Tyler Higbee Scores Key Touchdown In His Return

Sunday, December 22, 7:00 PM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee scored a dramatic touchdown to help the Rams get a road win over the Jets on Sunday. He finished with just one catch for 11 yards on two targets while playing limited snaps, but he took his one catch into the end zone with a leaping score that snapped a 9-9 tie in the fourth quarter. Higbee had been sidelined since tearing his ACL and MCL last year in their playoff loss to the Lions. He is expected to be the Rams' top tight end option going forward and should build up to a full workload as the Rams finish the season with home divisional games against the Cardinals and Seahawks. Still, he'll be a shaky, touchdown-dependent TE play in Week 17.

Kyle Pitts With A Single Catch In Week 16 Blowout Win

Monday, December 23, 10:37 AM

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 34-7 blowout win over the Giants. A week after catching four passes, Pitts faded into the background once again, now with one catch or less in five of the last seven games. Michael Penix Jr. targeted eight different receivers in this one, but the bulk of it was focused on the three main pass catchers Drake London, Darnell Mooney, and Ray-Ray McCloud III. If you were a Pitts manager and survived this performance, congratulations. Next Sunday brings a matchup versus Washington who has been good against tight ends this season, so the 24-year-old will be a roll of the dice again for any manager interested in deploying him.
