Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Chig Okonkwo

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.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo remains a consistent target for quarterback Cameron Ward heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Houston Texans. Okonkwo has 12 targets and nine catches over his last two games, ranking as the overall TE9 in PPR leagues during that span. The Maryland product is both a reliable outlet for Ward and a strong candidate to pick up extra yards after the catch. He's less appealing around the goal line, as he hasn't scored a touchdown this season and has just six scores through 54 career games. Nevertheless, he has shown that he can have some low-end fantasy value even when he's not breaking into the end zone. That should remain the case this week against the Texans, who have ranked near the middle of the league with the 14th-most receptions and 13th-fewest fantasy points allowed to tight ends. Okonkwo is a top-18 fantasy tight end with top-12 upside.
