If Higgins Misses Time
Next man up: Colbie Young
Colbie Young is next on the Bengals depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Higgins misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Joe Burrow would lose one of his main options.
