Alright, let’s talk about Tee Higgins. I’ve been tracking this guy for a while now, and I wanted to share my experience and what I’ve learned about his fantasy football performance, especially heading into Week 17.
First off, I started digging into Higgins’s recent games. What I did was look at his performance over the last six games. Man, he’s been on fire, scoring five times in those six games! That’s huge for fantasy. Each time he scored, I made a note of it. He actually ended up in the top 20 fantasy wide receivers in five of those games. I listed each game and his ranking, just to keep track.
- Game 1: Top 20
- Game 2: Top 20
- Game 3: Top 20
- Game 4: Top 20
- Game 5: Top 20
- Game 6: Didn’t make the cut, but still scored
Then, I focused on Week 17 specifically. I checked his status for the game against the Denver Broncos. Initially, he was marked as questionable, which had me a bit worried. I kept an eye on the injury reports all week.He was limited in practices because of knee and ankle issues. I documented each day’s practice report, noting his participation level.
Practice Reports
- Monday: Limited
- Tuesday: Limited
- Wednesday: Limited
- Thursday: Questionable
- Friday: Still Active
After that, I tried to figure out if he was a good start for my fantasy lineup. I compared him with other players, looking at their stats and expert advice. There are so many experts out there, and I went through at least a hundred different opinions. It was a lot of reading, but it helped me get a good sense of where Higgins stands.
I also thought about trading him. I looked up his trade value and what other fantasy managers were saying. Some were tired of him, but then there were talks about him potentially having a top-12 season. This guy’s got a lot to prove, playing on the tag. I gathered all these different viewpoints and made a pros and cons list.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Potential top-12 season, something to prove, high yardage potential
- Cons: Inconsistent, injury concerns, playing on the tag
Finally, I looked at his overall performance without Ja’Marr Chase. In five games without Chase since 2022, he had 31 catches and 511 yards. That’s an average of 102 yards per game! I listed these stats out, game by game, to see if there was a pattern.
- Game 1: X yards
- Game 2: X yards
- Game 3: X yards
- Game 4: X yards
- Game 5: X yards
In the end, I decided that Higgins is a solid WR1 choice. He’s got the potential to really boost your fantasy team, especially if he keeps up his scoring streak. But, it’s important to keep an eye on his injuries and practice reports. It’s a bit of a gamble, but one that could pay off big time. I am comfortable taking Higgins in the 3rd round. I hope my notes help you make your decision!
