Vacated Targets Boost Streaming Appeal on the Road in Arizona
Healthy and operating ahead of Colby Parkinson as the Rams' lead tight end, Tyler Higbee heads to Arizona after managing just two catches for 27 yards across his past two outings. Still, with star wideout Puka Nacua recently ruled out for multiple weeks, Matthew Stafford will need reliable underneath outlets to sustain drives as Los Angeles looks to extend its winning streak.
Fantasy managers have largely moved on over the past month, though roster interest is ticking slightly back up in light of Nacua's absence. Our weekly projection pegs Higbee for 8.6 PPR points and roughly 36 receiving yards. While vacated targets lift his volume floor, a projected low-scoring game with the Rams heavily favored could limit second-half passing, keeping him a touchdown-dependent streaming option.

Outlook Jordan Watkins
Emerging Deep Threat Heads to Dallas for Potential Shootout
Healthy and gaining Brock Purdy's trust on downfield throws, Watkins is fresh off catching all four of his targets for 86 yards and his first career touchdown. Although he remains listed behind Keenan Allen on a crowded receiver depth chart, top wideout Mike Evans is questionable after missing practice to open the week, potentially freeing up extra perimeter snaps.
Fantasy managers have started taking notice by pushing his roster rate to 9%, yet he stays parked on benches in nearly every format. Even with the NFC-leading 49ers entering an expected high-scoring road matchup in Dallas, our weekly projection sits at a modest 5.4 points and roughly 27 receiving yards, making Watkins a speculative stash rather than a reliable flex play.
