Outlook Tyler Higbee

Tyler Higbee vs. BUF — Target Surge Brings Viable Streaming Appeal in Potential Shootout

Higbee has quietly recaptured a prominent passing role within the Los Angeles offense, hauling in 13 of 17 targets for 129 yards and a touchdown over his last two games. With tight end Terrance Ferguson on injured reserve and Colby Parkinson dealing with an injury designation, Higbee has established himself as a reliable target for Matthew Stafford.

Facing the Bills in a home matchup featuring serious shootout potential, the game environment should foster plenty of passing opportunities. Our weekly projection expects around 3.2 receptions for 34 yards and 8.1 fantasy points, elevating him from waiver-wire afterthought to a worthy streaming consideration this week.
