Bottom Line

A measly 3 TDs kept Higbee from having a strong fantasy season last year. But he ranked top-9 among TEs in targets, catches, and yards.

With the Rams failing to significantly upgrade their pass-catching corps this offseason, Higbee could be in for a bunch of targets again in 2023.

He’s not exciting, but Higbee looks like a nice value pick in fantasy drafts.


What We Learned Last Year
  • Higbee set career highs last year with 108 targets and 72 catches. His 620 yards were his second most among seven NFL seasons.
  • Here’s where those marks ranked among all TEs last year:
    • fourth in targets
    • fifth in catches
    • ninth in yards
  • Higbee scored just 3 TDs – tied for 19th at his position.
  • He finished sixth among TEs in total PPR points and 14th in non-PPR points.
  • He ranked 15th in PPR points per game and 23rd in non-PPR points per game.
  • Higbee finished as a top-12 PPR TE in seven weeks. He ranked outside the top 20 eight times.
  • He played the first eight games of the season with a healthy QB Matt Stafford and WR Cooper Kupp. He played most the final nine games without Stafford and Kupp. Here’s how his numbers compared:


What to Expect in 2023
  • The Rams traded WR Allen Robinson, who saw 52 targets in 10 games last year, to the Steelers. Additions to the pass-catching corps:
    • Fifth-round WR Puka Nacua
    • WR Demarcus Robinson
    • fifth-round TE Davis Allen
    • TE Hunter Long
  • WRs Van Jefferson, Tutu Atwell, and Ben Skowronek, and TE Brycen Hopkins return.
  • Higbee’s starting job should be safe, and he has a chance to again claim a big target share.
  • QB Matt Stafford is healthy and returns as the Rams’ starter.
  • Higbee should be in for positive TD regression.
    • He scored on just 4.2% of his catches last year.
    • League-wide average TD rate for TEs is around 8.4%.
    • Higbee’s average entering last year was 7.3%.
    • Higbee’s 6.2 expected TDs last year ranked fifth among TEs.
  • Higbee turned 30 in January. Our aging-curve research shows that TEs, on average, produce at 76% of their peak at age 30. That’s down from 86% at age 29.
  • Higbee’s Pro Football Focus receiving grade sunk from 2021 to 2022. Last year’s mark ranked 21st song 32 qualifying TEs.
  • But his yards per route run climbed from 1.19 in 2021 to 1.43 last year. That latter mark ranked 13th among 32 qualifying TEs.

Puka Nacua, WR LAR

6:06pm EDT 10/1/23

Puka Nacua does Puka Nacua things

Rams WR Puka Nacua is incredible. His 39 catches through the first four games of his NFL career are the most all-time, and the rookie closed out Week 4 with his first career TD vs. the Colts. He led the team in receiving with 9 catches on 10 targets for 163 receiving yards. TE Tyler Higbee also paid off for fantasy managers, logging 5 catches on 11 targets for 64 yards. While his final stat line was a bummer (5 catches, 24 yards), WR Tutu Atwell remained heavily involved and should be a good candidate to bounce back next week vs. the Eagles. This Rams’ passing attack is turning out to be among the best in fantasy.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee (Achilles) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Colts.

We’ll look for further updates on Higbee’s status and get the Rams’ inactives around 11:30 am on Sunday.
