Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee had his best game of the season in Week 6 against Baltimore, catching all four of his targets for 40 yards and a touchdown. Higbee played 66% of snaps in the game, his highest since Week 2 at Tennessee, where he saw 75.4% of snaps and caught all four of his targets for 37 yards. The veteran tight end finished tied second on the team in targets after Puka Nacua (ankle) left early with an injury. He'll be a waiver wire option this week for fantasy managers in need of a tight end, especially with Nacua expected to miss some time and opportunities opening up.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Higbee will be back in action after missing Week 5 and being a limited participant in practice this week. Heading into Week 6, Higbee has six receptions for 62 yards and zero touchdowns. It's worth noting that Higbee could see increased playing time with Colby Parkinson (concussion) banged up. Despite that, Higbee hasn't done enough on the field to give fantasy managers a reason to start him this weekend.
Oct 10, 2025 6:28 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (hip) will not practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Sean McVay. Higbee played through a hip injury in the Week 4 win over the Indianapolis Colts, but then was inactive on a short week in last Thursday night's upset loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 32-year-old is still battling his hip injury and is a question mark to suit up this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Higbee still has two more days to get back onto the practice field, which would give him a chance to play this weekend. Receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams have been getting the vast majority of pass-game targets from quarterback Matthew Stafford, leaving little volume for L.A.'s tight ends. If Higbee misses a second straight game, more snaps will be available for Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson, and rookie Terrance Ferguson. Higbee has just six catches for 62 scoreless yards in his four games so far in 2025.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (hip) has officially been ruled out for the Thursday night divisional matchup in Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Higbee was listed as doubtful coming into Thursday's game after missing practice on Tuesday and Wednesday. His next chance to return on game day will come in Week 6 on the road against the Baltimore Ravens. With Higbee out against San Francisco, the Rams could go with a committee approach at tight end with Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen, and rookie Terrance Ferguson. Fantasy managers who have been streaming TEs this year should probably look elsewhere in Week 5. Higbee hasn't been much of a streamer himself through four weeks, catching only six of 11 targets for 62 yards, with receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams getting the bulk of all the targets.
Oct 2, 2025 7:06 PM EST
ESPN Rams reporter Sarah Barshop reports that Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (hip) was listed as a DNPs for the second consecutive day on Tuesday, making his status for Thursday's game against the Arizona Cardinals uncertain. If Higbee can't go on Thursday, rookie Terrance Ferguson and Colby Parkinson will be in line to get more opportunities in the passing game. However, with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams earning most of Matthew Stafford's targets, Rams' tight ends should not be started or even rostered in most league formats at this time. Higbee is leading the tight end room in receptions, yards, and targets, and through four games, he has six catches for 62 yards and no touchdowns on 11 targets.
Oct 1, 2025 10:01 AM EST
The Los Angeles Rams listed tight end Tyler Higbee (hip) as a non-participant on their estimated practice report on Monday, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Colby Parkinson (shoulder) was estimated as limited. Higbee was limited last Thursday and then didn't practice on Friday, but he still played through a questionable tag in the Week 4 win over the Indianapolis Colts and led all TEs on the team with a 55% snap share. The 32-year-old caught just two of five targets for 25 yards, though, and won't be a realistic starting fantasy TE for Thursday night's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers if he's active. Through four weeks in 2025, Higbee has caught six of 11 targets for 62 scoreless yards. He hasn't caught a pass in two of his four games and should remain a low-volume TE2 with receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams hogging most of the targets from quarterback Matthew Stafford.

Los Angeles Rams tight ends Tyler Higbee (hip) and Colby Parkinson (shoulder) are officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. Both players had been listed as questionable, and Higbee's status in particular was uncertain after he missed practice on Friday. In the end, Higbee will suit up, looking to turn around what has been a disappointing start to the season. He has just four catches so far, and all of them came in a singular Week 2 game. Meanwhile, Parkinson has two catches and a lost fumble through two games. Neither tight end should be rostered in fantasy football.
