Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee caught five passes for 83 yards in a Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Higbee was targeted on six passes.
Why It Matters: Higbee finished second to Puka Nacua in receiving yards on Monday night, and he is averaging six catches, 71 yards, and 0.33 TDs per game over the past three weeks. That's definite TE1 production. Of course, his long-term outlook is fuzzy as Terrance Ferguson (ankle) was the top receiving option at tight end for the Rams before he got hurt. Split the difference and consider Higbee a capable TE2 with potentially short-term appeal.
