Tyler Higbee Set For High Volume In Tough Matchup
2 years agoLos Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee faces a tough matchup in Week 11 against the New Orleans Saints but could have a big game. The Saints defense has done well at defending tight ends so far this season. They have allowed just a 53.7% completion percentage when opposing tight ends are targeted, and they have allowed the third-fewest receiving yards to tight ends of any team. Saints LBs Demario Davis and Pete Werner are pretty good in pass coverage. While Higbee's matchup is a tough one, he should be in line for a boatload of targets. Higbee typically gets the ball thrown his way when the rest of the team is struggling. That could be the case in the Rams' first game without Cooper Kupp since the 2021 playoffs. Higbee has finished as a top 15 TE six times this season and has a good chance to do so again.
