All Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz insights about Tyler Higbee
PositiveRoleOct 30, 2026
Without Kobe Parkinson (questionable with rib injury) and Devonte Adams (out), Tyler Higbee could see increased targets in Week 8. If Parkinson is ruled out, Higbee moves into the tight end one conversation alongside Chicka Conqo. The Chargers defense will also be down Dur James, adding to the matchup appeal. However, Ian Hartitz expresses frustration with Rams tight ends all season and caution about overreacting to last week's poor performance: "These Rams tight ends have pissed me off all season long. If Kobe is rolled out though, I will have to swallow my pride and admit that look, just because we were wrong last week on Tyler Higbee doesn't mean I should completely hold that against him going to this week." Hartitz notes it would be "very fantasy football for Tyler Higbee to boom the week after everyone was kind of on him."PositiveRoleOct 29, 2026
Ranked tight end 18 for Week 8 against the Titans. Route rate dropped to a five-week low of 56% while Davis Allen caught two touchdowns last week; despite Allen having only six catches in the previous six games, the Rams continue to spread targets at tight end, limiting Higbee's consistency. Rams dealing with absence of Davante Adams, creating unpredictable target distribution across multiple tight ends.PositiveProjectionOct 22, 2026
Ranked tight end seven for Week 7. Over the last four weeks, Higbee has posted route rates of 77%, 76%, 64%, and 83%, with his best usage on a per-route basis coming last week despite Kobe Parkinson scoring the touchdown. Higbee has scored the sixth-most PPR points among tight ends during this stretch, averaging tight end six PPR points per game across games played. With Devonte Adams sidelined by hamstring injury, he is expected to see an even bigger full-time role. The Raiders have allowed more total points than any defense over the last three weeks. Ian Hartitz projects Higbee for top-10 tight end production this season, contingent on Terrence Ferguson remaining on injured reserve, noting the Rams didn't necessarily plan to run so much of their offense through Higbee but the injury situation has created an opportunity for sustained high-volume usage. Higbee also benefits from the Rams' favorable upcoming schedule (weeks 7-12), as the Rams are among the five teams with the best tight end matchups moving forward.NegativeUsageOct 15, 2026
Ian Hartitz ranks Tyler Higbee as TE14, noting he has scored the sixth-most PPR points among tight ends over the last three weeks. However, his route participation dropped from 76% to 64% with Colby Parkinson returning. Hartitz suggests him as a short-term waiver filler but warns that his target volume will likely fade as the Rams' offense changes.PositiveRoleOct 9, 2026
Tyler Higbee was a tight end stream target alongside Mike Jasinski, but Kobe Parkinson's likely return makes Higbee less appealing; Ian Hartitz cautions to be careful in tight end streams as Parkinson's return diminishes Higbee's upside.PositiveUsageOct 8, 2026
Ian Hartitz identifies Tyler Higbee as a viable play, noting he is one of only five tight ends with 30-plus PPR points over the last two weeks and serves as the Rams' number three pass catcher.PositiveProjectionOct 8, 2026
Ian Hartitz ranks Tyler Higbee as TE13 for Monday night against Bills. Bills defense is poor with secondary banged up: Terence Ferguson on IR and Kobe Parkinson dealing with shoulder/knee injury. Higbee has 77% and 76% route rate over last two weeks; had 8 catches, 62 yards, 1 TD with Puka Nakua out, then 5 catches, 67 yards with Nakua back. One of only five tight ends with 30+ PPR points over last two weeks. Matthew Stafford has three straight 300+ yard games. Rams have one of the top five easiest schedules for tight ends over weeks 5-10. If Kobe Parkinson and T Ferg remain sidelined, Hartitz expects to remain hyped about Higbee.NegativeDepth ChartAug 29, 2026
Tyler Higbee is mentioned as a competitor for snaps at tight end alongside Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen, creating a potential committee situation for Terrance Ferguson.PositiveUsageAug 25, 2026
Tyler Higbee is seeing rising ADP (TE20, pick 161 as of August 24th) alongside positive training camp reports. He is being utilized all over the formation and is a candidate for an every-week role, though he is currently part of a Rams tight end committee that includes Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen, both of whom have been sidelined during the preseason. Higbee missed significant time last season due to injury.NegativeRoleNo date
Tyler Higbee's role is being constrained by the return of Puka Nacua, which limits his upside. Ranked tight end 14, he posted eight catches for 62 yards and a touchdown last week despite Nacua returning and other injuries, but faces a tough matchup against the Eagles, who are top five in metrics against tight ends, making him a desperation option.
