Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Noah Fant

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.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant finished the Week 7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers by catching all four targets for 44 yards. He also scored a touchdown, his first visit to the end zone since the Week 1 meeting with the Cleveland Browns. With Mike Gesicki (pectoral) out of commission and sitting on the Injured Reserve list, Fant should continue to see the most snaps at the position for the foreseeable future. The Bengals offense looked fantastic in Week 7, totaling 33 points. However, even if Joe Flacco and company stay as hot in the Week 8 encounter with the New York Jets, Fant is still hard to trust as long as Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are in the equation. As result, the 27-year-old should be viewed as nothing more than a risky streaming option for managers in all fantasy formats.
