Tyler Higbee Fantasy Overview

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson suffered a medial ankle sprain in Sunday night's loss to the Broncos and will likely miss Week 4, HC Sean McVay said. TE Colby Parkinson sprained the AC joint in his shoulder vs. Denver but is considered "day to day," per McVay, seemingly giving him a chance to play this weekend. TE Tyler Higbee stepped up to catch 8 of 11 targets for 62 yards and a score with the Rams undermanned vs. the Broncos. He could be a desperation option for fantasy teams if Parkinson joins Ferguson on the sidelines this Sunday, though a tough matchup against the Eagles limits his upside.

For the third straight week to open the season, the Rams had a different scoring leader at TE. Davis Allen led the room in Week 1, Terrance Ferguson did it in Week 2, and Tyler Higbee took over in Week 3. Higbee hauled in eight of 11 targets for 62 yards and a TD, good for a TE1 finish in Week 3.

Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated writes that the Rams think TE Terrance Ferguson could "grow into one of the NFL's best tight ends." Per Breer, Ferguson put together a "fantastic offseason," showcasing the versatility to play multiple alignments and the run-after-catch skills the Rams covet.

The Los Angeles Rams selected Ohio State TE Max Klare in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Klare broke out as a redshirt sophomore at Purdue in 2024, leading the team in all major receiving categories and registering a strong 30.9% dominator rating. His 2.22 yards per route ranked 11th among 85 FBS WRs with 30+ targets. Klare transferred to Ohio State for the 2025 campaign and wasn’t as productive playing behind first-round WR Carnell Tate and future first-round WR Jeremiah Smith. But Klare finished third on the Buckeyes in catches (43) and receiving yards (448). The 6’4, 246-pounder is a well-rounded TE. He ran 47% of his college routes from the slot and 43% inline. Klare creates mismatches with his burst, runs tight routes, and is a serviceable blocker. He doesn’t boast the upside of Kenyon Sadiq or Eli Stowers, but Klare can develop into a fantasy TE1.
