Tyler Higbee Stepping Into Fantasy Relevance Ahead of Week 7?

Saturday, October 18, 11:56 AM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has re-emerged as a potential fantasy option heading into Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Higbee is coming off a solid showing in which he caught four passes for 40 yards and a touchdown. Furthermore, the Rams will be without Puka Nacua (ankle) on Sunday, which will put Higbee and Jordan Whittington in line to operate as Matthew Stafford's second-favorite targets behind Davante Adams. Higbee's snap share will likely remain around 60 percent, but we wouldn't be surprised to see him handle at least five targets, giving him a chance to make an impact in fantasy football. He's not a long-term solution in your lineups, but with Nacua sidelined this weekend, Higbee can be a decent streamer. For what it's worth, the Jaguars have allowed the 11th-most receiving yards to tight ends in 2025.

Cade Otton to Play Featured Role in Buccaneers' Offense?

Friday, October 24, 10:29 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has emerged as a more consistent feature in his team's offense in recent weeks. Over his last three games, Otton has recorded 16 catches for 197 yards on 20 targets. Given that Tampa Bay will be without wide receivers Mike Evans (collarbone) and Chris Godwin (leg) for its Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints and possibly longer, Otton could have an extended runway as one of the lead target-earners for the Buccaneers. In the three games that both Evans and Godwin missed in 2024, Otton recorded 22 catches for 193 yards and three touchdowns on 29 targets. He profiles as a low-end starting tight end option for fantasy managers in Week 8.
