Tee Higgins (shoulder) cleared for Bengals in Week 5
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) will play in Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers, per head coach Zac Taylor.
What It Means:
Higgins is set to return from his two-game absence. He totaled 118 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 10 catches (18 targets) in the first two games of the season. Higgins' return should help Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense as a whole, but it will also likely cut into the target shares of Tyler Boyd and Ja'Marr Chase.
Higgins is the WR18 in numberFire's Week 5 fantasy rankings and he has a $6,700 salary on FanDuel this week. Our models expect him to lead the Bengals with 8.3 targets on Sunday and to score 12.1 FanDuel points. The Packers defense is ranked 14th against the pass in our adjusted team rankings.
