Tyler Higbee's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) was listed as a full participant during Monday's practice estimate. Higbee has been sidelined all season while recovering from ACL and MCL tears from January. It sounds like Higbee is doing better, but head coach Sean McVay said the team doesn't want to rush anything. That being said, it seems unlikely that Higbee will be activated in time for Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. The Rams still have over a week left on his 21-day window before having to activate Higbee or shut him down for the season. If he plays, Higbee would unlikely have a big role on offense and wouldn't be a recommended fantasy option.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) will not be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list in order to make his 2024 debut in Week 14 against the visiting Buffalo Bills this Sunday. Higbee tore his ACL and MCL in a playoff game in January and hasn't been able to play at all yet this year, however, he has been practicing in full since last Friday and could be a candidate to make his season debut for a huge divisional clash against the San Francisco 49ers next Thursday night. However, even if the 31-year-old veteran makes his return next week against San Fran, we'd expect the Rams to play it safe and limit his reps alongside TEs Davis Allen and Colby Parkinson. Allen and Parkins have pretty much formed a TE committee in LA this year with Higbee out, making them impossible to trust in standard-sized fantasy formats.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) was listed as a full participant in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Higbee, who has yet to play in 2024 due to tears in his ACL and MCL in his right knee in a playoff game on Jan. 14, also put in a full practice session last Friday. However, he's not expected to be activated off the Physically Unable to Perform list by Saturday in order to make his season debut on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. The Rams aren't going to rush the 31-year-old veteran back, but he could make his debut next week and be eased in versus the division-rival San Francisco 49ers in Week 15 next Thursday night. Once Higbee does return, we wouldn't recommend him for starting fantasy lineups as he works alongside Davis Allen and Colby Parkinson. With receivers Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp eating up most of the targets, Rams tight ends have had little production.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) is unlikely to take the field for the Week 14 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. On Monday, head coach Sean McVay said Higbee's chances of suiting up were less than likely for Sunday's game. Fantasy managers patiently waiting for Higbee's season debut are going to have to wait at least one more week. Higbee continues recovering from an ACL and MCL tear that he suffered in January. Colby Parkinson figures to continue being the primary tight end for this offense, but he hasn't done much on the field this season to warrant starting him in fantasy formats.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) will not play this weekend, according to Stu Jackson of Rams.com. While Higbee was already expected to sit out this weekend, Jackson noted that the tight end is "probably" ready and that the coaching staff will be "smart with him." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status next week, but the veteran could be on the verge of making his season debut against the Buffalo Bills next week. While he has been sidelined, Colby Parkinson has seen most of the starting opportunities. When Higbee does return, he could be worth a look in deeper formats but will likely face stiff target competition playing alongside Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Demarcus Robinson, and Kyren Williams.
