However, Higgins had a standout performance in Week 2 against the Ravens.

In the other two games, he struggled, catching only two of 16 targets for 21 yards.

He faced difficulties in Week 3 with multiple dropped passes, raising concerns among fans.

Some fans draw parallels to Jessie Bates' contract-related struggles from the previous year.

The performance of Ja'Marr Chase, another Bengals receiver, could help alleviate Higgins' struggles.
