Tyler Higbee News
Sunday, November 1, 6:18 PM
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee caught just one of his two targets for a 14-yard gain during Sunday's Week 8 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The Rams had a solid showing on offense, but Higbee was quite disappointing. Entering Sunday afternoon, it seemed like the veteran pass-catcher was headed for a fantasy-relevant role with Colby Parkinson (rib) inactive and Terrance Ferguson (ankle) on injured reserve. Higbee did play 83% of the snaps in the victory, but he had fewer catches than Davis Allen and was generally pushed out of the spotlight due to the enormous presence of wide receiver Puka Nacua in the passing game. Los Angeles also ran the ball 27 times, leading to fewer pass attempts all around. The 33-year-old is a low-end TE2 if he remains atop the depth chart in Week 9, and he would fall off the fantasy radar entirely if Ferguson or Parkinson returns.

Jelani Woods News
Thursday, March 5, 3:45 PM
The New York Jets re-signed tight end Jelani Woods to an undisclosed deal on Thursday, according to Eric Allen of NewYorkJets.com. Woods was initially claimed off waivers from the Indianapolis Colts last August. The 27-year-old played 60 offensive snaps and 12 special teams snaps over four games with the Jets in 2025, catching just one of three targets for four yards. He missed the 2023 and 2024 seasons with Indy due to hamstring and turf-toe injuries. Woods was the 73rd overall pick in the third round by the Colts in 2022 out of the University of Virginia. He caught 25 of his 40 targets for 312 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games (two starts) in his rookie year before the injuries hit. At best, Woods will enter the 2026 campaign in New York as the TE3 behind Mason Taylor and Jeremy Ruckert. He's off the fantasy radar in all formats.
