Tyler Higbee A Low-End TE1 For Week 3

Saturday, September 23, 9:07 PM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee will look to get back on track after two underwhelming weeks to start the season. Despite Cooper Kupp (hamstring) being out, Higbee has accounted for a mere 10% team target share and is the overall TE24 through the season's first two weeks. Puka Nacua, Tutu Atwell, and Kyren Williams have all out-targeted Higbee and seem to be the centerpieces of the offense with Kupp out. The 30-year-old tight end should still be rostered, but you should temper expectations for him in the team's Monday night matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Jonnu Smith A Co-Starter Heading Into Week 1

Tuesday, September 5, 9:01 PM

The Atlanta Falcons have tight end Jonnu Smith listed as a co-starter alongside Kyle Pitts on their depth chart as they prepare to face off against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. Smith is embarking upon his first season with the team after spending the past two years with the New England Patriots. It is unlikely that Smith will see enough work to become fantasy-relevant as a fifth or sixth option in what is expected to be a run-first Falcons offense in 2023.
