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.

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report for Sunday's Divisional Round game vs. the Bears. We're expecting the rookie to slot in third among Los Angeles' TEs in routes, behind Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee.

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals due to a hamstring injury. He wasn't listed on Friday's final injury report, so the hamstring issue evidently popped up after practice. Ferguson will miss the regular season finale and now looks iffy for at least the playoff opener. TE Tyler Higbee has been activated from IR and will join Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen in the TE room vs. Arizona.

The Rams placed TE Tyler Higbee on IR with the ankle injury he suffered in the Week 11 win over the Seahawks. He'll miss at least the next four games. Higbee has been leading Los Angeles' four-man TE platoon, running a route on 53% of pass plays this season. His absence frees up opportunities for TEs Terrance Ferguson, Colby Parkinson, and Davis Allen. Ferguson is the most intriguing of the trio but is no more than a deep-league bench stash for now.

After missing Week 5 with a hip injury, Rams TE Tyler Higbee returned in Week 6 for a 4-40-1 stat line. He led the team in TE snaps at 66%. TEs Davis Allen (39.6%) and Terrance Ferguson (32.1%) were well behind. With WR Puka Nacua on and off the field throughout the game with injury, Higbee had a solid role while catching all of his targets.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee was knocked out of Monday night's Wild Card win over the Vikings with a chest injury. HC Sean McVay said afterward that Higbee was taken to the hospital. "He’s in stable condition," McVay added. "It was something with his chest. I think he’s gonna be okay. What does that mean, in terms of his status moving forward, I don’t know." Higbee seems unlikely to be ready for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. He was busy before going down against Minnesota, catching all five of his targets across two possessions. His absence would leave the Rams with TEs Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson, and Hunter Long.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee (shoulder) is active for tonight's Wild Card game vs. the Lions. He was limited in practice all week and carries some re-injury risk. But this is a plus matchup against Detroit's 24th-ranked TE defense.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee (neck) is not listed on the final Week 15 injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. Los Angeles has a big 28.5-point implied total for that one, giving Higbee more TD upside than usual. But he’s finished as a top-12 PPR TE just three times this season, making him tough to trust as a fantasy starter.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee (Achilles) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. His status for this weekend's game vs. the Colts is uncertain. Check back tomorrow to see how he's listed on the final injury report.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee (Achilles) did not practice on Wednesday. It's rare to see Achilles on the injury report, but we haven't seen any concern about Higbee's availability for this weekend's game vs. the Colts. We'll see if he gets back on the field tomorrow.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. We'll see what he does tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Chiefs.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. A source tells Schefter that it "doesn't sound good." No timetable is given, but high-ankle sprains are generally 4-6 week injuries. So, for now, Kupp owners should brace to be without him until at least Week 15 -- and possibly longer. Kupp leaves behind a massive 30% of Rams targets. Allen Robinson, Van Jefferson, Ben Skowronek and Tyler Higbee should all pick up extra volume, but this Rams passing game could be a disaster with Kupp sidelined.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee caught all 8 of his targets for 73 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, leading the team in all 3 categories. WR Ben Skowronek checked in 2nd among Rams with 7 targets in a game that saw the team lose Cooper Kupp to injury. WR Allen Robinson ranked 3rd with 6 targets and finished 2nd in catches (4) and yards (44).
