NFL tight end Tyler Higbee is a potential 2021 fantasy football sleeper and ADP draft value. Target him as an undervalued TE in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~135
ANALYSIS: Remove tight end teammate Gerald Everett from the target mix and swap in quarterback Matthew Stafford for Jared Goff. All of a sudden, Tyler Higbee just might become something resembling the monster averaging 21.4 points a game over a five-game stretch at the end of 2019 -- when Everett was hobbled -- instead of the disappointment who managed a mere 8.5 points per week in 2020.
Stafford has leaned on his tight ends often over the years. T.J. Hockenson was the Lions’ second-leading pass-catcher last year. The loss of Cam Akers to injury could also ensure a prominent role for Rams tight ends. With Everett now in Seattle, the depth chart behind Higbee is more of a mystery than a threat. Look for the 28-year-old to bounce partway back to his late-2019 pace, putting up a line of about 65-750-6.
