Higbee leads Rams TE snaps but fumbled in inefficient group averaging under 10 yards per catch.

Despite being expected to take a step back, Higbee led all Rams tight ends with 48 snaps (83% of plays) on Sunday against Arizona; however, the tight end group combined for nine catches on 10 targets for 53 yards, one touchdown, and a critical lost fumble by Higbee. Through Week 7, Higbee's 246 yards eclipse the combined total of all four other tight ends (181 yards), but the source notes the Rams' tight end investments—including second-round picks in 2025 and 2026—haven't paid off, with the group averaging less than 10 yards per catch and failing to improve the run game or attack downfield effectively.
