Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Pat Freiermuth

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.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth finally broke through for fantasy purposes in Week 7 with 111 yards and two touchdowns and will hope to stay involved in a Sunday night bout with the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay has surrendered the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, so while at least one of Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith, or Darnell Washington could deliver, it is tough to predict who. It was encouraging to see Freiermuth log a 65% snap share last week, but fantasy managers would be wise to take a wait-and-see approach before inserting him into starting lineups. The fifth-year pro checks in as the TE25 in RotoBaller's Week 8 rankings.
