Tyler Higbee a Clear Waiver-Wire Target Amidst Rams' TE Injuries

Los Angeles Rams veteran tight end Tyler Higbee is firmly on the waiver-wire radar this week with both Terrance Ferguson (ankle) and Colby Parkinson (shoulder) up in the air to play in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Ferguson and Parkinson were both active for Sunday night's loss to the Denver Broncos, but they both aggravated their injuries mid-game and were pulled, leading to the 33-year-old Higbee playing a season-high 71% of the offensive snaps -- he played 20% and 26% of the snaps in the first two weeks, respectively. Higbee was heavily involved in the 30-26 loss to the Broncos, catching eight of 11 targets for 62 yards and his first touchdown of the year after catching two passes for 12 yards in the first two games of the season. Keep in mind that star receiver Puka Nacua (groin) missed a second straight game against Denver, and he could make his return in Week 4 against the Eagles. But if Ferguson and Parkinson are both out this week, Higbee will be on the TE2 short-term streaming radar against Philly. Higbee is not currently rostered in any Yahoo leagues.

Terrance Ferguson Unlikely to Play in Week 4

Los Angeles Rams second-year tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle) is unlikely to play in the Week 4 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, head coach Sean McVay told Gary Klein of The Los Angeles Times. Fellow tight end Colby Parkinson's (shoulder) status is to be determined. Ferguson, who has the most fantasy upside in a crowded Rams TE room, aggravated his ankle injury in Sunday night's loss to the Denver Broncos and only caught one of his two targets for nine yards. With both Ferguson and Parkinson aggravating their injuries mid-game, veteran Tyler Higbee took advantage -- star receiver Puka Nacua (groin) was also out for a second straight game -- catching eight of his 11 targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in the 30-26 loss in Denver. Nacua could make his return this Sunday against the Eagles, but if both Ferguson and Parkinson are out, Higbee will be on the TE2 streaming radar in the Rams' high-powered offense. With Nacua out in the Week 2 victory over the New York Giants on Monday night, Ferguson stood out with six catches on nine targets for 54 yards and a touchdown. In two-TE leagues, Ferguson is a worthy stash, even if he is inactive in Week 4.

Rams Hopeful That Puka Nacua Can Play This Week

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Monday that he is hopeful that star wide receiver Puka Nacua (groin) can play in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles after missing the last two games with a groin injury, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. Nacua tweaked his groin in practice a few weeks ago and has not practiced in close to two weeks, so he will need to return to the practice field this week to have a chance to make his return against the Eagles on Sunday, Oct. 4. Veteran pass-catcher Davante Adams has 15 receptions on 23 targets for 332 yards and two touchdowns the last two weeks with Nacua sidelined, and tight end Tyler Higbee had a big game in the Sunday night loss to the Denver Broncos. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues who are considering picking up Konata Mumpfield after his big game in Week 3 should think twice with Nacua potentially returning this week. Nacua has quickly developed into one of the most lethal receivers in the league, so when he returns, he should immediately be thrown back into all starting fantasy lineups.

Terrance Ferguson Still Worth Stashing Despite Ankle Injury

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson remains one of the more interesting Week 4 waiver options, though his ankle injury makes him a stash rather than an immediate streamer for now. Ferguson hurt his right ankle in the first quarter Sunday night against Denver and went to the locker room for X-rays. He returned to the game, then aggravated the ankle again while running after his only catch, a nine-yard gain, and was eventually ruled out. The timing is frustrating after Ferguson broke out for six catches, 54 yards, and a touchdown in Week 2. RotoBaller currently has him second among its Week 4 tight end waiver priorities, and the upside that put him there has not disappeared. The health question matters, though. Fantasy managers who need a starter immediately should have another option available, while those with bench space can still justify stashing Ferguson and waiting to see what the Rams say about the ankle this week.

Matthew Stafford's 55 Pass Attempts Lead to Mixed Results on Sunday

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 30 of his 55 pass attempts for 390 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions during Sunday's Week 3 loss against the Denver Broncos. He also rushed for 13 yards and took four sacks. There were both positives and negatives to take away from Stafford's performance on Sunday. The good news is that he racked up nearly 400 passing yards and delivered two touchdown passes, which is an impressive feat in itself but even more crazy when you consider that his top target, Puka Nacua (hip, groin), was inactive. The bad news is that he took four sacks, completed less than 55% of his passes, and had two costly turnovers in a game that ended up with a score differential of four points. Fantasy managers will ultimately be pleased with this outcome, but Stafford and the Rams will look to clean up some of the mistakes heading into Week 4 against the Eagles.

Davante Adams Continues to Excel in Top Role Despite Tough Matchup

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams caught seven of his 13 targets for 137 yards during Sunday's Week 3 loss against the Denver Broncos. Adams saw a heavy dose of Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II, and the two competed in impressive fashion all night long. Both players won their fair share of battles, but Adams and the Rams have to be pleased with his performance. Adams has spent the last two weeks operating as the Rams' No. 1 receiver with Puka Nacua (hip, groin) sidelined, and he has proven that he is still a superstar weapon in the passing game. In two games without Nacua, Adams has totaled 15 catches, 332 yards, and two touchdowns. The 33-year-old will remain a must-start receiver in Week 4 against the Eagles, regardless of whether Nacua returns to action.

