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

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (shoulder) is officially inactive for Week 18 versus the San Francisco 49ers. He had been listed as doubtful and was trending in the wrong direction after missing three consecutive practices. Davis Allen will step up as the Rams' top tight end, but he remains off the fantasy radar considering Los Angeles is starting Carson Wentz at quarterback.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (shoulder), who suffered a dislocated shoulder in the Week 17 win over the New York Giants, will not play in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. In addition to Higbee, the Rams will rest quarterback Matthew Stafford, running back Kyren Williams and wide receiver Cooper Kupp, and they could also limit other players' snaps. The Rams are locked into either the No. 6 or 7 seed in the NFC and want to keep their best players healthy heading into the postseason. The 31-year-old Higbee's injury could be serious enough to put him in jeopardy for the wild-card round next week. In a contest that will feel more like a preseason game on Sunday, rookie tight end Davis Allen could be busy with quarterback Carson Wentz running the show for the Rams' offense.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday as his team began preparing to take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18. Higbee has already been ruled out of action for this Sunday as the Rams already have a playoff spot locked up and have nothing to play for in Week 18. Rookie tight end Davis Allen will step into the starting role with Higbee sidelined. Allen started for an injured Higbee back in Week 14 and caught four passes for 50 yards and a touchdown, making him an interesting low-cost DFS target this weekend.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (shoulder) suffered a dislocated left shoulder in the Week 17 win over the New York Giants and the Rams will evaluate him later this week. The Rams haven't decided yet if they'll even play most of their starters in Week 18 against the San Francisco 49ers after clinching a playoff spot with their win on Sunday. With that said and given the nature of Higbee's injury, it's unlikely that he will be active this weekend to close out the regular season. The 31-year-old played 94 percent of the offensive snaps against the Giants and caught a season-high six passes for 62 yards in the one-point victory. Fantasy managers shouldn't expected to have him available in Week 18, but we'll know more on his status later this week. If Higbee does not play, expect rookie Davis Allen to have a significant role as a pass-catching tight end for LA.
