From the article

In Week 6, Higbee had a 78 percent route share while fellow tight end Colby Parkinson had a 53 percent route share. Higbee's fantasy value was already up significantly since Ferguson went down-he had hit double-digit PPR points in three straight games before a clunker last week in Arizona. Now, with Adams out, Higbee is effectively the No. 2 option in an offense that leads the league in passing attempts six weeks in.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Higbee's 78% route share and double-digit PPR streak position him as immediate Adams replacement.

Higbee had a 78 percent route share in Week 6 while Colby Parkinson had 53 percent, positioning him as the de facto tight end in the Rams' multi-tight-end packages. He's a better route runner than Ferguson and has a more diverse route tree than Parkinson. Higbee's fantasy value has already spiked significantly since Ferguson went down, hitting double-digit PPR points in three straight games before Week 6. With Adams out, Higbee is effectively the No. 2 option in an offense that leads the league in passing attempts through six weeks.
