Chris Rodriguez vs IND — Goal-Line Upside in Favorable Script
Rodriguez continues to serve as the direct backup behind Bhayshul Tuten in Jacksonville's backfield rotation. In prior weeks, he demonstrated utility as a goal-line specialist, carving out short-yardage work and occasional series to spell the starter. With the Jaguars entering as heavy home favorites against a struggling Indianapolis squad, game flow could easily tilt toward a run-heavy approach that keeps Rodriguez involved.
Our weekly projection sits at 7.0 fantasy points, estimating roughly 7 carries for 34 rushing yards with minimal involvement through the air. Given that he is rostered in just 21% of leagues and started in 4%, Rodriguez remains a touchdown-dependent bench option in standard formats, though deep-league managers hunting a goal-line plunge can stash him.

Tyler Higbee vs. Chargers — Clear Path to Snaps in Cross-Town Battle
Operating as the Rams' top tight end, Higbee enters this home matchup with secure snap volume as fellow tight end Colby Parkinson has been ruled out with a rib injury. Matthew Stafford should look his way underneath, though Higbee aims to rebound from a modest two-game stretch where he totaled just six catches for 36 yards.
Our weekly projection slots Higbee for approximately 3 catches and 35 yards, generating around 8 fantasy points in PPR formats. Fantasy managers have grown cautious, with his start rate dipping into single digits, but the tight positional depth chart keeps him viable. Facing a winless Chargers squad where the Rams are solid favorites, Higbee is a reasonable deep-league streaming play with touchdown-dependent upside.
