Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Tommy Tremble

Los Angeles Rams veteran tight end Tyler Higbee and veteran right tackle Rob Havenstein will both be back with the team in 2025, according to head coach Sean McVay. There were questions as to whether the Rams would keep either player after coming off recent injuries and heading into the last year of their respective deals. Even though Havenstein is expected to be back, The Athletic's Jourdan Rodriguez expects the Rams to target a right tackle in the upcoming NFL draft. Higbee, 32, had surgery on his knee and shoulder last offseason that forced him to miss all but three of the team's regular-season games in 2024. In his three games, he caught eight of 12 targets for 66 yards and two touchdowns and added 12 catches on 15 targets for 112 yards and a TD in two playoff games. With receiver Cooper Kupp likely to be traded this offseason, Higbee could be a sleeper TE to target in fantasy this fall.

The Athletic's Joe Person reports that the Carolina Panthers have placed tight end Tommy Tremble (back) on the PUP list. Tremble underwent back surgery in May, from which he's still recovering, but the team can remove him from the list at any time. It was always presumed that the 25-year-old would begin his ramp-up at the end of July, and that remains the case. Carolina's offense could be a surprise source of fantasy output in 2025 if third-year signal-caller Bryce Young can sustain the gains he exhibited to close out last season. If that's the case, Tremble could continue to build off his improvements, too. He's currently an afterthought in drafts.
