Tyler Higbee Ready To Go For Week 5

Tyler Higbee Ready To Go For Week 5

one year ago

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (Achilles, thumb) was not listed on the first injury report for Week 5 on Wednesday after he entered the Week 4 game against the Indianapolis Colts as questionable to play. Higbee ended up playing on Sunday and was on the field for 94 percent of the offensive snaps, but he also had his thumb banged up in the overtime win over the Colts. It appears the thumb injury wasn't very serious and he's past the Achilles injury as well, so the 30-year-old should be just fine to play this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Higbee has been a decent low-end TE1 for fantasy managers through four weeks, but he'll inevitably lose valuable targets whenever receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) makes his return from Injured Reserve.
