Will Tee Higgins Play In Week 3?
UPDATE: Tee Higgins Limited Practice Thursday
Tee Higgins Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook
Once fully recovered, Higgins will resume his role as the Bengals' No. 2 wide receiver behind Ja'Marr Chase, and he should be included in your fantasy lineups for the matchup against the Washington Commanders. Still, it's essential to approach his start with caution.
While Higgins is set to return from a hamstring injury soon and could provide a valuable boost to your team, he may be limited in his snap count as the Bengals ease him back into action.
This could affect his overall target share and production for the game. Monitor any updates on his snap count and usage throughout the week, and be prepared for the possibility that he might not play his usual full complement of snaps. Having an extra day this week does help Higgins.

Despite the risks, his potential to make an impact against a vulnerable Commanders defense makes him worth considering for your lineup.
If Higgins doesn't play, tight end Mike Gesicki and wide receiver Andrei Iosivas will continue to serve as quarterback Joe Burrow's secondary options and could be sleeper plays for Week 3.
