Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Terrance Ferguson

Thursday, October 1, 9:32 PM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee could jump to the top of the depth chart in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Terrance Ferguson (ankle) is the Rams' usual No. 1 tight end, but he suffered an ankle injury last weekend and is at risk of being sidelined for Week 4 after missing back-to-back practices. Barring a quick recovery, Ferguson is trending toward missing the game against Philadelphia, which could leave Higbee in line to lead the position group. He capitalized on Ferguson's early exit in Week 3, catching eight of 11 targets for 62 yards and one touchdown. This was Higbee's best fantasy performance since 2022, and he's a sneaky candidate to rank among the top 12 tight ends again this Sunday. His outlook will also depend on the availability of wide receiver Puka Nacua (groin), who was limited in practice on Thursday after missing two consecutive games.
