Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
The efficiency holds up, but the age, the limited route volume, and a 3.28 air yards per target paint a short-area, touchdown-reliant profile with little weekly floor. In a Rams offense that funnels targets to Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, Higbee is a streaming option in deeper leagues when the matchup points to red-zone work. Next on the depth chart after him: Davis Allen. Full outlook

Tyler Higbee Rest-of-Season Outlook
Efficient depth TE for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE40 last season at 7.1 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's TE25 at 7.1 PPR points per game, against 7.1 over 10 games last season (TE40). The role is producing the same fantasy output two years running.
Last season he ranked 51st of 81 in route participation (32.4%), 44th of 82 in target share (6.2%) and 23rd of 82 in efficiency (1.41 yards per route run). His points come from his efficiency. Route participation is the soft spot. Matthew Stafford is his quarterback.
He's TE3 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchups are the Cardinals in Week 6 (6th against TEs) and the Raiders in Week 7 (4th against TEs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
At 32, Higbee is a part-time touchdown specialist. In 2025 he played 10 games on a 55.5 percent snap share, caught 25 of 36 targets for 281 yards and 3 scores, and posted a strong 0.261 EPA per play, ranking TE44. The volume is thin (6.2 percent target share, 32.4 percent route share) but the red-zone usage is real: 8 red-zone and 4 end-zone targets. That continued the trend from his injury-wrecked 2024 (3 games, 2 TDs) and is a steep drop from his 2023 workhorse line of 47 catches, 495 yards on an 86.5 percent snap share (TE20).
The efficiency holds up, but the age, the limited route volume, and a 3.28 air yards per target paint a short-area, touchdown-reliant profile with little weekly floor. In a Rams offense that funnels targets to Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, Higbee is a streaming option in deeper leagues when the matchup points to red-zone work. For most formats he is a waiver-wire name, not a draftable starter.

Tyler Higbee Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Tyler Higbee's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Tyler Higbee projects as an efficient depth TE for deep leagues only for the rest of the 2026 season: a bench stash in TE-premium leagues and waiver-wire material in 12-team and 10-team leagues. His efficiency (1.41 yards per route run, 23rd of 82 TEs in 2025) supports that. His route participation (32.4% route participation, 51st of 81 TEs in 2025) holds him back.

What could hurt Tyler Higbee's fantasy value?
