Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Dallas Goedert

Tuesday, September 16, 1:37 AM

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.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) practiced again Thursday, boosting his chances of suiting up against the Rams in Week 3. Goedert was sharp in the opener, hauling in all seven of his targets for 44 yards while serving as a reliable option in Jalen Hurts' short-to-intermediate passing attack. While his involvement in practice is encouraging, fantasy managers should still monitor his status heading into the weekend, as he remains officially questionable. If active, Goedert profiles as a steady TE1 option in PPR formats given his target volume.
