Is Tee Higgins playing tonight vs. Panthers in Week 9? 

Tee Higgins and the Cincinnati Bengals have had a remarkable turnaround since starting the season 0-2. They head into Sunday just one game behind the division-leading Baltimore Ravens. Their matchup with the Carolina Panthers today is a prime opportunity to either tie the Ravens or at least keep pace with them.

The Panthers have played very well since firing Matt Rhule, including dominating Tom Brady and nearly beating the Atlanta Falcons for first place in the division last week.

The Bengals will need all hands on deck, and that includes the star wide receiver.

Tee Higgins is playing today. He has no injury designation and the Bengals aren't going to bench their top wide receiver today in a key matchup. He's dealt with concussions this year and missed some time, but he is good to go today.

The former Clemson product will line up out wide for the majority of his snaps. He may see some time in the slot, but even that is unlikely. Expect him to be out wide every single time he's on the field.

Tee Higgins Fantasy Update and Predictions

Higgins is now the top wide receiver on the depth chart with Ja'Marr Chase sidelined once again with a hip injury. As such, he figures to see a lot of volume against the Panthers' 23rd-ranked wide receiver defense.

ESPN predicts nearly 16 points in standard PPR leagues. One thing to note is that while the Panthers' defense has struggled to contain wide receivers this year, Jaycee Horn has not. The second-year corner has dealt with injuries but will play today. He's been excellent all year and figures to be covering the Bengals wideout all day Sunday.

Pittsburgh Steelers v Cincinnati Bengals

Los Angeles Chargers wideout Jorsh Palmer figures to see a lot of action today since Mike Williams is not playing. If Keenan Allen can't go, either, then he'll be Justin Herbert's top target.
