Tee Higgins making his 2024 Bengals debut on MNF is a huge boost for fantasy football teams

Fantasy football teams, rejoice! Tee Higgins is back.

If your fantasy football team has been struggling in the last two weeks, worry not.

One of the best wide receivers in the NFL is making his season debut on Monday.

Cincinnati Bengals superstar Tee Higgins will return from injury on Monday Night Football, which is a massive boost to any starting lineup that needs more punch at wideout or in one of the flex spots.

While Higgins shares receptions with fellow superstar wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, he figures to factor heavily once again into the Bengals’ passing attack.

Against a vulnerable Washington Commanders defense, Higgins could make a splash in his 2024 debut. Your fantasy team should benefit from here on out if Higgins is on the roster and stays healthy.

Fantasy Football Market Report: Week 3

The top risers and fallers heading into Week 3.

We’re only two weeks into the season and there are already a couple teams that fantasy managers should want nothing to do with – the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos. Just two games in, many of us have seen enough.

When critical injuries mount as the season goes on, more teams will likely be added to this poisonous list of teams you want to avoid having any of their players in your fantasy lineups.

49ers place Christian McCaffrey on IR

CMC will miss the next four games while on Injured Reserve.

Updating an ongoing story, San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf, Achilles) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list on Saturday, Sept. 14. He is eligible to return in Week 6 at the Seattle Seahawks.

Fantasy football advice: After days of speculation, McCaffrey was placed on IR ahead of Week 2 action, which saves the team a game he was scheduled to miss anyway. The four-week absence means RB Jordan Mason will man the primary role of the backfield, and we could see a hint of RB Isaac Guerendo sprinkled in. However, after Week 1’s utilization, look for FB Kyle Juszczyk to get more opportunities than the rookie. Stash CMC as long as it takes, and be diligent on the waiver wire if you were unable to secure the services of Mason.

Fantasy Football Market Report: Week 2

The top risers and fallers heading into Week 2.

Week 1 is always a big equalizer. For those who lose, a roster that appeared unbeatable suddenly looks vulnerable – those with Christian McCaffrey or Puka Nacua on their rosters are already apoplectic.

The good news is that if fantasy managers don’t panic, they will find out what sort of team they will have by the end of September – good, bad, or meh. However, for those off to a bad start, it’s hard to find solace.

ALERT: Christian McCaffrey is INACTIVE

Make sure to get CMC out of your lineups tonight.

In a surprise move, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (calf, Achilles) will not play tonight, contrary to reports from just a couple of days ago that said he would see a full workload.

Backup running back Jordan Mason is expected to start and see a large share of the touches. Look for more rushing from WR Deebo Samuel, and rookie running back Isaac Guerendo could see a handful of carries, too.

Mason is worthy of an RB2/flex start, whereas Guerendo is a dice roll for a desperate gamer looking for a TD flier. If you can’t play either of those backs, there’s a chance Braelon Allen from the New York Jets is still on your wire, and he could see a couple of touches behind Breece Hall.

Week 1 Fantasy Football Market Report

The top risers and fallers heading into Week 1.

During the season, we have real-time numbers to base decisions on stock rising and falling for players. Heading into Week 1, all we have to go on is where players were ranked and the investment needed to get them on rosters. Some players seem to be rated too low for their potential, while others are asking for a lot of faith that they can reach their ceiling.

For this week only, fantasy football risers and fallers are based on their ADPs and preseason rankings.
