Bengals’ Tee Higgins sets 2025 goals of 1,000 yards and at least 10 TDs

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins said this week his personal 2025 targets include 1,000 receiving yards and at least 10 touchdowns as he looks to lift his production next season. Higgins last reached the 1,000-yard mark in 2022. He finished the 2024 campaign with 846 yards on 59 receptions. The Bengals have turned attention to offseason work and will gauge progress through spring and summer.

Higgins’ statistical dip over the past two seasons has aligned with stretches of missed time. He was sidelined for a total of 10 games across the 2023 and 2024 seasons, though he appeared in 15 contests last year. Coaches have pointed to continuity as a factor, with several 2024 games coming without quarterback Joe Burrow, which affected timing and target volume in the passing game.

Yardage benchmark and touchdown aims

The 1,000-yard threshold remains a common benchmark for top receivers, and Higgins framed it as a practical objective rather than a bold prediction. Setting a floor of double-digit touchdowns offers another tangible measure, focusing on consistency and finishing drives. His stated goals provide clear markers for both individual accountability and how Cincinnati gauges red-zone effectiveness in 2025.

While he has not surpassed 1,000 yards since 2022, Higgins’ production when available underscores the potential impact of a healthy offseason. He reiterated that these milestones are straightforward targets designed to keep attention on week-to-week execution. A full complement of practice reps and game snaps would give the Bengals a more stable look at his role in the aerial attack.

Availability and quarterback continuity

Higgins managed 15 appearances in 2024 but did not consistently share the field with Burrow. That instability led to shifting receiver responsibilities and varied usage from week to week. Stabilizing personnel and practice time is a stated priority as Cincinnati works through its offseason program, aiming to rebuild rhythm across the passing game.

Bengals’ offseason priorities

Team officials have emphasized balance in roster planning. The offseason focus includes reinforcing the defense, while improved health on offense is expected to lift overall efficiency. The Bengals believe combining a sturdier defensive unit with a fully available core of playmakers would help translate individual goals into sustained results.

The Bengals will monitor Higgins’ workload through the offseason program and training camp. Developments around offensive availability and timing, alongside defensive additions, will shape Cincinnati’s outlook entering 2025.
