Tyler Higbee Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Friday and has been removed from the final injury report. Higbee will be active for Wild-Card weekend on Saturday against the Carolina Panthers after he was limited in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday. The 33-year-old missed six games due to an ankle issue that landed him on Injured Reserve, but he was able to return in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals. Higbee played 64% of the offensive snaps in his return while catching five of his six targets for 91 yards and a touchdown. It was a nice first game back, and he could see more time on the field this weekend if rookie Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) cannot play. The impending return of receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is bad news for Higbee, though. Consider him a touchdown-dependent TE1 on Wild-Card weekend against Carolina.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) was listed as a limited participant again in practice on Wednesday, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Higbee missed six games while on Injured Reserve with an ankle injury before he was activated and played in the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. The 33-year-old veteran played 64% of the offensive snaps and caught five of his six targets for 91 yards and a touchdown. While Higbee saw fewer snaps than fellow TEs Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen, it was, all in all, a very successful return. The Rams are likely just managing Higbee's ankle this week, and he should be active on Saturday to face the Carolina Panthers in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs. Higbee could be on the field more this weekend for a high-scoring Rams offense, putting him in play as a low-end TE1 option in fantasy playoff formats.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on the team's estimated injury report on Tuesday, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Higbee is managing an ankle injury that caused him to miss six regular-season contests. The 33-year-old veteran came off Injured Reserve to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals, though, and he played 64% of the snaps on his way to catching five of his six targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in his first game back. Higbee should be fine to suit up for the Wild-Card playoff game on the road against the Carolina Panthers after not suffering a setback with his ankle injury. The Rams also have Colby Parkinson and rookie Terrance Ferguson (hamstring), and they are expected to get receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) back after a three-game absence. View Higbee as a touchdown-dependent, low-end TE1 in fantasy this weekend.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) returned after missing six straight games due to an ankle injury and delivered his best game of the season in Week 18's win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Higbee caught five of his six targets for a team-leading 91 yards and a touchdown. The 33-year-old's previous highest yardage total was 40 yards back in Week 6, and it marked his most yards in a game since his nine-catch, 94-yard, two-touchdown performance back in Week 16 of the 2022 season. It was great to see Higbee back and healthy, and he looks like the top tight end option for the Rams moving into the playoffs, although Colby Parkinson had a great game as well with two touchdowns.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after the team activated him from injured reserve on Saturday. The veteran tight end is returning from a six-game absence. Prior to his injury, he had caught 20 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns through nine games. Higbee and Colby Parkinson should lead the Rams' tight end room on Sunday with Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) inactive.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is expected to play in the team's Week 18 matchup with the Cardinals. Higbee has not played since a Week 11 win over the Seahawks, but he was a full practice participant this week as his ankle injury appears to have healed in time for one last tune-up game before the NFL playoffs. Given the long absence, Higbee is a difficult fantasy play for teams still competing for Week 18 championships. Rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson (hamstring), who has scored in back-to-back games, was downgraded to doubtful ahead of the divisional matchup, and with Davante Adams (hamstring) a long shot to return this week, Higbee could become a necessary piece near the goal line. That said, fantasy managers who have made it this far likely have more reliable options at hand.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 18 matchup versus the Arizona Cardinals. Higbee remains on Injured Reserve, but he had his 21-day practice window opened on Wednesday. He has been a full participant in practice and appears to be ready to play, barring any setbacks. It's unclear how much Higbee will actually play, as the Rams might be trying to save him for the postseason. The 33-year-old might see limited reps to shake off some of the rust before the playoffs begin if he's active. If Higbee returns, it'll impact the playing time of Colby Parkinson, Terrance Ferguson, and Davis Allen for Sunday's game. Even if Higbee is active, fantasy managers should be looking to avoid him.

The Los Angeles Rams have designated tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve. Higbee was placed on IR after sustaining an ankle injury in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks, but he will now return to practice and will have a chance to return for the regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 18. Before his injury, the 33-year-old played a limited role in the Rams' offense, catching 20 of his 30 targets for 190 yards and two touchdowns in nine games. Colby Parkinson benefited the most from Higbee's absence, totalling 24 receptions for 249 yards and four touchdowns over the past six games. Higbee should step back into the TE1 role when he returns, though the emergence of Parkinson and rookie Terrance Ferguson could impact his playing time. UPDATE: Higbee was a full-go in Wednesday's practice.

Head Coach Sean McVay said that the Los Angeles Rams will not activate tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) from injured reserve for Monday night's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Higbee was placed on injured reserve due to an ankle injury he sustained in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks. The 32-year-old was eligible to return to play in Week 16 but will remain on injured reserve. Before his injury, Higbee had hauled in 20 catches for 190 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 30 targets. In his absence, Colby Parkinson has stepped into the TE1 role for the Rams offense and has been a reliable streaming option for fantasy managers. With a playoff spot secured, the Rams will want to make sure Higbee is fully healthy before rushing him back into action.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) will remain sidelined for the team's Week 16 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, per Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Higbee was placed on Injured Reserve following Week 11 due to an ankle injury. Across nine games before getting hurt, the 32-year-old had recorded 20 receptions for 190 yards and two touchdowns on 30 targets. The Rams operate with one of the deepest tight end rooms in the NFL, as all three of Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson, and Terrance Ferguson have played at least 15 offensive snaps in every game since Higbee went down. Parkinson has stepped up as the leading receiver of the group, recording six touchdowns over his last five games. With Higbee sidelined and Rams wideout Davante Adams (hamstring) potentially out as well, Parkinson could be a viable streaming option at the tight end position for fantasy managers in Week 16.
