki and second-year WR Andrei Iosivas, with Trenton Irwin and rookie third-round pick Jermaine Burton also garnering some extra targets.
Higgins: 4 catches, 39 yards
Commanders win 20-17
Yo, I’m liking hurts this week with smith at wr. I’m Also big into Kielce this week, just a hut feel. Not really data or anylitic based. The big thing this week is that if you are not playing stroud then it’s almost a must to play cam Akers at that price point. Even tho he’s straight up chalk. Because I’d he puts up 12 he cashes.
Anyway my lineup is gonna be something to the affect of
Hurts
Akers
Kamara as bring back, (another fantasy term meaning that I’m betting that the game shoots out so I need action on both sides)
Tank dell
One of Jefferson, lamb, or st brown
Davota smith
Kelce
Jordon whitington (wr on la rams that should fill the void left by cooper cupp and puka)
Ten defense
You can mix and match with what you think, additionally keep in mind what I mentioned to u previously that this isn’t a bout what’s the most likely scenario it’s about getting leverage on the rest of the tournament. Meaning, that let’s say 50% of the field rosters Saquan Barkley then if he hits you don’t gain any leverage on the rest of the tournament. Additionally and I can’t stress this enough, if you really feel strongly about a player go with your gut you’ll be eating yourself alive if not.
Disclaimer, this is all my opinion so don’t be angry if my (somewhat) amateur predictions don’t work out. Happy Sunday ATL!
If you win the milli maker I’m expecting at least 5k
I’m messing lol
Deal! Lmao
Does this account for FanDuel salaries? Also why titans defense? And thanks for reply!
Yes this is for fd only. I like ten defense because Malik Willis has no business being on an nfl field
