Rapoport didn't have a lot more details about the injury, nor did he have a specific timeline. But, he did point out the Bengals are at the Cardinals and home against the Seahawks the next two weeks before a Week 7 bye. It's possible Higgins isn't back until after the team's bye, which is a Week 8 game at the 49ers. Boyd should see a bigger role with any time Higgins has to miss.

Bengals WR Tyler Boyd could miss a week or two after dislocating a finger on his right hand in Sunday's win over the Browns, but it shouldn't be an extended absence, per source. Healing, and pain tolerance will dictate when he returns.

The two Trents seemed to be the biggest beneficiaries of Tyler Boyd's early exit but Tee Higgins also logged a single snap, so it's hard to tell exactly who was filling in for who. Either way, Boyd can be safely dropped if he's still on your fantasy roster.

The Bengals have won three in a row and reinforcements are on the way. Source says the plan is for star WR Ja’Marr Chase (hip) to return this week. He was close last week and is expected to go this week vs. the Chiefs.

Higgins has made the most of his WR1 role, particularly these last two weeks when he went 16-262-1. Chase can plug right back into a fantasy WR1, while Higgins can operate as a fringe top-12 option in a possible shootout against the Chiefs.
