Tyler Higbee vs. Cardinals — Streaming Appeal in a High-Scoring Matchup

Tyler Higbee is healthy and gaining clear momentum in the Rams' offense, catching 10 of 12 targets for 150 yards over his last two contests. While listed behind Colby Parkinson on the depth chart, recent practice limitations for Parkinson and Davis Allen could clear the way for Higbee to maintain a featured role.

Fantasy managers have responded by driving Higbee's rostership up to 29%, making him an intriguing streaming option against Arizona in a matchup with a high 52-point total. Our weekly projections call for roughly 5 targets, 3 receptions, and 32 yards (7.8 fantasy points), offering a dependable floor for tight-end-needy teams.

Kyle Monangai at Atlanta — Lingering Injuries Cloud Status in High-Scoring Matchup

Monangai sat out Wednesday's practice as he continues to nurse thumb and toe issues that previously put him in a walking boot. Listed behind D'Andre Swift in Chicago's backfield, his playing status is genuinely up in the air, making it essential for managers to check back often for updates on his availability.

Even if active against Atlanta, our projections forecast a modest 7.1 fantasy points on roughly eight touches and 35 rushing yards. Given the reinjury risk and touch competition, fantasy managers should treat him as a risky bench candidate this week rather than trusting him in starting lineups.