Tyler Higbee the Latest Rams Tight End to Break Out

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee caught eight of his 11 targets for 62 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 3 loss against the Denver Broncos. This tight end room in Los Angeles remains incredibly unpredictable, as it seems like a different player breaks out each week. Last week, it was Terrance Ferguson, who had six catches for 54 yards and a touchdown. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Higbee replaced Ferguson as Matthew Stafford's favorite target in the tight end room. It is worth acknowledging that Ferguson did miss a portion of Sunday Night Football while being evaluated for an ankle injury, but he returned to the contest. There's plenty of value to be gained from starting a tight end in this extremely pass-heavy Rams offense, but picking the right one has proven to be an impossible challenge. Higbee is trending up, but he's far from a lock to replicate this performance in Week 4 against the Eagles.

Terrance Ferguson Wincing In Pain on Sideline Following Ankle Issue

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle) was spotted on the sideline wincing in pain prior to halftime, according to Michael J. Duarte of The California Post. Earlier in the game, Ferguson went to the locker room during the Sunday Night Football matchup with the Denver Broncos to seemingly get his ankle examined, but he was able to return to the lineup briefly. He appeared to aggravate the ankle injury that he was already suffering from, which caused him to log a limited practice session on Wednesday. However, Ferguson got in two full practice sessions to end the week and did not enter Sunday's game with an injury designation. Ferguson has recorded one catch for nine yards in Week 3 thus far. He tallied six receptions for 54 yards in Week 2.

Terrance Ferguson Returns After Injury Scare

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle) went to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, Brandon Krisztal reports. He appeared to aggravate the ankle injury that he was dealing with earlier in the week. After getting checked out, Ferguson returned with his teammates and is back in the game. The 23-year-old is expected to have a bigger role in the offense with Puka Nacua (hip) inactive for this game. Ferguson had six catches last week and should be a key pass-catcher now that he's back on the field.

Puka Nacua Will Not Play Versus Broncos in Week 3

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (hip) is inactive for Week 3's Sunday Night Football matchup with the Denver Broncos due to a hip injury, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. It will be the second consecutive game that Nacua has missed. He did not practice during the week and was designated as doubtful entering Sunday. Nacua recorded five receptions for 74 yards in Week 1 versus the San Francisco 49ers, which was his only action of the 2026 season thus far. With Nacua out, quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Rams will rely on wide receivers Davante Adams, Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, and others in the passing game.

Terrance Ferguson Sits on the TE1 Borderline in Week 3

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson went from one target in the opener to nine against the Giants last week, catching six passes for 54 yards and a touchdown. Puka Nacua (hip) was out for that game and is doubtful for Sunday night against Denver, so Ferguson could again have a larger place in the passing game behind Davante Adams. There is still some uncertainty here. One productive week is not a big sample, and Colby Parkinson (knee) is questionable rather than ruled out. Ferguson himself has no game designation after opening the week limited by an ankle injury and practicing fully Thursday and Friday. RotoBaller has him at TE13 for Week 3, which puts him right around the starting line in most leagues. Managers who are streaming the position can reasonably use Ferguson if Nacua sits, while anyone with a more established tight end does not need to chase last week's touchdown.

Puka Nacua Could Return Next Week, Surgery Still an Option

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (groin) "could return as soon as next week against the Eagles," according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Functionally, Nacua is capable of playing, but he has lacked explosiveness while recovering from his injury. Schefter notes that the Rams believe this is a short-term injury and expect to see Nacua back sooner rather than later, but at the same time, they won't rule out the possibility of surgery if he doesn't recover as smoothly as expected. There still seems to be plenty of moving parts here, and Nacua's injury status is far from straightforward. The fact that the Rams have yet to rule out surgery is quite worrisome for fantasy managers, as any sort of operation would likely lead to an extended absence for the superstar receiver. Nacua caught five passes for 74 yards in Week 1, ranked as the overall WR1 in PPR leagues last year, and is a must-start in all formats when healthy. Davante Adams has stepped up as quarterback Matthew Stafford's favorite target in Nacua's absence.

Colby Parkinson Trending Toward Playing in Week 3

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson (knee) is "trending in the right direction" to play against the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football in Week 3, according to head coach Sean McVay (via Adam Schefter of ESPN.com). The veteran tight end was officially listed as questionable entering this weekend, and it's a little surprising to hear the Rams are optimistic about his status after he missed all three practices this past week. Assuming he does suit up, he'll likely operate as the No. 2 tight end behind Terrance Ferguson once again. Parkinson has three catches for 21 yards so far, but on a more encouraging note, he has played at least 70% of the snaps in each of the Rams' two games. With that said, his role behind Ferguson will drop him outside of the top 30 tight ends in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 3.

