Tyler Higbee is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for tight ends. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 59% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Higbee took advantage of No. 3 WR Van Jefferson being out of the lineup and was targeted 11 times in the Super Bowl champion Rams’ Thursday night loss. Yes, he was only able to manage 39 receiving yards on that treasure trove of targets, but the fact that he was looked at that much by Matthew Stafford means more than his statistical totals.
Until No. 2 WR Allen Robinson is worked into the offense and/or the Rams bring back Odell Beckham Jr. when he is healthy enough to play, Higbee could be the second-best option behind Cooper Kupp in the Rams offense for the foreseeable future.
That future might be bright considering L.A.’s next six games are against teams that lost in Week 1. Just do not pick up Higbee hoping for a repeat of what he did during the 2019 campaign when he had 521 yards over a shocking five-game span.
Fantasy experts like me are still unsure why that happened – and why it hasn’t again.
