Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Will Dissly

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee caught all four of his targets for 37 yards during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. After occupying a relatively reduced role in the season opener, the veteran tight end was much more involved this past Sunday. His snap share jumped from 58 percent to 74 percent, and his target count jumped from zero to four. One possible reason for Higbee's emergence was the absence of Colby Parkinson (shoulder), who remains uncertain for Week 3. However, even when Parkinson returns, Higbee can have fantasy relevance. After all, the Rams are comfortable running two-tight end sets. Higbee ranks as a low-end TE2 heading into next week's clash against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly struggled his way through a rough loss in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs against the Houston Texans. Dissly was targeted five times, making two catches for 16 yards total. He dropped a pass while completely wide open and also was unable to catch a rather easy pass that he batted and turned into an interception instead. Dissly came on as a solid and reliable high-floor fantasy tight end in the second half of the season, but he was almost solely responsible for a 14-point swing in the most important game of the season for the Chargers. Dissly signed a three-year deal before the season, so he should be expected back with the Bolts, but they'll likely look for a more traditional pass-catching tight end either in free agency or in the draft.
