FLEX

Tyler Higbee's recent trend in snap share indicates a consistent role, but his trailing average PPR points signal a limited upside.

Role & volume

Higbee has maintained a significant snap share over the last four games, averaging 52.2%, indicating he is still heavily involved in the game plan.

Projected role

Despite his consistent snaps, Higbee's trailing average of 10 PPR points per game suggests a limited ceiling for fantasy production, with recent games showing a floor as low as 3.3 PPR points.

Range (floor–ceiling)

Given his current role and performance trends, Higbee projects to offer a modest floor but lacks the upside to be considered for starting in most fantasy lineups, making him a FLEX option at best.

Risk & Opportunity Analysis (4 flags)

Risk Flags

Draft Capital
The Rams have now invested a second straight high draft pick at tight end — Terrance Ferguson in 2025 and Max Klare in round 2 of the 2026 draft — pushing Higbee to TE2 on a seven-deep room and squeezing an already thin target share (6% in 2025, WOPR 0.12).
Role Ceiling
Colby Parkinson has passed him as the Rams' primary in-line and red-zone tight end, and Higbee now sits TE2 behind Parkinson with Ferguson and Klare both viewed as ascending pieces ahead of him in the pecking order long-term.

Opportunity Flags

Contract Situation
Higbee's two-year deal signed in March 2026 guarantees him a roster spot through at least 2027, providing a modest floor against an outright release compared to a pure camp-body veteran.
Offensive Context
The Rams' pass-funnel offense (team PROE roughly +5% over expected) with Matthew Stafford at QB means a Parkinson injury or Higbee regaining in-line snaps could produce a short-term streaming spike, even if the baseline role is minimal.
