Outlook Tyler Higbee

Tyler Higbee vs. Chargers — Low-end streaming appeal with vacated targets up for grabs

Operating as the Rams' primary tight end, Tyler Higbee continues to command a steady role over the middle of the field. With wide receiver Davante Adams recently landing on injured reserve, extra targets are available in the passing game, potentially lifting Higbee after modest box scores over his last two outings (six receptions for 36 yards).

Our weekly projection places Higbee at 7.5 fantasy points, forecasting roughly three catches for 32 yards against a winless Chargers squad. While his fantasy start rate has cooled to around 14%, he offers a stable PPR floor for managers streaming the tight end position in deeper formats.
