Outlook Tyler Higbee

Tyler Higbee vs. Chargers — Streaming Option with Vacated Targets Available

Higbee enters Week 8 operating as the Rams' primary tight end, a role reinforced with depth tight end Colby Parkinson missing practice with a rib issue. While veteran wideout Davante Adams remains sidelined on injured reserve, opening up targets in the passing attack, Higbee has posted modest box scores lately with just six receptions for 36 yards over his previous two outings.

Our weekly projection forecasts Higbee for approximately 3 receptions and 35 receiving yards (about 8.1 fantasy points) against a winless Chargers squad. Roster trust has dropped with his start rate dipping to 10%, making the veteran a touchdown-dependent streaming play or deep-league option rather than a reliable weekly starter.
