Tyler Higbee News
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee found the end zone in both of his regular season games against the San Francisco 49ers, his Week 4 opponents, last season. Overall, he caught 11 passes for 93 yards and three touchdowns in three games, including the NFC Championship, against his divisional rivals. The 49ers are a tough defense, especially on opposing tight ends. They have allowed the fewest fantasy points to tight ends of any team in the league. But they were amongst the top 10 in limiting tight ends in 2021, too, and that didn't stop Higbee. Despite being overlooked going into the season, Higbee has been the Rams' second-leading pass catcher and has finished as a top 15 TE every week. Higbee's Week 4 matchup is on the tougher side, but there is a lot of variability in weekly tight end production, and Higbee could be a TE1 on any given week.
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee caught all four passes thrown his way for 61 yards in the Rams' 20-12 victory over the Arizona Cardinals Week 3. The 29-year-old closely trailed WR Ben Skowronek for the team lead in receiving yards in the Rams' 20-12 victory over the Arizona Cardinals Week 3. While he was not targeted as frequently as he was in the first two weeks, he made the most of them, compiling his highest catch rate and highest yards per reception of the season. With 10 PPR points, Higbee ranks just outside the top 12 tight ends for the week.
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee caught seven passes for 71 yards on nine targets in the Rams' 31-27 Week 2 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Higbee has now been targeted 20 times in his first two games and caught 12 passes. The 29-year-old was on the field for 98.4% of snaps and ran routes on half of those, totaling a 25.7% target share. He is on pace to meet and exceed his 2019 career high for receiving yards. His volume might decrease when Van Jefferson comes back from injury (knee), but that won't be for a few more weeks. Higbee is emerging as a reliable low-end TE1 with a good value relative to his low draft position.

Everything lined up for Higbee to be a top-10 fantasy tight end in 2021. He had Matthew Stafford replacing Jared Goff as his quarterback, and longtime tight end teammate Gerald Everett took his talents to the Seattle Seahawks, so Higbee no longer had to share his playing time and targets with him. Fantasy managers were thinking he could duplicate what he did in 2019 when he racked up four consecutive 100-yard games. Instead, Higbee turned in his second straight mediocre statistical season....
