Tyler Higbee News
Friday, July 17, 9:13 AM
Playing in only 10 games in 2025, Los Angeles Rams veteran tight end Tyler Higbee caught 25 passes for 281 yards, which was good enough for second among the team's position group. But even in the league's tight end-heaviest offense, that's not enough to keep him in the fantasy conversation for 2026. Last year's second-round pick Terrance Ferguson is expected to see an expanded role after picking up steam late in his rookie season, and Los Angeles spent another second-round pick on Ohio State's Max Klare in the 2026 NFL Draft, adding further depth behind presumed starter Colby Parkinson. Through 10 seasons played entirely with the Rams, Higbee has accumulated 27 touchdowns and almost 4,000 receiving yards, but he has dealt with numerous injuries in recent years and has not had a reliable fantasy presence since his TE9 finish in 2022. He is currently RotoBaller's TE40 and not a player of whom much is expected in 2026.

Dawson Knox News
Friday, July 10, 10:45 AM
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox signed a new three-year extension with the organization this offseason. It was a bit surprising to see the Bills commit to a three-year deal with Knox, but it goes to show how much they value him on this roster. Knox is coming off a decent season in 2025. He recorded 36 receptions, 417 receiving yards, and four touchdowns across 17 games last season. Those aren't bad numbers for someone who is stuck behind Dalton Kincaid on the depth chart. The expectation is that Knox will continue being the primary backup tight end in Buffalo. He should be considered a touchdown-dependent TE2 while Kincaid is healthy. Dynasty managers who don't have a ton of depth at tight end should consider stashing Knox. The 29-year-old is capable of making plays when given the chance, but unfortunately, his opportunities are limited.
