Higgins (quadricep) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

After injuring his quad while running a route during Friday's practice, Higgins will miss his third game of the season and his first since Week 2, when he was sidelined to begin the season with a hamstring issue. According to Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports, the fact that the Bengals are beginning a stretch of three games in 10 days factored into the decision to make Higgins inactive for Week 8, but the wideout could be ready to return to the lineup next Sunday against the Raiders. While Higgins is sidelined against Philadelphia, Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin and Jermaine Burton could step into increased roles behind No. 1 wideout Ja'Marr Chase.

Higgins (quadricep) remains listed as questionable but is not in line to play Sunday against the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins' status will be officially confirmed once the Bengals' inactive list is posted 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. In Higgins' looming absence, Andrei Iosivas, Jermaine Burton and Trenton Irwin are candidates to see increased snaps behind No. 1 wideout Ja'Marr Chase.

Higgins (quadricep) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, but his chances of playing don't appear to be promising, a source tells Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer.

EDGE Analysis

Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports echoes Conway's report, noting that Higgins faces an uphill battle to play Sunday after injuring his quad in Friday's practice. Higgins' Week 8 status will be confirmed either way once the Bengals post their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Andrei Iosivas, Jermaine Burton and Trenton Irwin could all be in store for increased snaps behind No. 1 wideout Ja'Marr Chase if Higgins is inactive for the contest.

Higgins (quad) felt better Saturday, and the Bengals are "hopeful" that the wideout will be able to play in Sunday's Week 8 clash with the Eagles, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A report earlier Saturday indicated that Higgins will be a game-time decision Sunday, and while that appears to still be the case, Fowler's report is more optimistic about the receiver's chance of playing. The Bengals don't want to risk a long-term injury to Higgins, so it's likely that they'll allow him to suit up only if he looks good during pregame warmups. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for Cincinnati's list of inactives about 90 minutes prior to the 1:00 PM ET kickoff time.

Higgins (quad) has "a real chance" of missing Sunday's Week 8 contest against Philadelphia, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins hurt his quadriceps during practice Friday and entered the weekend with a questionable tag. Graziano indicates that the wide receiver will be a game-time decision Sunday, so fantasy managers who roster Higgins should keep an eye on Cincinnati's injury report that will be released about 90 minutes prior to kickoff. Graziano also shares that there is "pessimism" about Higgins' likelihood of suiting up, and Andrei Iosivas will likely step in as the team's No. 2 wideout if Higgins ends up sitting out.

Higgins sustained a quadriceps injury during Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bengals will monitor Higgins throughout the weekend, but his status may come down to a pregame warmup ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Higgins is inhibited or unable to go, fellow WR Andrei Iosivas would be the likely beneficiary alongside top option Ja'Marr Chase.

Higgins recorded four catches on eight targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

With opposing defenses focused on holding Ja'Marr Chase in check, Higgins has taken on significant target volume since getting fully healthy. Across his last four games, he's commanded 39 total targets while seeing no fewer than seven in any contest. Higgins made the most of his chances in Sunday's win, highlighted by a 25-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter as well as other long receptions of 21, 19, and 17 yards. While he has yet to top 100 yards in a game for the campaign, Higgins does have at least 75 in each of his last three contests while recording three scores.

Higgins recorded seven catches on seven targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins led the Bengals in targets, receptions and yards in a relatively muted offensive performance in Sunday night's win. While the majority of his targets came in short areas of the field, Higgins did manage his first reception of at least 20 yards this season after a tough catch-and-run midway through the second quarter. Due to his limited route depth, Higgins will likely need to find the end zone to put up elite fantasy scores, but he now has a minimum of six targets in his four games this season to give him a very safe weekly floor.

Higgins caught nine of 14 passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

The scores were his first of the season, as Higgins hauled in an 11-yard toss from Joe Burrow in the second quarter and a five-yard strike in the third. Higgins has an 18-182-2 line on 30 targets over three games since returning from a hamstring strain that cost him the first two contests of 2024, and with the Bengals' defense struggling, he could be busy again in Week 6 against the Giants.

Higgins recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins has commanded 16 targets through two games this season, though he's yet to turn that into standout performances. He was effective for the Bengals on Sunday by tallying four catches of 10 or more yards, though his longest gain was only 12 yards. Higgins has traditionally been a deep threat in the Cincinnati offense, so his production should tick up in the coming weeks.
