Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Jonnu Smith

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (hip) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Higbee popped up on the injury report on Thursday due to a hip issue. Despite that, head coach Sean McVay doesn't believe the hip injury is a concern. McVay said that he expects Higbee to suit up for this weekend's contest. The 32-year-old hasn't done much on the field this season. He has four receptions for 37 yards through the first three games. It's probably best if Higbee is on the fantasy bench even if he's active for Week 4.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith (hip) is questionable for Sunday's Week 4 matchup with the Vikings, to be played in Dublin, Ireland. Smith played a full allotment of snaps in the team's Week 3 win over the Patriots, but popped up on the injury report this week. After missing Wednesday's practice, he was a limited participant on Thursday and Friday, signaling that things are trending in the right direction. If Smith is unable to play on Sunday, Pat Freiermuth becomes an interesting fantasy option against a Vikings defense that has been the third most favorable matchup for tight ends through three weeks. Outside of the heavy usage of running back Jaylen Warren, the Steelers' passing attack has looked uninspired since Aaron Rodgers' surprise four-touchdown opener. Should Smith play, he deserves a look by fantasy managers based on the matchup alone, but there are likely better options available.
