Part of Kaylor’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. In 2024, Higgins played in 12 games and recorded 73 receptions for 911 yards (12.5 yards per catch) and a career-high 10 receiving touchdowns. He ranked second on the Bengals (behind Triple Crown winner Ja’Marr Chase) in catches, yards, and touchdowns.
In 2025, Higgins has seven catches for 104 yards, averaging 14.9 yards per reception, with one touchdown. With Denver expected to lock reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain II on Chase, Higgins could be in line for an increase in targets.
