2023 Fantasy Outlook
Higgins is a reliable, high-end WR2 in both real life and fantasy terms. Actually, he might be more than that if he ends up somewhere besides Cincinnati, but it looks like the Bengals have no interest in giving into the trade rumors ahead of the fourth and final season of his rookie contract. A franchise tag next offseason seems likely if no long-term deal is reached, with Higgins coming off back-to-back 1,000 yard campaigns and recording at least 908 yards and six touchdowns in each of his first three NFL seasons. At 6-4, he's a regular menace on jump balls and contested catches, also showing a degree of prowess on short and intermediate passes even if he's not nearly the YAC threat that teammate Ja'Marr Chase is. In terms of fantasy upside beyond the 1,200-yard range or so, that'll probably only happen for Higgins in Cincinnati if Chase misses extended time -- a scenario that would leave the talented 2020 second-round pick as Joe Burrow's unquestioned top option.

Present for voluntary workouts
Higgins took part in the Bengals' voluntary offseason workout Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Prominent players in contract years often skip the voluntary portions of offseason programs and sometimes the mandatory parts as well. Higgins' decision to do otherwise in the final year of his rookie deal suggests he's optimistic about signing an extension or doesn't mind playing out the season without one. He's been mentioned in trade rumors for a while due to the expectation of quarterback Joe Burrow and receiver Ja'Marr Chase signing extensions that take up a big chunk of Cincinnati's budget, but it wouldn't be all that complicated for the Bengals to keep all three players, especially if they're willing to backload the cap hits and/or make sacrifices on the defensive side of the ball.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
Overshadowed by rookie phenom Ja'Marr Chase much of last year, Higgins eventually caught
fire down the stretch and recorded his first 1,000-yard season despite missing three games. He
narrowly missed that mark as a rookie, providing the Bengals an instant return on the 33rd
overall pick. Higgins didn't test well out of college — he skipped drills at the combine and then
put up a 4.54 40 and 31-inch vertical at his pro day — but he's quickly proven that his prolific
college stats (2,103 receiving yards, 25 TDs his final two years) weren't just a product of
favorable circumstances at Clemson. Higgins doesn't have the issues with fluidity and change-
of-direction that plague many wideouts his size, and the poor vertical jump hasn't seemed to
matter when it comes to contested catches in the NFL. He was efficient as a rookie (62.0
percent catch rate, 8.4 YPT) and took another step forward in Year 2 (67.3 percent, 9.9 YPT),
benefiting from his own progress as well as QB Joe Burrow's. Higgins even led the team in
targets per game, with 7.9 to Chase's 7.5, and in the playoffs he added 309 yards and two TDs
(both in the Super Bowl) in four games. The only drawbacks, really, are his lack of elite speed
and the reality that he won't be the go-to guy unless Chase misses time. It's nitpicking,
especially after the Bengals made big offseason moves to upgrade their offensive line.
