Tyler Higbee vs. Bills — Surging target volume brings streaming upside

Higbee has quietly surged in the Rams' passing attack over the last two weeks, commanding 17 targets and catching 13 passes for 129 yards and a score. With fellow tight end Colby Parkinson banged up and Terrance Ferguson sidelined on injured reserve, Higbee has re-established trustworthy chemistry with Matthew Stafford.

Facing Buffalo in what projects to be a high-scoring contest, our weekly projections forecast Higbee for roughly 3 catches and 34 yards (8.2 fantasy points). While rostered in only 6% of leagues, his recent target surge elevates him into consideration as a sneaky streaming option.

Outlook Kenny Gainwell

Kenny Gainwell at Dallas — Pass-Catching Upside in Trailing Game Script

Operating behind Bucky Irving in the Buccaneers' backfield, Kenny Gainwell could see expanded work after offensive coordinator Zac Robinson voiced a desire to get him more involved. Tampa Bay enters this matchup as notable road underdogs with starting quarterback Baker Mayfield ruled out, which should force the offense into frequent passing situations.

That script favors Gainwell's receiving profile after seeing seven targets across his last two contests. Our projection pegs him for roughly 7.5 fantasy points, translating to around five carries and two to three catches. Given his modest 11% start rate, fantasy managers should treat him as a bench stash or deep-league flex play.
