Questionable for Sunday Higgins (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Impact Higgins managed a pair of limited showings in practice this week as he tends to an ankle injury. Per Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, there's an expectation from coach Zac Taylor that Higgins will be available this weekend, which will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Higgins is coming off back-to-back 100-yard, one-touchdown performances, and he'll look to continue that momentum, if active, versus a San Francisco defense that has allowed 8.1 yards per target and 11 TDs to wide receivers in 12 contests this season.

Logs limited practice Higgins (ankle) returned to a limited practice Thursday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Impact After missing Wednesday's session, Higgins' return to the field Thursday has him trending in the right direction in advance of Sunday's game against the 49ers. That said, the wideout probably will need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid carrying an official injury designation into the weekend.

Back at practice Higgins (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact It remains to be seen how the Bengals list his practice participation, but Higgins' return to the field after missing Wednesday's session has him trending in the right direction as this weekend's home game against the 49ers approaches.

Misses Wednesday's practice Higgins (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Impact Per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Higgins tweaked his ankle during the Bengals' Week 13 loss to the Chargers, but the wideout downplayed the injury afterward. With an absence from practice to begin Week 14 prep, however, Higgins' status is worth tracking as Sunday's game against the 49ers approaches. A return to practice in any capacity Thursday would presumably put the wideout on track to suit up this weekend.

Not seen at practice Higgins (ankle) doesn't appear to be practicing Wednesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact He's coming off back-to-back weeks with 100-plus yards and a touchdown, despite dealing with cramping in the first game and an ankle injury late in the second one. A report after Sunday's loss to the Chargers suggested Higgins wasn't expected to miss time, but his absence from practice Wednesday means fantasy manager will need to keep tabs on the situation ahead of Sunday's game against the Niners.

Stellar numbers in loss Higgins secured nine of 14 targets for 138 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 41-22 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. He also tweaked his ankle during the contest but isn't expect...

Impact The second-year wideout was one of the few offensive bright spots for the Bengals in a disappointing home loss, and his athletic, leaping 29-yard touchdown grab midway through the second quarter kickstarted what would be an unsuccessful comeback from a 24-0 deficit. Higgins now has back-to-back 100-yard efforts after not accomplishing the feat in the first eight games of the campaign, and assuming his ankle issue is as benign as he assesses, he should be in for another prominent role in a Week 14 home interconference clash with the 49ers.

Best game of season Higgins caught six of eight targets for 114 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Steelers.

Impact Higgins finally broke the century mark in his ninth start of the year, also chipping in his first touchdown since Week 2. Ja'Marr Chase has clearly been the Bengals' top receiving option this season, but the Steelers shaded more coverage his way, opening the door for his teammate to steal the glory. Higgins has been a fringe option in standard fantasy formats this season, so he will look to gain momentum off of a season-best performance heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Chargers.

Quiet in Week 11 win Higgins caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.

Impact Tyler Boyd and Ja'Marr Chase were on the other end of half of Joe Burrow's 28 pass attempts, leaving little volume left over for Higgins. The grabs, targets and receiving yards were all season lows for the second-year wideout, and Higgins will look to bounce back to his usual level of production in Week 12 against the Steelers.

Six catches in blowout loss Higgins caught six of eight targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 41-16 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Higgins led the Bengals in receiving yards for the second consecutive game, but he still hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 2. The 22-year-old wide receiver scored six touchdowns last season and still has a prominent role in what has been an effective Bengals offense, so Higgins will remain a viable option in all fantasy formats after Cincinnati comes out of its Week 10 bye. He has 35 catches for 431 yards and two touchdowns in seven games played this season.

Just shy of century mark in loss Higgins caught four of six targets for 97 yards in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Jets.

Impact Higgins got lucky on a 26-yard catch down to New York's two-yard line in the second quarter, as the ball appeared to hit the ground but the Bengals got the next play off before the Jets could challenge. There was no doubt about his 54-yard gain in the third quarter. Both plays set up touchdowns, which were scored by Ja'marr Chase and Joe Mixon, respectively. Higgins opened the season with a two-game touchdown streak but hasn't found the end zone since. He'll look to regain his scoring touch in Week 9 against the Browns.

Production trails opportunities Higgins was targeted a whopping 15 times in Sunday's Week 7 win over the Ravens, amounting in seven catches for 62 yards.

Impact Many of Higgins's targets came early in the game, and that might have had a role in freeing up C.J. Uzomah and Ja'Marr Chase for big plays later on. Higgins hasn't yet had a big game - the 62 yards were a season-high, and he has only two touchdowns on the season. But the target share and air yards he's racked up suggest a big game is coming soon.
