BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 48% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: It's been a while since the last time we saw Tyler Higbee finish a game scoring double-digit fantasy points, but it finally happened this past Sunday when he finished with 12.4 PPR points against the Cardinals.
We were all licking our chops back in Week 2 when Higbee finished as the TE1 with 28.4 PPR points (5-5, 53 yards, 3 TDs), but that was more of a fluke than a trend. Given the putrid status of the TE position, though, a 12+ fantasy points performance is more than enough to have hopes on Higbee becoming a reasonably good play going forward.
Higbee's 12.4 PPR points in W13 came from a 4-of-6, 24-yard, 1 touchdown performance against, it must be said, a top-10 defense against the position. The Rams have had a tough schedule when it comes to the TE position, facing only one bottom-10 defense against the position since Week 3.
Los Angeles has another tough matchup this next week against New England (4th-best against fantasy TEs) but they then face the Jets, which ranks dead-last at it and close the fantasy season against Seattle (11th-best). If you are needy and play in a deep league, Higbee should be far from the worst streamer at the position this week, and someone to definitely target come W15.
