Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Cade Otton

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) will go on Injured Reserve, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Higbee will be forced to miss at least the next four games. The earliest he'll be available to return for the Rams will be for their Week 16 matchup against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. The 32-year-old wasn't really moving the fantasy needle much before his ankle injury, catching 20 of his 30 targets for 190 yards and two touchdowns for L.A. in nine games played (seven starts). With Higbee now out of the picture for the foreseeable future, all three of Colby Parkinson, Terrance Ferguson, and Davis Allen could see more targets, with Ferguson being the most attractive flier for fantasy managers in TE-premium leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton is looking to bounce back after posting back-to-back duds. Otton has been held to six receptions for 49 yards and zero touchdowns over his last two games. Prior to that, Otton posted a nine-catch game in Week 10. The return of Chris Godwin figures to cut into Otton's volume going forward. Also, the fact quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is banged up could impact the passing game in Week 13. Otton should be viewed on the lower end of the TE options for the upcoming matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
