Tyler Higbee Losing His Fantasy Appeal
4 years agoLos Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has struggled in four out of five games to start the season, and it doesn't appear that things are going to get dramatically easier in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers. Through five games, the 49ers are allowing an average of just 5.2 fantasy points per game to the position, and safety and linebacker are the only healthy positions they have on the defensive side of the ball. Higbee brings little to nothing in terms of yards-after-the-catch ability. Higbee has become a touchdown-dependent, low-end TE1, but San Francisco has allowed just one touchdown thus far to tight ends, which makes that difficult to count on.
