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.

Higbee scored the wide-open TD off play action, but a scripted red zone play for him certainly is good news for his fantasy future.
Higbee only ran 14 routes in the game however, with the Rams opting to lean on the run. Matthew Stafford only threw 26 passes total in the game.
Higbee shouldn’t necessarily be rostered yet, but he is worth monitoring with more bye weeks coming up over the next few weeks. If the Rams do lose a pass catcher at some point to injury, Higbee could be an intriguing sleeper.
