Holy. #WhoDey

CINCINNATI — Tee Higgins is used to playing in the shadows of Ja’Marr Chase. After all, that’s why he signed his four-year, $115 million extension with the Bengals in March 2025, sitting right next to his playing partner.

Even on Sunday, when Higgins had six receptions for 148 yards and a touchdown, sparking the dead offense in a 35-13 comeback win over the Baltimore Ravens, the story of the day was Chase’s halftime speech.

To be clear, Higgins does not care about that attention. He doesn’t need the cameras. He’d mostly prefer to avoid them.

But six games into the best season of his career, he’s no longer the star in the shadows. He’s becoming the show.

After Sunday’s showcase, Higgins has 33 receptions for 571 yards and two touchdowns this season. His 95.2 yards per game average ranks fifth in the NFL and is on pace to blow past his previous career high of 77.9.

He’s on pace for 1,617 yards this season. His previous high is 1,091.

Higgins is aware of the stats and season paces. He enjoys chasing them, but he’s keeping them in perspective.

“I think about all that, 1,400, a lot of touchdowns, catching every ball, but sometimes that don’t happen,” Higgins said. “I got a guy next to me that’s going to be a Hall of Famer. I go out there and do what I have to do for the team.”

Lately, that has meant taking the lead. Two of the five biggest yardage games of his career have come this season. So, it’s no wonder that the objective seemed obvious as Joe Burrow unleashed his second-half avalanche on Sunday: Find Tee Higgins.

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! ITS NFL SEASON! Whether your team is still undefeated (wtf Vikings) or winless (wtf Chargers), what better way to enjoy your football but with a side of more football?

The International Simulation Football League (ISFL) is a free (no pay elements at all), community run sim league where you create your own professional football player and guide their career from pre-draft hopeful to championship contender. Go through real drafts, join teams managed by real users, and fight for a chance to hoist the Ultimus Trophy. The league has been going strong since 2016, and the upcoming offseason is a great time to jump in as part of the next rookie class. A very bare bones way to describe our league is its a cross between an RPG and fantasy football, with a healthy serving of an online community.

What does that actually look like?

You'll start by creating a player on our portal; with 30+ position and archetype combinations available, there's a lot of room to build something that fits your style. Want to be a ball hawk safety? A receiving back? A strong legged kicker? Go for whatever sounds the most fun.

Once your player is created, GMs from our developmental league teams will start scouting you for the DSFL Draft. From there, your player competes in games simulated in Draft Day Sports Pro Football 2021 and streamed on our YouTube channel five nights a week, Monday through Friday, with live commentary on Discord. Each season runs about 6 weeks including playoffs, followed by a 2 week offseason capped off by the DSFL and ISFL drafts.

Over the course of your career, you'll earn skill points by spending about 15-30 minutes a week on optional activities; things like predicting game outcomes, responding to fun prompts, or mocking the first round of the draft. You can also earn league currency through your player's contracts or by creating content like articles, graphics, or podcasts. Use it to upgrade your player or collect trading cards of other ISFL players. The league is completely free; no pay-to-win, no hidden costs, nothing to unlock with real money.

What about the community?

With 22 teams across the developmental and pro leagues, the ISFL is home to an active, welcoming group of people who enjoy getting a bit nerdy about football. You'll form bonds with your teammates, dig into stats and league history on our wiki, play fantasy football with yours and others' players, and have a community to chat with daily. It's as much a hangout as it is a football league.

Is rumour true? I wonder what would be the price? I'm not sure if I see the Bengals outbidding someone

What do we have to go in the next 4 weeks for you to feel comfortable with where the team is at?
11/01: Home vs Titans
11/08: Madrid vs Falcons
11/15: Home vs Steelers
11/23: @ Commanders
3-1 would be great but realistically I think knowing this teams it’s gonna be 2-2. #WhoDey

Contract year. Final year of his rookie deal.

What do we think of him? His performance this season? His role?

From my perspective he isn’t anything special - good back who gives a pass outlet to Burrow. He isn’t anything special with his run game. His redzone work this season has been unimpressive and Perine been taking over a little on that end.

On the other hand he fits the offense and system - Burrow/Taylor love to throw and been saying that. They aren’t really looking to use Brown as a true RB. He executes his role but isn’t irreplaceable and is often forgotten with Jamar Chase and Higgins.

Just trying to figure how to value him

We haven't gotten any official update/word on his status, have we?

Bengals are signing tight end Cam Grandy off the Vikings practice squad to their 53 man roster, a league source tells @WLWT

Grandy played a role in Cincinnati in 2024 & 2025 and is now back.

Ben Solak is pretty damn good at analysis

It seems like they are preparing us for Dave stepping down. I haven't heard him on the locker room post game show. He isn't on Bengals line. They added Tomy Pike. I mean the man is 74 so it wouldn't surprise me but just wondering if anyone has heard rumors.

When the Bengals needed it most, Joe Burrow summoned greatness.

Burrow went 6 of 12 passing for 43 yards in the first half against the Ravens, his third-fewest yards before the break in his career. Even on a day when Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson watched in street clothes, the Bengals looked dazed and confused. Was this going to be the same old Bengals once again? All talk, no proof?

Then Burrow announced his arrival into the MVP conversation. In the second half, he led five drives for five touchdowns, completed 16 of 18 passes for 249 yards, tossed four touchdowns to four different receivers and put up a fitting 158.3 passer rating.

"Best quarterback in the league, he proves it time and time again," said tight end Mike Gesicki.

Joe Burrow is now 6-7 vs the Ravens in his career, including the playoffs. Ravens fans never mention the playoff game in his record vs them

One of the 7 losses he didn’t even finish the game. He left early with the wrist injury and we’re going to count that against him? When they had the lead at the time?

Joe Burrow now has four games with 4+ touchdowns vs the Ravens over his career.

Do you guys think the second half of the ravens game shows that Zac Taylor is being way too conservative at times and holding this Ferrari level offense back?
