Tyler Higbee News
Thursday, March 5, 3:51 PM
The Los Angeles Rams and tight end Tyler Higbee agreed to a two-year, $8 million deal on Thursday, agent Erik Burkhardt told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Higbee has struggled to stay healthy the last two years, playing in a combined 13 regular-season games, but the 33-year-old veteran will return to L.A. In 10 regular-season contests last year, he caught 25 passes for 281 yards and three touchdowns on 36 targets. The 10-year-old veteran has never topped 734 receiving yards or five touchdowns in a single season since being taken in the fourth round by the Rams in 2016 out of Western Kentucky, and that's unlikely to happen in his 11th season in 2026. Higbee has plenty of chemistry with quarterback Matthew Stafford, but the Rams will likely continue to run a lot of two-tight-end sets that also include Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson. Higbee will have a limited ceiling and low floor while sharing targets with Parkinson and Ferguson again next season.

Tucker Kraft News
Wednesday, May 27, 12:59 PM
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he is "hopeful" that tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) could be back "by training camp or during training camp," per Weston Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. Kraft is currently recovering from the torn ACL that ended his 2025 season in Week 9. The 25-year-old looked to be on his way to a breakout season before the injury, recording 32 receptions for 489 yards and six touchdowns on 44 targets across eight games played. While Kraft hasn't been the highest-volume target-earner to this point in his career, his career average of 13.7 yards per reception is remarkably efficient for the tight end position. Additionally, Kraft could play an even larger role in the Green Bay offense in 2026 following the team's offseason subtractions of wide receivers Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks. Assuming Kraft remains on track in his recovery for the start of the 2026 season, he profiles as a steady fantasy TE1 with upside.
