LAR TE Tyler Higbee - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs Chicago

Higbee finished last week against the 49ers with three receptions for 56 yards on three targets. Higbee led all receivers in yards but had the least number of targets between the primary WR group. Higbee is still not producing TE1 numbers, so these types of games are still disappointing from managers who took him with high expectations. With Gerald Everett receiving an increased snap and target share, Higbee will still be regulated to TE2 territory.

LAR TE Tyler Higbee - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at San Francisco

The Higbee Hype Train is officially off the rails as he put up his worst stat line of the season catching his only two targets for 12 yards. With the Rams already spreading the targets amongst their receiving group, Higbee’s decline in production took another hit with fellow TE Gerald Everett leading the team in receiving. Higbee was already hard to trust as TE1 in previous weeks, but now he is firmly entrenched as a TE2 not just in fantasy, but perhaps on his own team.

LAR TE Tyler Higbee - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Washington

Higbee once again failed to produce meaningful stats last week against the Giants as he only saw four targets which he turned into three receptions for 20 yards. Higbee has been average at best this season outside his random three-touchdown game in Week 2, and Jared Goff’s insistence on spreading the ball around making Higbee a third fiddle to Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods.

While Higbee has not been a TE1 in fantasy for most of this year, this week’s matchup against Washington presents a great opportunity as the Football Team is ranked 27th in aFPA to TEs. If Higbee has another blow-up game in him, this week seems like the time.

LAR TE Tyler Higbee - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Buffalo

This is the Tyler Higbee we were all waiting for. Higbee absolutely burned Philadelphia in Week 2 as he caught all five his targets for 54 yards and three touchdowns. Without being able to get much going to their WRs, the Rams leaned on Higbee heavily in the redzone and it paid dividends. While it is still too early to see if Higbee will join Travis Kelce and George Kittle in the ranks of the elite TE1s, last week’s performance is a step in the right direction. Higbee gets a tough matchup against the Bills, but he should see enough work to keep firmly in the TE1 discussion.

LAR TE Tyler Higbee - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Philadelphia

The Higbee Hype Train didn’t exactly get off the right start as his Week 1 performance saw him garner three catches for 40 yards on for targets. Not terrible numbers for the position, however, his usage isn’t anywhere close to how he finished the final five games of the previous season. Things look better got him against Philadelphia, who allowed the passing score of the game to Washington TE Logan Thomas. Keep Higbee in your lineups this week as he should produce low-end TE1 numbers.

LAR TE Tyler Higbee - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Dallas

Tyler Higbee’s late season breakout last year made him a favorite of the fantasy community, and for good reason as the final five weeks of the season same him garner 56 targets for 43 receptions, 522 yards and two touchdowns. The combination of becoming Jared Goff’s favorite target and an excellent matchup against the Dallas Cowboys has Higbee poised for a huge game to start the year. Dallas has been awful against TEs the last few seasons and last year’s Week 15 matchup against the Rams allowed Higbee to have a career day as he went 12-111-0. Fire up Higbee as an upside TE1 for Week 1.

LAR TE Tyler Higbee - 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Tyler Higbee’s rise to prominence was a unique one. Fighting off teammate Gerald Everett for the starting role all season, Higbee was only targeted 23 times before the Rams Week 8 bye Week. After that, LA switched over to a two-TE set and Higbee broke out all over the place. His final five weeks of the season were something to behold - 56 targets to tune of 43 receptions, 522 yards and two touchdowns. His final four weeks saw him get double-digit targets in each of those games, a clear sign that he’s the new focal point of the Rams offense. In trading away WR Brandin Cooks and failing to improve the offense line, the Rams two-TE set is here to stay and so should be the production of Higbee.

Fantasy Downside

At age 27, TE Tyler Higbee broke out in the final five games of the season—this isn’t something that typically happens. It’s for this reason that his production might be just a mirage that stays in 2019. Higbee certainly has the requisite size to be a star TE at 6’7” and 250 pounds, however, his lack of athleticism doesn’t compare to the truly elite TEs in the league, thus adding on to his already questionable breakout. Higbee is still sharing TE targets with an elite athlete at the position in Everett and there will always be a competition for targets with Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp, so it’ll interesting to see if he can continue his elite level of production.

2020 Bottom Line

We have Higbee ranked seventh among tight ends and his current ADP in 12-team leagues has him going in the middle of the seventh round. Higbee has become a darling in the fantasy community given how ended the season, however, the small sample size has potential to trap fantasy owners given is ADP.
