Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) is uncertain for Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, per head coach Zac Taylor.
Taylor acknowledged that it will be "tough" for Higgins to play on a short week. It would be a second straight absence after Higgins missed Sunday's 30-27, Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans. Tyler Boyd led the Bengals in catches (8) and targets (12) while turning in his first 100-yard game of the season. Trenton Irwin saw an uptick in snaps and scored a touchdown on 4 targets. Boyd and Irwin should benefit again on Thursday if Higgins is unable to play.
The Ravens are allowing the sixth-fewest FanDuel points per game to wide receivers while the Texans are allowing the 12th-fewest, so the Bengals' receivers will have a tougher matchup in Week 11. Higgins is averaging an inconsistent 7.3 targets per game this season and a middling 1.37 yards per route run.
