Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Evan Engram

Tuesday, December 16, 12:00 PM

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) will remain sidelined for the team's Week 16 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, per Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Higbee was placed on Injured Reserve following Week 11 due to an ankle injury. Across nine games before getting hurt, the 32-year-old had recorded 20 receptions for 190 yards and two touchdowns on 30 targets. The Rams operate with one of the deepest tight end rooms in the NFL, as all three of Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson, and Terrance Ferguson have played at least 15 offensive snaps in every game since Higbee went down. Parkinson has stepped up as the leading receiver of the group, recording six touchdowns over his last five games. With Higbee sidelined and Rams wideout Davante Adams (hamstring) potentially out as well, Parkinson could be a viable streaming option at the tight end position for fantasy managers in Week 16.

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram will be a tough start in Week 15 as they host the Green Bay Packers. Engram hasn't been able to provide much help to fantasy managers this season as he's had two games over 10 fantasy points in half-ppr formats in 2025, both ending in back-half TE1 finishes. Broncos tight end Adam Trautman has actually gotten the dominant snap shares for most of the season, although Engram has seen 61 targets to Trautman's 18. Shockingly, they both have the same number of touchdowns at one apiece. With Engram being a weekly dart throw at the tight end position, there are several safer options to choose from as RotoBaller ranks him at TE25 overall for Week 15.
