Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Dallas Goedert

Friday, November 15, 9:30 PM

According to Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay, tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) is still "a couple weeks away" from making a return to the field. ESPN's Sarah Barshop reported the news. The 31-year-old veteran suffered a torn ACL and MCL in last season's wild-card loss to the Detroit Lions and has been on the PUP for all of 2024 thus far. While teammate Colby Parkinson had led the TE room for most of the year, it appears that second-year tight end Davis Allen has begun to take over those honors in recent weeks -- leading his positional cohorts in snaps since Week 9. With Higbee still working his way back from injury, Allen will have a few more weeks to cement himself as the team's preferred option. Fantasy managers can continue to steer clear of the Rams' tight end room for now.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12 on Sunday night. The 29-year-old has finished as a top 12 fantasy option the past two weeks since returning from injury and should see an increased target share with No. 2 wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) ruled out. The matchup with the Rams is great, as they allow the seventh-most fantasy points per game to tight ends and will have their hands full trying to slow down Saquon Barkley and the Eagles run game. Receivers Jahan Dotson and Johnny Wilson will see their roles increase as well, but they have not shown anything special in 2024 and Goedert is averaging six targets per game in ones he has not left early due to injury. Fire up the veteran with confidence in Week 12.
