Drops: Tyler Higbee
Tyler Higbee caught 1-of-2 targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-9 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Higbee wasn't able to get much going on Sunday, finishing with just one catch for 14 yards in a win over the Chargers. Fantasy managers shouldn't trust starting him on a weekly basis with how lacking his production has been over the past couple of weeks

He was held to 16 yards in the opener in Philadelphia, and the other stinker was when Daniels was out. The Eagles have struggled against tight ends. Tommy Tremble, Brenton Strange, and Tyler Higbee all cleared this number against them, and none of them were the top option on their respective offenses. With Terry McLaurin out for the year, Washington needs someone to move the chains, and Okonkwo has become that guy for the Commanders."

Tyler Higbee had a disappointing performance in Week 8 with two tight ends sidelined
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has an opportunity to get back on the fantasy radar this week, but it will depend on whether teammate Colby Parkinson (rib) suits up. Parkinson is certainly trending in the wrong direction after missing three consecutive practices, but the Rams have left the door open for him to play by listing him as questionable. In the event that he doesn't suit up, Higbee would likely operate as the Rams' No. 1 tight end. He had 22 catches for 234 yards and a touchdown from Weeks 3-6, but he took a step backward with just two receptions on three targets last week. He has still handled a sizable snap share, though, and we'd expect him to get back on track if Parkinson can't suit up and both Terrance Ferguson (ankle) and Davante Adams (hamstring) are on injured reserve. The biggest concern here is that the Chargers have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2026, but that is a product of game script and not necessarily a reflection of the Chargers' defensive strengths. We would feel confident streaming Higbee as a fringe top-12 fantasy tight end this week, but only if Parkinson is deemed inactive
Tyler Higbee's performance has declined, making him a less appealing streaming option for Week 8
Higbee caught two of three targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 35-21 win over the Raiders. Higbee was expected to have a chance to see an increase in production with wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) unavailable, but the tight end put together a disappointing performance. Fellow tight ends Colby Parkinson (5-48-0) and Davis Allen (4-20-2) had more impressive days, and it may be hard to predict which of the three will be the go-to option any given week until Terrance Ferguson (ankle) returns from injured reserve
Tyler Higbee caught two of his three targets for 14 yards in the Rams' 35-21 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. Higbee has cooled off of late, finishing with less than 25 receiving yards in each of the last two contests. The tight end remains one of the more stable pass-catching options as part of a banged-up Rams offense, with a Week 8 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers up next
Tyler Higbee has increased volume and is a good option as a fantasy starter at the tight end position for Week 7
Colby Parkinson, the Rams' No. 2 tight end, has a chance to produce standalone fantasy value in Week 7 against the Raiders due to potential absences of top receivers Davante Adams and Puka Nacua. Parkinson is ranked as TE19 and could become Matthew Stafford's No. 2 target, benefiting from a favorable matchup against a Raiders defense that has struggled against tight ends
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has taken on an expanded role lately, and his production could continue to climb in Week 7 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Higbee has an opportunity to step up as quarterback Matthew Stafford's favorite target with Davante Adams (hamstring) sidelined and Puka Nacua (calf) questionable after missing Friday's practice. The veteran tight end had already been handling a larger role lately with Terrance Ferguson (ankle) on injured reserve, so the wide receiver injuries should only allow his volume to increase. This is a very favorable matchup for Higbee to handle more targets, too, as the Raiders have surrendered the third-most catches, third-most touchdowns, and fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends in 2026. Yet, Higbee remains available on the waiver wire in a whopping 78% of leagues. Managers dealing with tight end bye weeks, injuries, or poor production can instantly upgrade at the position by streaming Higbee for Week 7

Colby Parkinson drew six targets and caught five passes for 31 yards in Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals, and his target volume may increase with Davante Adams out with a hamstring injury
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle) is not expected to be ready for Week 8 as he remains on Injured Reserve, according to Adam Schefter. Ferguson's recovery is described as taking "some time," which is a setback for the 2-4 Rams and fantasy managers. He has been out since Week 3, catching 7 of 12 targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in his first three games this season
The Rams' investment in tight ends is not yielding expected results, with snap counts indicating limited opportunities for the position
Drops: Tyler Higbee
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has caught 24 of his 29 targets through six weeks in 2026 for 246 yards and one touchdown, averaging 10.3 yards per catch. Higbee had his best game of the early season in last week's overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills, when he caught five of his six targets for 83 yards. He was not as productive in Sunday's surprising loss to the division-rival Arizona Cardinals in Week 6, though, catching all four of his targets for 22 yards. The basis for the 33-year-old veteran still being an option off the fantasy football waiver wire going into a Week 7 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders on the road is that fellow TE Terrance Ferguson (ankle) will not be eligible to return from Injured Reserve until Week 8 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. Higbee will have at least one more week to serve as L.A.'s top pass-catching tight end against the Raiders, putting him in play as a TE streamer with bye weeks in full swing. From Weeks 3 through 5, Higbee had at least 62 receiving yards and five receptions. Higbee is rostered in 35% of Yahoo leagues
Tyler Higbee caught four passes for 22 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Higbee caught four passes over the course of the afternoon on Sunday, but he wasn't able to do much with them, racking up just 22 yards in a loss to the Cardinals. Fantasy managers shouldn't have high expectations for him moving forward
