Is Tee Higgins Playing Today? Fantasy Football Injury Update For Week 7

Is Tee Higgins healthy or injured? Should I start him for Week 7 fantasy football? Read the latest fantasy football injury news for Higgins.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has dodged and battled injuries this season while still producing solid numbers when healthy. Although he is the No. 2 option behind Ja'Marr Chase in Cincinnati's passing attack, Higgins has carved out a sizable role for himself, delivering big contributions in both the NFL and fantasy football.

Unfortunately, as Week 7 gets underway, Higgins' availability could be up in the air once again. The third-year wide receiver is dealing with another injury, this time to his ankle.

Is Tee Higgins Injured or Playing in Week 7?

Higgins opened the week as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. However, he upgraded to a full participant on both Thursday and Friday.

As a result, when the Bengals distributed their final injury report on Friday afternoon, Higgins had been removed. He does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game and therefore, barring a setback, will suit up versus the Atlanta Falcons.

Tee Higgins Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 7

Higgins has been a threat whenever healthy. Over the four games in which he played at least half of the Bengals' offense snaps, the 23-year-old totaled 24 catches, 345 yards, and two touchdowns. He averaged 17.63 fantasy points over those four contests.

With a clean bill of health and a sizable role in the Bengals' flashy, pass-heavy offense, Higgins is poised to shine in Week 7. He's going up against an Atlanta secondary that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to receivers. Furthermore, Pro Bowler A.J. Terrell will likely cover Chase, perhaps prompting Joe Burrow to look Higgins' way even more often.

With all this in mind, fantasy managers should be chomping at the bit to start Higgins in Week 7. He should be viewed as a strong WR2 option with tremendous upside once again this Sunday.
