Tyler Higbee Has Unclear Timeline For Return

9 months ago

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the team's wild-card loss to the Detroit Lions on Jan. 14, and he has undergone surgery to repair it. However, Rams general manager Les Snead said the veteran's timeline to return is "still unclear." The 31-year-old caught 47 passes for 495 yards and two touchdowns in his eighth NFL season (2023), marking his quietest statistical year since 2018. Given his major injury late in the year, he's likely to begin the 2024 campaign on the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list, which would mean he'd have to miss at least the first four games of the season. Regardless of his health, he has limited fantasy upside while sharing a field with receivers Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp for the foreseeable future. His peak fantasy value has likely come and gone.
