Sean McVay said TE Tyler Higbee is "a couple weeks away" from returning from a torn ACL and MCL.

Related Players: Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen

It's hard to say if this will give Higbee enough time to ramp up into fantasy viability, but Parkinson has already started to lose work to Allen. This probably isn't a situation to look at in typical fantasy leagues, but if you have interest in Playoff fantasy leagues and believe the Rams will get to the post-season, Higbee is an interesting name to keep in mind.

Tight end Tyler Higbee will miss at least the first four games of the Rams’ season.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Higbee will remain on the team’s physically unable to perform list when they make their cuts to an initial 53-man roster.

Higbee is recovering from the torn knee ligaments he suffered in the team’s playoff loss to the Lions in January, the story said. With Higbee out, Parkinson is a name to watch out for at the position, and has been getting some attention during the later rounds of drafts.

Sean McVay said WR Cooper Kupp will play on Sunday against Arizona.

Related Players: Puka Nacua, Tutu Atwell, Tyler Higbee

With Kupp active, you've got to get him in your lineup. Along with Nacua, they can be considered WR1/2s, with Atwell getting knocked down the pecking order as a desperation FLEX option

Rams head coach Sean McVay says Cooper Kupp has had a "setback." He calls it a "muscle strain."Day-to-day, per McVay.

"We're obviously a much better team when he's out there."

These minor setbacks seem to be adding up for the 30-year-old Kupp's hamstring. Though fantasy drafters should refrain from overreacting, this certainly isn't a good look. Moving the surrounding cast of Ja'Marr Chase, Tyreek Hill, and Stefon Diggs over Kupp is not out of the question as it stands.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals and the injury will require surgery, head coach Sean McVay announced on Tuesday.

Kupp will be having tightrope surgery on Wednesday and the All-Pro WR will be placed on injured reserve, holding him out for at least four games, McVay added according to the story. While it's possible Kupp could return to this season, according to several other sources, with the Rams season fading fast there may be no reason to do that. It's a big loss for fantasy owners who were still getting fantasy production despite the Rams struggles on offense. TE Higbee could see a nice bump in production while at WR, Robinson, Jefferson and Skowronek could also see increases. It's a big hit for the already-struggling QB Matthew Stafford.

Rams HC Sean McVay told the media Monday that TE Tyler Higbee (MCL sprain) is day-to-day and will not practice to start this week.

Zero surprise regarding Higbee's status. His potential absence would open the door for Kendall Blanton and create a way to save salary in DFS.

Rams HC Sean McVay told reporters that the only injury status that concerns him heading into Super Bowl week is that of TE Tyler Higbee (MCL). RB Cam Akers has not practiced this week, but it was planned.

If Higbee does not play, Kendall Blanton becomes the salary relief play on the Rams side for DFS. It is also somewhat reassuring to see McVay open and honest about injuries heading into the season finale.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

With Higbee out in Week 14, Blanton filled in and caught two balls for 29 yards on three targets. If you waited to use Higbee, Blanton is at least a desperation play.

Rams placed CB Jalen Ramsey and TE Tyler Higbee on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Both players out of tonight’s game vs. Cardinals.

Two big losses in what is a key game for the NFC West. With Higbee out, Blanton and Harris are next up on the depth chart. Higbee had a 5-48-0 line last week against the Jags while Blanton caught one pass for six yards.
