TYLER HIGBEE NEWS

Makes pair of catches Higbee (hip) secured two of five targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 27-20 win against the Colts.

Impact The hip injury Higbee suffered on Thursday didn't seem to bother the Rams' top tight end, as the veteran enjoyed a season high in targets while seeing his typical usage among the Rams triumvirate of tight ends. Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen combined for just three catches for 17 yards on their three targets, leaving Higbee as the top option at tight end for the Rams. That role still doesn't translate to much from a fantasy perspective, although a 49ers defense that allowed rookie Brenton Strange and former Ram Hunter Long to combine for a solid 9-68-1 line is next up for the Rams on a short week.

Garners active status Sunday Higbee (hip) is active for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Colts, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The veteran tight end had put in a full session Wednesday before apparently suffering a hip injury in Thursday's practice and then missing Friday's session, an absence head coach Sean McVay termed a veteran rest day. Higbee indeed will be in uniform Sunday and attempt to get more mileage of his No. 1 tight end role, which thus far this season has only netted a 4-37-0 line on six targets over three games.

Status in question for Sunday Higbee (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Colts, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact After Higbee showed up on the injury report Thursday as limited due to a hip issue, coach Sean McVay said Friday that it isn't a concern, and that the tight end was slated for a veteran rest day, per Grosbard. Nevertheless, Higbee's status is worth confirming ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff along with position mate Colby Parkinson (shoulder), who also is listed as questionable.

On track to play Rams coach Sean McVay said Friday that Higbee's hip injury isn't a concern, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact It sounds like Higbee may avoid a game designation on the final injury report. He was added to the report Thursday as a limited participant, but McVay isn't worried about the tight end's availability for a matchup with the Colts this Sunday

Dealing with hip injury Higbee was limited at Thursday's practice due to a hip injury, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Higbee has received at least a 50 percent snap share in all three of the Rams' games this season, but with just four catches (on six targets) for 37 yards and no touchdowns to date, he doesn't hold much sway in terms of fantasy. Fellow TE Colby Parkinson (shoulder) also had a cap on his reps Thursday, which leaves Davis Allen and Terrance Ferguson as the current healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Blanked by Eagles Higbee failed to secure either of his targets during Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Eagles.

Impact The veteran tight end has now sandwiched two goose eggs around a four-catch performance Week 2, and while his spot atop the depth chart at tight end seems secure, that role still doesn't appear to have any fantasy value. The only tight end to catch a pass against the Eagles was Davis Allen, who gained just three yards on the play, and Colby Parkinson didn't even see a target aimed his way. No matter the breakdown in usage for the Rams' tight ends, they will continue to remain difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, even with a Colts defense that allowed a generous 5-66-0 receiving line to Chig Okonkwo coming to town next Week 4.

Four catches in Week 2 Higbee recorded four receptions on four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 33-19 win over the Titans.

Impact Higbee didn't see a target in Week 1, but he finished third on the team in opportunities in Sunday's win. He was particularly involved early in the contest, as three of his four receptions came on the Rams' first three offensive possessions. Puka Nacua and Davante Adams will dominate targets in the offense, leading to a relatively unpredictable role for Higbee on a week-to-week basis.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Invisible in victory Higbee played 35 snaps on offense during Sunday's 14-9 win against the Texans.

Impact For the first time since a Week 9 contest against Green Bay in 2023, the veteran tight end was held without a catch, and failed to even see a target from Matthew Stafford. Higbee was on the field most out of the team's tight ends (35 of 60 snaps versus 29 for Colby Parkinson and 22 for Davis Allen), but Parkinson and Allen recorded catches and Allen scored what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown in the third quarter. It'll be hard to trust any tight end for the Rams in fantasy given the amount of attention Puka Nacua, Davante Adams and Kyren Williams command for the offense, and a Week 2 contest against a Titans defense that held the Broncos' tight ends in check last week doesn't bode well for a potential rebound.

May be challenged by rookie The Rams spent a second-round pick on TE Terrance Ferguson, who some scouts have compared to Higbee, per Tyler Greenawalt of Rams Wire.

Impact The comparison makes sense if talking about Higbee as a draft prospect back in 2016, at which point he was carrying 249 pounds on a 6-foot-6 frame and mostly valued for pass-catching potential. It doesn't fit as well when discussing the current version of Higbee, listed at 255 pounds and valued for versatility. He's proven capable of taking on significant receiving workloads when needed, including during last season's playoffs, but it's never been something that coach Sean McVay prefers to do. With Ferguson competing for TE snaps and Davante Adams a probable upgrade on Cooper Kupp at wide receiver, Higbee appears unlikely to draw more than four or five targets per game, if that, in 2025. His bet shot at fantasy value would entail Adams or Puka Nacua missing time while Ferguson fails to earn a role.

McVay: 'Full expectation' is Tyler Higbee and Rob Havenstein are back in 2025 Rams head coach Sean McVay on Monday said both tight end Tyler Higbee and offensive lineman Rob Havenstein are expected to return in 2025.

MARCH 3 • THERAMS.COM

Remaining in L.A. for 2025 Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Higbee will remain with Los Angeles for the 2025 season, the final year of his contract, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Impact McVay said the same of veteran offensive tackle Rob Havenstein, calling the Rams' offense "different" when both veterans are healthy and on the field. Higbee missed all but three of Los Angeles' regular-season games in 2024 while working his way back from offseason knee and shoulder surgeries, most notably recovering from an ACL tear sustained during the 2023 season's playoffs, but the 32-year-old tight end managed to impress once back in action. In two postseason games against the Vikings and Eagles, he secured 12 of 15 targets for 112 yards and a score. With Matthew Stafford's return, and Cooper Kupp still looking unlikely to be retained for 2025, Higbee could be facing increased opportunities on offense behind star wideout Puka Nacua.
