Tee Higgins injury update: Should fantasy managers be concerned about Bengals WR for Fantasy Football Week 9? 

Tee Higgins has been a topic of discussion for the Cincinnati Bengals ahead of their Week 9 clash against the Las Vegas Raiders. The wideout missed Cincinnati's Week 8 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles due to a quadricep injury, leading to concerns about his availability for the rest of the season.

Since Higgins is also a popular fantasy football pick, many want to know whether he will return for the Bengals' matchup against the Raiders on Sunday.

As things stand, Tee Higgins is questionable to face the Raiders. The Bengals wideout missed practice on Wednesday in the build-up to Sunday's game.

Cincinnati will hold practice sessions on Thursday and Friday before hosting Las Vegas. Bengals coach Zac Taylor has said that Higgins is day-to-day.

Fantasy managers who want to pick Higgins in Week 9 should monitor his status closely through the week before making a decision since there are some concerns over his availability. Furthermore, picking a player who is dealing with an injury is risky for fantasy managers, especially when there's no specific timeline for his return.

Higgins also missed two games at the start of the season due to a hamstring injury. However, since then, he has been a solid offensive performer for the Bengals, racking up 341 yards on 29 receptions and catching three touchdowns.

From a fantasy football standpoint, Higgins has tallied 81.1 fantasy points and is averaging a career-high 16.2 points per game.

Per reports, Higgins suffered his quad injury in Cincinnati's Week 7 win against the Cleveland Browns. He subsequently missed the Week 8 matchup against the Eagles, and his mother, Lady Stewart, wasn't too happy with the result against Philly.

Now, it remains to be seen when Higgins will return.
