Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee had another solid outing in the team's 29-23 win against the Indianapolis Colts. The 30-year-old recently got a new contract and immediately led the team in targets in Week 4. Higbee caught five of his 11 targets for 64 yards, including a 33-yard catch to end the first half. After a slow start to the season, Higbee has caught 10 passes on 16 targets over the last two games and is finally showing his fantasy value. He should be treated as a mid-range TE1 while facing the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught four of his five targets for 56 yards in the Thursday Night Football win over the Green Bay Packers. It wasn't a massive boom performance for the rookie tight end, but it should keep fantasy managers in PPR leagues afloat ahead of the full Week 4 slate. LaPorta has seen at least five targets in all of his contests, which is more than can be said about a large chunk of the available tight ends on the waiver wire. He is a must-start in all matchups after being the fantasy TE2 through the first three weeks of the season.
