Tyler Higbee Not a Primary Option for Season Opener

Saturday, September 6, 2:45 PM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee remains atop the depth chart heading into Week 1 against the Houston Texans, but he's not a reliable fantasy option given the competition for targets posed by wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Higbee has a track record of lower production when he's third or lower in the pecking order. In the two games where Higbee, Nacua, and Cooper Kupp were all healthy last year, Higbee averaged just 4.8 fantasy points. Fantasy managers should expect the veteran tight end to have a similar role this year, or perhaps a slightly smaller role if Terrance Ferguson emerges as a pass-catching threat. He can be avoided in all 1TE leagues this week.

Tucker Kraft Plays Majority Of First-Team Snaps in Preseason Opener

Sunday, August 10, 12:27 AM

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft played the majority of snaps on the Packers' first two series in the Green Bay preseason opener against the New York Jets. While Kraft didn't earn a target from quarterback Jordan Love, he played on 10-of-12 offensive snaps per Nathan Jahnke of Pro Football Focus. Kraft's night was over after the first-team offense left the field after the second drive. Kraft's second NFL season was excellent with 50 receptions, 707 receiving yards and seven touchdowns while playing in all 17 games. As the clear top tight end on the Packers in 2025, Kraft's services can be procured in fantasy for a mid-round pick and could provide massive benefits if he can take a leap in production this season.
