While it was Ja'Marr Chase who stole the spotlight as the top wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals as he won the receiving triple crown, his running mate Tee Higgins also had a respectable year. While being limited to 12 games last season due to injury, Higgins totaled 73 receptions, 911 yards, and a whopping 10 touchdowns and is being applauded for his performance by his peers.
As NFL Network has began to reveal their Top 100 players of the 2024 season as voted on by the players, and Higgins is the first Bengals player to crack the list, coming in at No. 77. Watch the video below to hear the breakdown of Higgins and his 2024 season.

One of the big three in Cincinnati along with Chase and quarterback Joe Burrow, Higgins is a vital piece to the Bengals offense, which is why the franchise worked hard to extend both their top receivers this offseason. The Bengals are a pass-first and pass-heavy offense, and with Zac Taylor running the show it'll be essential for the head coach to keep the flow between the three.
The past two seasons Higgins has been hampered by injuries, playing in just 12 games each of the last two years, but in order for the team to reach their full potential he's got to remain healthy. A full and healthy season will not only benefit the team, but could see Higgins launch his way up this list after the 2025 season.
