Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Dallas Goedert

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) returned after missing six straight games due to an ankle injury and delivered his best game of the season in Week 18's win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Higbee caught five of his six targets for a team-leading 91 yards and a touchdown. The 33-year-old's previous highest yardage total was 40 yards back in Week 6, and it marked his most yards in a game since his nine-catch, 94-yard, two-touchdown performance back in Week 16 of the 2022 season. It was great to see Higbee back and healthy, and he looks like the top tight end option for the Rams moving into the playoffs, although Colby Parkinson had a great game as well with two touchdowns.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Washington Commanders, according to the team. The Eagles are resting key starters in this one, including Goedert and quarterback Jalen Hurts. Other big names will probably be on the sidelines, too, so fantasy managers still playing for something shouldn't be looking to the Eagles for production on Sunday. The Eagles will hope that the 30-year-old Goedert will be closer to 100 percent for the wild-card round of the playoffs next week. With Goedert out against Washington, Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson will step into larger roles with Tanner McKee running the offense. Through 15 games in 2025, Goedert had one of the best seasons of his career, catching 60 passes for 591 yards and a career-high 11 touchdowns.
