Tee Higgins signs tag, expected to be at Bengals training camp
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins signed his franchise tag over the weekend, according to multiple reports.
What It Means
Higgins is reportedly now expected to show up for training camp in July. However, according to Adam Schefter, a long-term deal between Higgins and the Bengals is "still considered a longshot." Higgins missed five games due to injuries last season and set career-lows with 42 catches for 656 yards and 5 touchdowns. The Bengals don't have any proven options in the passing game behind their top two receivers, so if Higgins can stay healthy in 2024, he should have plenty of opportunities to bounce back in what will likely be a contract year.
Higgins is currently the WR20 in numberFire's preseason fantasy rankings. Our models project him for 82.6 receptions, 130.0 targets, 1,080.3 yards, and 7.27 touchdowns during the regular season.
