Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins told NFL Media's Ian Rapoport that he plans on remaining with the team 'for a while' despite recent speculation that may be traded this offseason. Higgins is scheduled to become a free agent in 2024.
Footballguys view: Higgins is doing what most free agents do in stating that he never wants to leave, but this is the NFL and change is constant. We understand why he'd never want to leave, because of QB Joe Burrow and that offense. However, money talks, and Higgins is in line for a big payday this offseason. Earlier reports also suggest the Bengals could trade Higgins for a top draft pick if contract extension numbers are "outrageous and it's clear the two sides won't see eye to eye." |

Paul Dehner Jr, from The Athletic, believes the Cincinnati Bengals could trade WR Tee Higgins for a top draft pick if contract extension numbers are "outrageous and it's clear the two sides won't see eye to eye."
Footballguys view: There are huge paydays coming in the near future for QB Joe Burrow and WR Ja'Marr Chase. The Bengals may not have the money to pay Higgins in this plan as well. If the two sides are off the mark, the Bengals could see what they'd get in return for Higgins. |

Cincinnati Bengals TE Hayden Hurst ended up with four receptions for 37 yards on five targets in the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Footballguys view: Hurst had a big catch on a 3rd and 16 late in the fourth quarter to keep the Bengals chances of winning alive, but otherwise had short gains on his receptions. Hurst will be a free agent, but the Bengals should take a long look at bringing him back if he only costs 3.5 million like he did last offseason. |

Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals WR Tyler Boyd (thigh) ended up with two receptions for 40 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game in the first half, but he left the game and was unable to return after the second quarter.

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase registered six receptions for 75 yards on eight targets in the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Footballguys view: Chase had a big contested downfield catch to set up a game-tying score, but otherwise didn't have a big impact on the game. He's set to be a first round pick in 2023 fantasy drafts. |
Ja'Marr Chase player page
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins ended up with six receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Footballguys view: Higgins had a terrific contested catch in double coverage for a huge touchdown and didn't disappoint on the big stage. He'll go after his teammate Ja'Marr Chase in 2023 fantasy drafts, but deserves consideration after the top tier goes off of the board. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon rushed eight times for just 19 yards in the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he added three receptions for 15 yards on his three targets.
Footballguys view: Mixon was vultured at the goal line by Samaje Perine and didn't play nearly as big a role in the offense as he did last week, as the Bengals curiously went away from the running game that was so successful in the win over the Bills. Save for one massive five touchdown game, Mixon was a fantasy disappointment this year and will go later in 2023 drafts than his late first/early second cost in 2022 drafts. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Samaje Perine rushed five times for 22 yards and a touchdown in the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs, while adding three receptions for four yards on his four targets.

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 26-of-41 passes for 270 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he rushed four times for a team-high 30 yards.
Footballguys view: Burrow wasn't able to convert on his chance to win with a 20-20 tie on the board late in the fourth. It wasn't his best playoff performance, but Burrow did make some perfect downfield throws to Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase to make this a back and forth affair until the end. Even though it was a disappointing outcome, it's impossible to deny how bright the future is for this team with Burrow at the helm. |
