PositiveRoleOct 30, 2026Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz
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."

George Kd has Tyler Higbee at tight end 16. Routes and role were the same as previous weeks despite usage concerns; the ball went to Kobe Parkinson and Davis Allen instead. Rams played the greatest proportion of 13 personnel in the league last week (over half snaps), and over 70% of snaps had at least two tight ends on field, so the floor is still there. However, the role is very good but Higbee is not as good as Terrence Ferguson.

The Chargers rank 24th in half PPR points allowed to tight ends at 8.8 per game, presenting a stingy test for Higbee. Los Angeles holds a top-three neutral pass rate at 63% through seven weeks, which gives the passing offense steady baseline dropbacks even in neutral scripts. The Chargers have suppressed tight end rooms consistently, with Dalton Kincaid held to 2.8 half PPR points in Week 3 and Travis Kelce managing 7.3 points in Week 6. The Rams enter as 6.5-point home favorites with an implied team total of 25.5 points (seventh).

Higbee has settled back into a low-volume role, ranking as the TE21 on TE22 usage over his last four games. After generating 67 and 83 receiving yards in Weeks 4 and 5, his opportunities slipped to four and three targets over his past two outings. He has averaged 46.5 receiving yards and 6.1 half PPR points per game across this four-game stretch, finishing with a modest 11% target share in Week 7. The Rams continue to funnel passes heavily toward their wide receivers, leaving Higbee with minimal underneath work.

After three straight strong games, Higbee has underperformed in the last two weeks as Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen have absorbed tight end production. Since Week 3, Higbee has posted 13.5% target share, 1.55 YPRR, two red zone targets, and 16.1% first-read share. The Bolts have limited tight ends to fourth-fewest yards per target and tenth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity over their last five games. The source states: 'Just when you think it's safe or advantageous to start Tyler Higbee, Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford pull the rug out from under you.' Recommendation: sit Higbee this week.

Rams (at Raiders): Davante Adams is out Puka played through his calf injury Colby Parkinson was hurt during the game but kept playing Personnel on dropbacks: 11 at 59%, 13 at 28%, 12 at 12% RBs: Blake Corum: 51% opp share, 53% rush att share, 22% route share, 14% TPRR, 67% of i10 rush att, 0% of 2min RB snaps, 33% 3rd down snap share Just my observation, but in games they are winning or think they should win, Corum gets a drive by drive split role (minus 3rd downs), which makes him an RB2 Kyr...

Higbee had 22-234-1 in his previous four games but took a backseat to Colby Parkinson (5-48-0) and Davis Allen (4-20-2) in Week 7 against the Raiders, finishing with 2-14-0 on three targets. Despite the disappointing performance, Higbee led the Rams' tight ends in routes and is still the best bet among this group for Week 8, unless Terrance Ferguson comes off injured reserve. Even if Ferguson returns and Higbee becomes the second-best option, Higbee could still be in play as a streaming tight end for Week 8.

The source expected Higbee to be the lead tight end based on target volume over the past month, but Colby Parkinson ended up being the primary option instead. The source moved Higbee down dramatically in rankings due to the Rams' three-man tight end committee (Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua, and Matthew Stafford receiving snaps). Despite initial expectations that Higbee would be the primary option, the committee approach has diminished his role and fantasy viability.
