Who Should I Start? Logan Thomas or Tyler Higbee

Friday, September 29, 2:42 PM

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (concussion) has been cleared to play in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday after he cleared the league's concussion protocol this week. Thomas suffered a concussion in Week 2 and sat out the Week 3 blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills, but he will return as the team's top pass-catching tight end this weekend. The 32-year-old has six catches on 11 targets for 65 yards and one touchdown through two games in 2023. The oft-injured tight end could be a sneaky tight end sleeper play in deeper fantasy leagues against Philly in a game in which the Commanders are probably going to have to air it out.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (thumb) "got his thumb banged up a little bit" in the Week 4 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts, according to head coach Sean McVay. Higbee was questionable going into Sunday's win over the Colts with an Achilles injury, but he ended up suiting up and caught five of a season-high 11 targets for 64 yards. The 30-year-old has yet to find the end zone in the first four games, but he's been respectable as a low-end TE1 for fantasy managers with 16 receptions on 26 targets for 196 yards as the TE9 in half-PPR scoring. His thumb injury shouldn't cause him to miss the Week 5 meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday. However, the impending return of receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) is inevitably going to take valuable targets away from Higbee.