Sep 28, 2025 3:49 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (hip) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Higbee popped up on the injury report on Thursday due to a hip issue. Despite that, head coach Sean McVay doesn't believe the hip injury is a concern. McVay said that he expects Higbee to suit up for this weekend's contest. The 32-year-old hasn't done much on the field this season. He has four receptions for 37 yards through the first three games. It's probably best if Higbee is on the fantasy bench even if he's active for Week 4.
Sep 26, 2025 6:51 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (hip) was listed as a limited participant for Thursday's practice with a hip injury. The veteran logged a full practice on Wednesday, so the hip injury presumably occurred within the last 24 hours. Mid- to late-week injuries are typically detrimental to a player's game-time designation. However, considering his limited status, it doesn't seem to be that serious. Higbee has clearly led the Rams' tight end room thus far, out-snapping his next closest teammate, Davis Allen, 117-72 through three weeks. If Higbee is unable to play, Allen would be the next man up, with fellow TE Colby Parkinson playing second fiddle. Rookie Terrance Ferguson would mix in behind them both as the third option.
Sep 25, 2025 9:51 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee isn't a reliable fantasy option at the moment, but he's certainly trending upward ahead of Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran saw his snap share jump to 75 percent last week as he caught all four of his targets for 37 yards. His increased usage was partly due to him playing well, but it was also a product of Colby Parkinson (shoulder) missing the game. Parkinson is questionable for Week 3, and his ultimate status on gameday will play a role in determining Higbee's exact involvement. For now, Higbee is a low-end TE2 in fantasy football against an Eagles defense allowing the 18th-most points to tight ends.
Sep 20, 2025 11:47 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee caught all four of his targets for 37 yards during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. After occupying a relatively reduced role in the season opener, the veteran tight end was much more involved this past Sunday. His snap share jumped from 58 percent to 74 percent, and his target count jumped from zero to four. One possible reason for Higbee's emergence was the absence of Colby Parkinson (shoulder), who remains uncertain for Week 3. However, even when Parkinson returns, Higbee can have fantasy relevance. After all, the Rams are comfortable running two-tight end sets. Higbee ranks as a low-end TE2 heading into next week's clash against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Sep 16, 2025 1:37 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee is headed for another sizable snap share in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans, but his target share and overall productivity are far less certain. Higbee played 58 percent of the offensive snaps last week, and Los Angeles routinely rolled out two-tight end sets. However, he was not targeted in the victory. Furthermore, Los Angeles shared the wealth as Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen were both on the field for more than one-third of the offensive snaps, too. It's possible that we see a tight end committee for the rest of the season in Los Angeles, and rookie Terrance Ferguson should join the mix with Parkinson (shoulder) doubtful to play. With too much uncertainty here, all Los Angeles tight ends, including Higbee, can be left on waivers in redraft leagues.
Sep 13, 2025 1:35 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee remains atop the depth chart heading into Week 1 against the Houston Texans, but he's not a reliable fantasy option given the competition for targets posed by wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Higbee has a track record of lower production when he's third or lower in the pecking order. In the two games where Higbee, Nacua, and Cooper Kupp were all healthy last year, Higbee averaged just 4.8 fantasy points. Fantasy managers should expect the veteran tight end to have a similar role this year, or perhaps a slightly smaller role if Terrance Ferguson emerges as a pass-catching threat. He can be avoided in all 1TE leagues this week.
Sep 6, 2025 2:45 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams veteran tight end Tyler Higbee and veteran right tackle Rob Havenstein will both be back with the team in 2025, according to head coach Sean McVay. There were questions as to whether the Rams would keep either player after coming off recent injuries and heading into the last year of their respective deals. Even though Havenstein is expected to be back, The Athletic's Jourdan Rodriguez expects the Rams to target a right tackle in the upcoming NFL draft. Higbee, 32, had surgery on his knee and shoulder last offseason that forced him to miss all but three of the team's regular-season games in 2024. In his three games, he caught eight of 12 targets for 66 yards and two touchdowns and added 12 catches on 15 targets for 112 yards and a TD in two playoff games. With receiver Cooper Kupp likely to be traded this offseason, Higbee could be a sleeper TE to target in fantasy this fall.
