Rams, Tyler Higbee Agree on Two-Year Deal

Thursday, March 5, 3:51 PM

The Los Angeles Rams and tight end Tyler Higbee agreed to a two-year, $8 million deal on Thursday, agent Erik Burkhardt told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Higbee has struggled to stay healthy the last two years, playing in a combined 13 regular-season games, but the 33-year-old veteran will return to L.A. In 10 regular-season contests last year, he caught 25 passes for 281 yards and three touchdowns on 36 targets. The 10-year-old veteran has never topped 734 receiving yards or five touchdowns in a single season since being taken in the fourth round by the Rams in 2016 out of Western Kentucky, and that's unlikely to happen in his 11th season in 2026. Higbee has plenty of chemistry with quarterback Matthew Stafford, but the Rams will likely continue to run a lot of two-tight-end sets that also include Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson. Higbee will have a limited ceiling and low floor while sharing targets with Parkinson and Ferguson again next season.

Dalton Kincaid Facing More Competition for Targets

Thursday, March 5, 5:51 PM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid had a disappointing finish to the 2025 season due to hamstring and knee injuries, and his dynasty fantasy stock continues to fall after the announcement on Thursday that the Bills traded for receiver DJ Moore. Despite playing in a career-low 12 games last year due to injuries, Kincaid had a career-high five touchdowns. However, he also finished with a career-low 39 receptions for 571 yards on 49 targets. It was revealed after the season that he played through a PCL injury that he initially suffered in 2024. Kincaid didn't play over 50% of the offensive snaps after Week 5 and missed five games down the stretch of the regular season. The 26-year-old has teased upside so far in his three NFL seasons. Kincaid should be better if he's healthier in 2026, but the addition of Moore won't do him any favors.
