Breaks out with pair of TDs Higgins caught five of his nine targets for 40 receiving yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 23-23 tie against the Eagles.
Impact The No. 33 overall pick from April's draft was practically invisible in his NFL debut, playing 15 offensive snaps against the Chargers but garnering zero targets. Last week at Cleveland his involvement increased drastically, as Higgins jumped to a workload of 60 offensive plays, hauling in three of his six targets for 35 yards. Week 3 marks his breakout and possible arrival as a fantasy stalwart alongside Joe Burrow, as Higgins corralled all three of his red-zone targets Sunday with two leading to scores inside the five-yard line. Now Higgins and his rookie signal-caller will face a Jaguars defense Week 4 that allowed Ryan Fitzpatrick to establish a Dolphins franchise record in completing 90 percent of his pass attempts Thursday night.

In line to start Higgins is expected to start at wide receiver Week 3 against the Eagles, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
Impact Higgins is seeing his role grow by the week, as he played just 15 snaps Week 1, but saw the field for 60 in Week 2 and received six targets in the passing game. With John Ross set to be a healthy scratch, the opportunity is there for HIggins to continue to expand his role, though he'll presumably still be working behind A.J. Green and Tyler Boyd. It's still a bit of a tough matchup, however, as the Eagles have yet to allow a touchdown to opposing wide receivers through two weeks in 2020 and are giving up the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position.

Targeted six times against Browns Higgins caught three of six targets for 35 yards in Thursday's 35-30 loss to the Browns.
Impact After playing just 15 snaps in his NFL debut, Higgins finished with the second most offensive snaps among Bengals wide receivers in Week 2 behind only Tyler Boyd. It appears he has usurped John Ross as the team's No. 3 wideout, so Higgins should be on fantasy radars heading into Week 3 against the Eagles.

No catches in NFL debut Higgins was not targeted during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Though the rookie second-rounder was largely uninvolved in the passing game during his regular-season debut, he did garner 15 offensive snaps for the afternoon. It's evident the Bengals have plans to deploy Higgins as part of the offense -- not only based the fact that he was the No. 33 overall pick in April's draft, but also because he fielded zero special-teams snaps against Los Angeles. With a strong trio of veteran receivers on the depth chart in front of him in A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd, and John Ross, the Bengals were afforded the luxury of easing Higgins into action after he was sidelined with a hamstring injury for much of training camp. The rookie's involvement may increase over the course of the season as he builds chemistry with quarterback Joe Burrow, and develops an enhanced understanding of the offensive scheme.

Returns from hamstring injury Higgins (hamstring) made a couple highly difficult catches during Monday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Impact Sidelined by a hamstring injury through most of training camp, Higgins returned to practice over the weekend and reportedly looked good Monday. A.J. Green remains absent while nursing a hamstring injury of his own, but there's plenty of competition for first-team reps alongside Tyler Boyd, with Higgins joined by John Ross and Auden Tate. It still isn't clear if the 33rd overall pick from the 2020 NFL Draft will have a regular spot in three-wide formations Week 1.

Held out of team drills Higgins (hamstring) appears to be limited to individual drills at Tuesday's practice, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.
Impact With Higgins and A.J. Green both nursing hamstring injuries and John Ross on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the Bengals could have Auden Tate and Alex Erickson running with Tyler Boyd as the starting wideouts for Joe Burrow's first padded NFL practice. The team used that same trio for much of last season, but the hope for 2020 is that the Bengals will have at least two out of Green, Higgins and Ross healthy at any given time. The rookie second-round pick figures to enter Week 1 somewhere between third and fifth on the depth chart.

Dealing with minor injury Higgins has missed some practice time with what appears to be a minor unspecified injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Impact This nugget come via fellow receiver Tyler Boyd, with the report suggesting that Higgins could return to the field by Sunday. Once he's back, the No. 33 overall pick in the 2020 draft will look to secure snaps behind top wideout A.J. Green and Boyd, who mans the slot for the Bengals. John Ross, who's also in the mix for work on the outside, is currently away from the team indefinitely after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
