The Cincinnati Bengals are 0-3 after entering the season hoping to return to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in franchise history, two years after their last participation. While the history of 0-3 teams suggests that the Bengals have little chance, there’s enough skill on the offensive side of the ball to persuade yourself otherwise.
The problem is, the Bengals offseason has been marred by coaching departures, injury concerns, a drastic change to Joe Burrow’s hair, and a roller coaster ride of an offseason for wide receiver Tee Higgins.
Higgins made his 2024 season debut last Monday night against the Washington Commanders in unspectacular fashion, and will look to find his form this Sunday as the Bengals host the 1-3 Panthers. But before fantasy football managers bank on a Tee Higgins bounce back game, they should take into consideration what Higgins himself is saying about his fantasy stock.

Now before any fantasy football managers panic too much, this could be read two different ways:
- In the midst of an 0-3 start, Tee Higgins remains fed up with the Bengals after a tumultuous offseason that included a franchise tag and a trade request.
- Tee Higgins doesn’t have time for the B.S. of a random fan whose fantasy football team means nothing to him
What fantasy managers should be more concerned about than Tee Higgins’ comments is his possible role in the Bengals offense as he works off the rust after missing the first two games of the season due to a hamstring issue. Higgins was targeted just six times last Monday night, catching three passes for 39 yards.