Mar 3, 2025 6:15 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee suffered a catastrophic knee injury in last year's Wild Card game, but this year he had a triumphant return at the end of the season and finished the season with a big game against the Eagles. He hauled in a team-high seven catches while finishing second on the team with 10 targets. He finished with 54 receiving yards and a touchdown in the Rams' 28-22 defeat at the hands of the Eagles. Higbee had five catches for over 50 yards last week against the Vikings and scored two touchdowns in his three regular-season games. Higbee has one year remaining on his current deal and will look to be a more regular contributor all season next year. From what he showed once he came back, the 32-year-old has the potential to be a top-10 TE if he remains in the same role in 2025.
Jan 19, 2025 9:28 PM EST
According to Stu Jackson of the Los Angeles Rams, tight end Tyler Higbee (chest) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday's playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Higbee exited Monday's wild-card game against the Minnesota Vikings early. Before exiting, Higbee caught all five of his targets for 58 yards. He opened the week as a limited participant and was able to upgrade to a full participant during Friday's session. The 32-year-old made his season debut during Week 16 due to a torn ACL and MCL. Over his first four games, Higbee has scored twice and averaged 31 yards per game. He should be viewed as a low-end option in DFS formats this weekend, as the Eagles have allowed the second-fewest PPR points to opposing tight ends this season.
Jan 17, 2025 4:51 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said he expects tight end Tyler Higbee (chest) to play versus the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in a Divisional Round clash. Higbee was limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday after leaving the wild-card win over the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night with a chest injury that was serious enough to send him to the hospital. However, the 32-year-old was quickly discharged, and the Rams are optimistic that Higbee won't miss the Divisional Round tilt this Sunday against the Eagles in Philadelphia. If he can return to a full practice by Friday, he could even be removed from the final injury report for the weekend. Before hurting his chest on Monday, Higbee was being peppered with targets and caught all five of them for a season-high 58 yards. He also have five catches on seven targets for 46 yards and a TD in Week 18. Coming off his injury, Higbee will be a risk/reward, low-cost TE for DFS lineups in the Divisional Round if he's active.
Jan 16, 2025 7:28 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (chest) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Higbee's participation in practice this early in the week is excellent news for the Rams considering that the injury sent Higbee to the hospital after Monday night's game. Higbee has now played in four games this season after missing most of the regular season with a torn ACL. He is one of quarterback Matthew Stafford's favorite targets which was evidenced by his five receptions for 58 yards in Monday's victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Higbee was previously reported to be trending towards playing this weekend, but his practice participation further sheds a positive outlook on his status. The Rams face the daunting task of beating the Philadelphia Eagles in the Divisional Round this weekend. Should he ultimately play, Higbee will be a huge offensive piece for the Rams against an excellent Eagles defense.
Jan 15, 2025 6:20 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (chest) exited the NFC Wild Card game against the Minnesota Vikings early due to a chest injury. Head coach Sean McVay said the veteran was spitting up blood on Monday and was sent to the hospital. However, Higbee traveled home with the team and is expected to play in the NFC Divisional Round against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 32-year-old missed the team's first 14 regular season games due to a knee injury before coming back to haul in eight receptions for 66 yards and two scores in three games to close the season. On Monday, he caught all five of his targets for 58 yards before leaving the game in the first half. Los Angeles is clearly looking to get him involved in the offense, but the Eagles allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends in 2024, meaning he's drawing a tough matchup for DFS or fantasy football purposes.
Jan 14, 2025 2:15 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (chest) was taken to the hospital on Monday night. He is in stable condition and is expected to be okay, according to head coach Sean McVay. Higbee exited the Rams' Wild Card contest against the Minnesota Vikings during the first half, but he still managed to accumulate five receptions for 58 yards. He finished as the Rams' receiving leader and was trending toward delivering a historic performance before his departure. Moving forward, we will await updates from the Rams regarding his status and eventual release from the hospital. It's too early to speculate on his status for the Divisional Round against the Philadelphia Eagles, but given the severity of his injury, he likely faces an uphill battle to play. If Higbee can't suit up, Colby Parkinson would be the Rams' primary tight end with Davis Allen filling a complementary role.
