Tyler Higbee Underperforms with Two Tight Ends Sidelined

Tyler Higbee a Potential Streamer Depending on Teammate's Status
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

Rams get back in the win column with 35-21 victory over Raiders
After a particularly disappointing loss last week and a wave of injuries, the Rams got their groove back against the Raiders on Sunday. Los Angeles defeated Las Vegas 35-21 with a strong overall performance in the desert. The Rams were particularly effective on the ground, and the club would have rushed for over 200 yards if not for kneel-downs at the end of the game. Kyren Williams led the way with 99 yards on 16 carries with a touchdown, while Blake Corum had 93 yards on 17 carries with a TD. Matthew Stafford became the Rams’ all-time leader in touchdown passes with his three first-half scoring strikes on Sunday, surpassing Roman Gabriel. He finished the contest 23-of-29 passing for 195 yards with the three scores and an interception — a pass that went right off of Colby Parkinson’s hands and into the waiting arms of Nakobe Dean. Despite dealing with a calf injury, Puka Nacua caught eight passes for 68 yards with a touchdown while also rushing for 10 yards on two carries. Tight end Davis Allen caught Stanford’s other two touchdowns in the first half. L.A. punted on its first possession, but after that scored four straight touchdowns to take a 28-6 lead into halftime. Things got a little hairy for the Rams in the second half, with a Kyren Williams fumble and the interception preventing the team from scoring more. But after Kirk Cousins’ 15-yard touchdown pass to Ashton Jeanty narrowed the Rams’ lead to 28-18, L.A. put the game away with a 12-play, 70-yard drive that ended on Corum’s 4-yard touchdown run. Cousins finished the game 26-of-44 for 295 yards with two touchdowns. Tre Tucker caught five passes for 103 yards with a TD. Jeanty had just 15 yards rushing on eight carries, though he also had 61 yards receiving on eight catches. Brock Bowers finished with 73 yards on six catches. Now at 3-4, the Rams will be back at SoFi Stadium for a matchup against the cross-town Chargers in Week 8. After starting 3-0, the Raiders have now fallen to 3-4. They will be on the road to face the Jets next Sunday

Colby Parkinson Capable of Achieving Fantasy Relevance in No. 2 Role
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

Colby Parkinson's Increased Involvement Creates Waiver Appeal

Terrance Ferguson Not Expected to be Ready Next Week
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

Colby Parkinson - Catches late TD in surprising loss
sleeper-rotowire+18 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Parkinson caught five of six targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Cardinals. The tight end's six targets tied Kyren Williams for second on the team behind Puka Nacua's seven on a day the Rams couldn't move the ball. Parkinson entered Sunday with four catches for 24 yards on seven targets. He can largely be ignored in fantasy football as the Rams' main blocking tight end

Tyler Higbee's Consistent Production Makes Him a Week 6 Streaming Option
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has caught at least five passes for 60 yards in three consecutive games, putting him in a favorable position for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Since Terrance Ferguson (ankle) went down, Higbee has caught 18 of 23 targets for 212 yards and a touchdown, including five receptions for a season-high 83 yards against Buffalo in Week 5. He played 67% of the offensive snaps in that contest, while fellow tight end Colby Parkinson managed just two targets despite playing a similar number of snaps. Arizona has been particularly vulnerable against tight ends, surrendering 258 receiving yards and four touchdowns to the position over its last three games. Higbee has become a reliable receiving option for Matthew Stafford, and Ferguson's continued absence should help preserve his opportunities. He is a worthwhile Week 6 streaming option, especially in PPR leagues, with the potential to deliver low-end TE1 production
