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.

Kyle Pitts Targeted Nine Times

Sunday, September 24, 9:00 PM

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts surprising saw an increase in usage during Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The young tight end hauled in five of his nine targets for 41 yards in the loss. This was the first game this season that Pitts has seen more than five targets in a single game. Sadly, quarterback Desmond Ridder overthrew him multiple times during this contest. That being said, Pitts probably won't have TE1 value too often this season. He'll be a mid-range TE2 for the Week 4 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
