Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Mason Taylor

Saturday, October 18, 11:56 AM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has re-emerged as a potential fantasy option heading into Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Higbee is coming off a solid showing in which he caught four passes for 40 yards and a touchdown. Furthermore, the Rams will be without Puka Nacua (ankle) on Sunday, which will put Higbee and Jordan Whittington in line to operate as Matthew Stafford's second-favorite targets behind Davante Adams. Higbee's snap share will likely remain around 60 percent, but we wouldn't be surprised to see him handle at least five targets, giving him a chance to make an impact in fantasy football. He's not a long-term solution in your lineups, but with Nacua sidelined this weekend, Higbee can be a decent streamer. For what it's worth, the Jaguars have allowed the 11th-most receiving yards to tight ends in 2025.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (quad) could not come through for fantasy managers in last Sunday's loss to the Panthers, but will look to rebound in Week 8's meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals. The LSU product tied for the team lead in receptions (three) in their 13-6 loss. Although he could only record 31 yards as New York's offense bottomed out against an underrated Panthers defense. Taylor should have increased opportunity again, as in addition to wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) being ruled out for a second consecutive contest, Josh Reynolds (hip) is in danger of missing after a late-week hip injury. While it's unclear precisely who will quarterback for New York this weekend, the rookie is at least poised for a juicy matchup. He'll slot in as RotoBaller's PPR TE15 ahead of this weekend's slate of action.
