Tyler Higbee Headed for Minimal Production Despite Majority Snap Share?

Saturday, September 13, 1:35 PM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee is headed for another sizable snap share in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans, but his target share and overall productivity are far less certain. Higbee played 58 percent of the offensive snaps last week, and Los Angeles routinely rolled out two-tight end sets. However, he was not targeted in the victory. Furthermore, Los Angeles shared the wealth as Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen were both on the field for more than one-third of the offensive snaps, too. It's possible that we see a tight end committee for the rest of the season in Los Angeles, and rookie Terrance Ferguson should join the mix with Parkinson (shoulder) doubtful to play. With too much uncertainty here, all Los Angeles tight ends, including Higbee, can be left on waivers in redraft leagues.

David Njoku Hoping for More Work in Week 2

Friday, September 12, 9:39 PM

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku will head on the road to take on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2. Njoku turned in a quiet performance in a Week 1 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, catching three of his six targets for 37 yards to finish fifth on the team in receiving. He also had to contend with third-round rookie Harold Fannin Jr., who had a strong pro debut, pulling down seven of his nine targets for 63 yards. Despite Fannin's solid debut, Njoku should still continue to operate as the Browns' top tight end going forward. That puts him on the map as a low-end TE1 in fantasy leagues heading into the weekend.
