Shemar Stewart doubtful, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins set to play Week 1

Tee Higgins should play in Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (heel) is on pace to play in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Why It Matters: Higgins is going up against a poor Bucs' secondary in Week 1 and could be a boom play in lineups. He can be a safer WR2 with the potential for a WR1 type of week.
