Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Mo Alie-Cox

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (chest) exited the NFC Wild Card game against the Minnesota Vikings early due to a chest injury. Head coach Sean McVay said the veteran was spitting up blood on Monday and was sent to the hospital. However, Higbee traveled home with the team and is expected to play in the NFC Divisional Round against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 32-year-old missed the team's first 14 regular season games due to a knee injury before coming back to haul in eight receptions for 66 yards and two scores in three games to close the season. On Monday, he caught all five of his targets for 58 yards before leaving the game in the first half. Los Angeles is clearly looking to get him involved in the offense, but the Eagles allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends in 2024, meaning he's drawing a tough matchup for DFS or fantasy football purposes.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (toe) is officially active for Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The 31-year-old has appeared in 15 games this season, catching just 12 passes for 147 yards and one touchdown. He remains off the fantasy radar given his reduced role in a tight end room that also features Drew Ogletree and Kylen Granson.
