Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee disappointed in the team's 30-23 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Higbee caught just three of his seven targets for 12 yards. While this was an extremely difficult matchup for the 30-year-old tight end, he is well behind Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell in this offense. He has caught six passes for 61 yards over two games in 2023. Higbee is considered a low-end TE1 against the Bengals in Week 3.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee looks to improve from his Week 1 performance. With Cooper Kupp (hamstring) out, Higbee was expected to take on a much more significant role, but that wasn't the case. The 30-year-old veteran caught all three of his targets for 40 yards; however, Higbee did play a promising 91% of all offensive snaps. While he does have a difficult matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, the increased volume will be enough for him to be fantasy-viable. Puka Nacua (oblique) is dealing with an oblique injury and could be limited in Week 2, which could force quarterback Matthew Stafford to lean on the veteran even more on Sunday. Higbee is a must-start in all leagues unless you have a top-five option at tight end.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee caught all three of his targets for 49 yards in the team's 30-13 blowout win over the Seahawks on the road in Seattle in Week 1 on Sunday. It was disappointing that Higbee didn't have more looks from quarterback Matthew Stafford with receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) out due to injury, with Stafford choosing to focus all of his attention on Tutu Atwell and rookie Puka Nacua, who had a combined 23 targets, 16 receptions and 238 receiving yards on Sunday. The 30-year-old tight end could have another disappointing performance in a tough Week 2 matchup against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers, so fantasy managers should treat him as more of a high-end TE2 for that meeting.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee will be Matthew Stafford's primary target against the Seattle Seahawks with Cooper Kupp out. The veteran out of Western Kentucky has consistently been a top-10 fantasy tight end, as he still finished as the overall TE9 in 2022 despite Stafford missing half the season. Stafford is now fully healthy to start the season and will look to get Higbee involved early and often. Fantasy managers can confidently fire up Higbee in their starting lineups, as he is in a smash spot to be a top-five fantasy tight end this week.