Myles Garrett Faces a Six-Week Timeline to Return After Surgery

Los Angeles Rams superstar defensive end Myles Garrett (knee) faces a six-week timeline for his recovery after undergoing knee surgery earlier this month, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Garrett made his Rams debut back in Week 1 against the 49ers, but he was clearly playing injured, and it didn't take long for the team to place him on injured reserve. Now, it looks like he'll miss more than the minimum four games, as surgery will sideline him through at least the end of October. Losing Garrett, who had 23 sacks and three forced fumbles last season, is a crushing loss for the Rams, but their defense is equipped to handle his extended absence and continue to play well in the meantime. The Rams D/ST ranks 12th in fantasy scoring this year and will be a must-start unit once Garrett does get back in action.

Tutu Atwell Remains an Afterthought in Rams Offense Despite Wide Receiver Injuries

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell had a quiet game in his team's Week 2 win over the New York Giants, recording one catch for 19 yards on two targets. With Rams wideout Puka Nacua (groin) inactive, Atwell had a chance to step up and earn a larger role in his team's passing game. However, the 26-year-old played just 11 offensive snaps, fewer than Rams wideouts Davante Adams, Konata Mumpfield, and Xavier Smith. Atwell played an extremely limited role in Los Angeles in 2025 as well, recording six catches for 192 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets across 10 games. Even with Nacua potentially set to miss Week 3, Atwell should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.

Harrison Mevis Remains Unproven Despite Strong Offense

Los Angeles Rams kicker Harrison Mevis continues to have a very low floor heading into Sunday's Week 3 contest against the Denver Broncos. Mevis has been disappointing this season, going 5-for-5 on extra points and 0-for-1 on field goals through two games. It seemed like Mevis was a strong kicking option for this season because of the Rams' incredibly strong offense, but it's fair to wonder if the unit has been too dominant. The Rams have consistently found themselves playing around the goal line, leading to just one field goal attempt through two weeks. If Los Angeles continues to rack up touchdowns, there won't be many opportunities for Mevis to rack up points on field goal attempts. A matchup against a stronger Broncos defense could change that trend, but for now, we'd recommend avoiding Mevis in fantasy football leagues. He's the K18 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 3.

Konata Mumpfield • WR • Rams

Konata Mumpfield a Deep-League Dart Throw for Week 3

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Konata Mumpfield should take on a sizable snap share against the Denver Broncos in Week 3, but he's not a lock to get onto the fantasy radar. Mumpfield played 69% of the snaps with Puka Nacua (hip) sidelined last week, catching just one pass for 12 yards. Nacua is expected to miss his second game in a row on Sunday, leaving Mumpfield installed as the de facto No. 2 receiver. However, it remains to be seen if that will lead to meaningful fantasy production, especially since Matthew Stafford has shown a strong preference for throwing to wide receiver Davante Adams and tight end Terrance Ferguson. The projected high snap share could make Mumpfield an intriguing option in extremely deep leagues, but otherwise, he's probably worth avoiding this week. He's the WR95 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 3.

Terrance Ferguson an Emerging Option at Tight End for Week 3

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson took a huge step forward last week, and he's suddenly on the fantasy radar as a low-end TE1 option for Week 3 against the Denver Broncos. Ferguson came on strong at the end of the 2025 season, and it didn't take long this season for him to pick up where he left off. After a quiet season opener, Ferguson exploded for six catches, 54 yards, and one touchdown in Week 2. The second-year tight end was Matthew Stafford's No. 2 target (behind Davante Adams) with Puka Nacua (hip) sidelined. All signs point to Nacua missing Sunday Night Football against the Broncos, leaving Ferguson in line to handle a very large role once again. He has earned Stafford's trust and ranks as the overall TE13 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 3.

Blake Corum on the Flex Radar for Week 3

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has maintained a sizable role through the first two weeks of the season, and he remains on the RB3/flex radar for Week 3 against the Denver Broncos. The 25-year-old now has 10+ carries in each of the first two games so far, and he's averaging an impressive 6.1 yards per carry. Corum lacks receiving upside, but his dominance on the ground should make him a worthwhile fantasy option against a Broncos defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points, fifth-most rushing touchdowns, and fourth-most rushing yards to opposing running backs in 2026. Corum has jumped all the way up to RB31 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 3.

Puka Nacua Doubtful Headed Into Week 3 vs. Broncos

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is considered doubtful prior to Week 3's contest against the Broncos, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Nacua has a hip injury that kept him out in Week 2 against the Giants as well. Rams coach Sean McVay is hopeful for a Week 4 return for the talented wide receiver. Nacua was targeted nine times in Week 1's Australia game against the 49ers. He recorded five catches for 74 receiving yards. But his hip injury is a significant concern as he is set to miss his second straight week. He is one of the most talented wide receivers in the NFL but needs to return to full health before he can re-establish his connection with quarterback Matthew Stafford. Davante Adams filled in in a big way for Nacua last week, and tight end Terrance Ferguson had a nice game as well.
