Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Tommy Tremble

Wednesday, October 29, 2:24 AM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has worked his way back onto the fantasy radar after a quiet start to the season. The veteran has 10 targets, seven catches, 59 yards, and one touchdown over his last two games, solidifying his role as the Rams' top tight end over Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson. He has capitalized on the impressive efficiency of Los Angeles' passing offense this season, led by Matthew Stafford. The quarterback and tight end have maintained a solid rapport despite the presence of several weapons on offense, including Puka Nacua (ankle) and Davante Adams. While Higbee's upside is highest with Nacua sidelined, he can still be a solid TE2 option if the star receiver returns for Week 9 against the Saints. Moving forward, Higbee will continue to warrant consideration as a top-24 tight end in fantasy football.

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble hasn't done much for fantasy managers this season. While he had five catches (eight targets) for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Week 4 loss to the New England Patriots, he has been nearly irrelevant from a production standpoint. Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) is listed as questionable heading into the Week 6 meeting with the Dallas Cowboys, so there's a chance he won't be out there once again. Sure, the potential for added involvement should increase Tremble's fantasy potential. Still, even if Sanders remains sidelined, fantasy managers will be taking a gamble by rolling with the 25-year-old as their starting tight end for the favorable matchup with the Cowboys. especially with Xavier Legette in the mix.
