Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Dawson Knox

Friday, December 20, 5:10 PM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee, illness) has been removed from the Week 16 final injury report on Friday and will make his 2024 debut in Week 16 on Sunday versus the New York Jets. Higbee practiced in full on Wednesday and Friday and was rested on Thursday while being under the weather. The 31-year-old veteran is just now playing for the first time in 2024 after tearing both his ACL and MCL in an ugly collision in the playoffs last season. It's great news for the Rams offense as they look to stamp their ticket to the playoffs in the final three weeks of the season, but fantasy managers with everything on the line in the postseason these next two weeks shouldn't be expecting Higbee to help them out. Most likely, the Rams will ease Higbee back into the fold and he'll join a TE committee in LA that already includes Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen. Consider him a shaky TE2 streamer, at best.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox expects to share snaps and targets with fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) in Week 15 as the latter returns from injury. Knox played over 80% of the snaps in two of three games with Kincaid sidelined (the other was the snow game against San Francisco). Knox totaled seven receptions for 101 yards and zero touchdowns in those games. Josh Allen should have his full roster of receiving weapons against the Lions. That removes Knox from the tight-end streaming conversation. He should be on waiver wires for the start of the fantasy playoffs.
