Tyler Higbee vs. ARI — Surging Role in a High-Scoring Matchup

Despite being listed behind Colby Parkinson on the depth chart, Higbee is completely healthy and establishing a reliable weekly role in the Rams' aerial attack. He has generated noticeable momentum over his past two outings, securing 10 receptions on 12 targets for 150 receiving yards while working effectively over the middle.

This week's divisional matchup against Arizona presents a high-scoring game environment where our models project Higbee for 9.2 fantasy points, 3.4 receptions, and 38 receiving yards. With fantasy managers rapidly adding him off waivers over the past week, he represents a high-floor streaming option with dependable TE1 upside.

Outlook Jaleel McLaughlin

Jaleel McLaughlin vs. Ravens — Minimal Workload in Low-Scoring Divisional Battle

McLaughlin sits deep on Cleveland's backfield depth chart, though recent backfield movement—including Raheim Sanders landing on injured reserve and starter Quinshon Judkins nursing an ankle issue—could yield occasional change-of-pace snaps. McLaughlin flashed his trademark burst on a 28-yard touchdown run earlier this month, but consistent offensive opportunities remain scarce.

Facing a stout Baltimore defense in an expected low-scoring matchup, McLaughlin holds minimal fantasy value. We project him for under two carries and roughly 14 total yards, generating just 3.5 fantasy points. Rosterable primarily as deep contingent insurance, he should remain parked on fantasy benches in virtually all leagues.
