Higgins added a late TD to keep the Bengals within striking distance, providing a reliable secondary target as Cincinnati attempts to sustain offensive rhythm without Burrow.

Higgins stands to benefit from more efficient passing; pairing with a veteran QB could sharpen his weekly upside.

Higgins found the end zone on a late 2-yard TD and anchored several fourth-quarter targets, reinforcing his status as a primary Week-to-week option for Browning and the Bengals in crunch-time scenarios.

Higgins provided late contributions, showing Cincinnati’s potential for back-half production even as Browning struggles. Higgins’ target opportunities could rise with a more balanced attack and improved ball handling, making him a key piece in a down but rebuildable offense.

Higgins excels versus single-high coverage and projects into a favorable matchup against a Lions defense that relies heavily on that look and is dealing with secondary injuries. Cincinnati’s likely pass-heavy game script in a potentially high-volume shootout boosts Higgins' target and red-zone opportunities.
