Draft Note by Chris Kucharski
Week 3 at New York Jets
After getting knocked out of the Steelers game, Tee Higgins returned last week with 10 targets for six receptions, 71 yards and a touchdown against Dallas. Higgins is capable of big games any week, even if he isn't the No. 1 receiver.
Higgins faces the Jets who are ranked 22nd in aFPA to wide receivers. Against New York in 2021, he had four receptions for 95 yards. Expect another big game against a below-average Jets defense.
Start Higgins as a high-end WR2 but don't be surprised if he eclipses that expectation. Sensing a big day for him and the Bengals offense getting back on track.

Draft note
Higgins finished WR26 as a rookie and then WR18 in his second season, though he had the 14th-highest per game average. His targets rose from 6.8 per game to 7.9 per game despite the arrival of Ja’Marr Chase, so his role in the Bengals’ potent passing attack should be safe.
