Tee Higgins not expected to play in Week 3

ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting Bengals WR Tee Higgins (shoulder) is not expected to play in Week 3.

Fantasy Impact: Higgins is dealing with a shoulder injury that afforded him a doubtful designation for Sunday’s AFC North divisional bout at the Steelers. While there may have been some hope, Higgins was never really expected to be out there if you read into practice reports. With Higgins likely down, look for Ja’Marr Chase to operate as the No. 1 receiver for the Bengals with Tyler Boyd playing the slot. Chase has scored in back-to-back games and popped for 100+ yards in Week 1. Though the Bengals could heavily emphasize the run through Joe Mixon on Sunday, look for Joe Burrow to take some deep shots to Chase as the Pittsburgh defense is bruised and beaten on the injury front in their own right.
