Tee Higgins collided with Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin in Week 17, which led to the latter suffering a cardiac arrest on Monday. However, the Cincinnati Bengals receiver was glad to know that Hamlin was recovering well after the horrific incident.
Nonetheless, fans are now curious to learn whether Higgins will play in Week 18 against the Baltimore Ravens. Some wondered if the receiver was in a condition to play after having the spotlight on him during the week.
As things stand, Higgins is listed as active on the team roster and is expected to start in Cincinnati's offense for Sunday's game. He was also available in practice for the Bengals this week.

While speaking to reporters earlier on Thursday, Higgins claimed that he spoke with Hamlin's family about the incident earlier this week. He also stated that he was in a difficult place but wanted to be as professional as possible about the entire situation.
The Bengals have already clinched their AFC North division and have qualified for the playoffs along with the Ravens. Hence, this game will allow both teams to experiment with different tactics before heading into the postseason.
Tee Higgins stats and fantasy outlook for Week 18
Tee Higgins has 1,035 receiving yards on 74 receptions this season and has scored seven touchdowns. The 23-year-old is enjoying his best season in the NFL so far.
In total, he has added 147.5 fantasy points across 16 games, averaging 9.2 FPPG. Higgins has linked up well with quarterback Joe Burrow this season and has looked like one of the most promising receivers for the Bengals.
However, we suggest that you avoid picking Higgins for your fantasy team in Week 18 considering that he may still not be in the right frame of mind to play football. Instead, here are some other top receivers in the league that you can choose from:
- Justin Jefferson
- Ja'Marr Chase
- Davante Adams
- Amon-Ra St. Brown
- Tyreek Hill
- CeeDee Lamb
- Stefon Diggs
