Tyler Higbee Emerging as an Option in Fantasy?

Wednesday, October 15, 12:12 AM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee had his best game of the season in Week 6 against Baltimore, catching all four of his targets for 40 yards and a touchdown. Higbee played 66% of snaps in the game, his highest since Week 2 at Tennessee, where he saw 75.4% of snaps and caught all four of his targets for 37 yards. The veteran tight end finished tied second on the team in targets after Puka Nacua (ankle) left early with an injury. He'll be a waiver wire option this week for fantasy managers in need of a tight end, especially with Nacua expected to miss some time and opportunities opening up.

Juwan Johnson News

Has Juwan Johnson's Role in the Saints Offense Shrunk for Good?

Wednesday, October 15, 12:17 PM

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson recorded season lows across the board against the Patriots, catching just two passes on two targets for 15 yards. He also lost a fumble in the fourth quarter during the Week 6 loss. This marked his second straight game with only two catches, and his snap share fell to a season-low 71%. Johnson's decline coincides with the returns of fellow tight ends Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau, which will continue to eat into his opportunities. While he's worth holding onto if production increases, he can be left on the bench for now.
