WR · Cincinnati · 2026 outlook
Tee Higgins scored 11 receiving touchdowns on 98 targets in 2025, pairing that total with a modest 16.1% target share.
Touchdowns carried Higgins' 2025 fantasy line. He scored 11 times in 15 games while catching 59 of 98 targets for 846 yards. At 14.3 yards per catch, his receptions regularly moved the ball, but a 60% catch rate left a fair amount of volume unconverted. The larger warning is his 16.1% target share. That is a modest slice for a receiver ranked this highly, making his production more dependent on scoring than the profiles built around heavier shares. Cincinnati still gave him enough valuable chances to reach 11 touchdowns, yet that result shouldn't hide the thinner target foundation beneath it.
For 2026, Higgins receives a friendlier schedule than several receivers in tier 5. Cincinnati rates 4 of 5, an easy receiver draw, and has its bye in week 6. Consensus places him overall 36 and WR20, which is 5 spots ahead of his average draft position. That difference creates some room for the touchdown-heavy profile to cool without making the pick expensive. Still, his buyers should know what they're choosing. His recent production rests on 98 targets and a 16.1% share, supported by 11 scores. If the scoring changes, 59 catches and 846 yards provide a more ordinary base than his ranking may imply.
There's no sound basis for assuming a repeat. Higgins scored 11 times on 98 targets in 2025, so touchdowns formed an unusually large part of his value. His 16.1% target share and 59 receptions give managers a clearer view of the workload underneath that scoring.
A 16.1% share is modest for the consensus WR20. It means Higgins had fewer opportunities than receivers whose value rests on heavy volume. His 14.3 yards per catch and 11 touchdowns compensated in 2025, but both need proper weight when assessing the profile.
Yes. Cincinnati's receiver schedule rates an easy 4 of 5, with a week 6 bye, and the consensus ranks Higgins 5 spots above his average draft position. The favorable setup supports his tier 5 cost, though it doesn't guarantee another 11-touchdown season.
