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.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange was drawing waiver-wire consideration after catching all four of his targets for a team-high 59 yards in the Week 1 win over the Carolina Panthers. However, he took a step back in Sunday's 31-27 Week 2 loss on the road to the Cincinnati Bengals, catching three of five targets for just 17 yards. On the bright side, the 24-year-old was Jacksonville's clear TE1, playing 90 percent of the offensive snaps. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence leaned more on receivers Dyami Brown and Parker Washington in this one, but don't overlook the fact that Strange has nine targets through the first two weeks of the 2025 season. Strange will probably continue to have up-and-down weeks, but he's been on the field enough to be considered a borderline TE1/2 in fantasy as the Jags head into a Week 3 divisional matchup against the Houston Texans.
