Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Juwan Johnson

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee isn't a reliable fantasy option at the moment, but he's certainly trending upward ahead of Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran saw his snap share jump to 75 percent last week as he caught all four of his targets for 37 yards. His increased usage was partly due to him playing well, but it was also a product of Colby Parkinson (shoulder) missing the game. Parkinson is questionable for Week 3, and his ultimate status on gameday will play a role in determining Higbee's exact involvement. For now, Higbee is a low-end TE2 in fantasy football against an Eagles defense allowing the 18th-most points to tight ends.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has been one of the biggest fantasy surprises to start the season, ranking as the No. 2 tight end in PPR scoring through the first two weeks. He has totaled 13 receptions for 125 yards and a touchdown on 20 targets from quarterback Spencer Rattler. Johnson could see another busy day against the Seahawks, who have allowed 108 yards and two touchdowns to tight ends through their first two games. He is ranked as the No. 7 tight end on RotoBaller and remains a strong TE1 option.
