RotoWire NFL Articles on Tyler Higbee
From the article
his snap share (84%) and route share (78%) were season highs, and with Davante Adams (hamstring) on the shelf for the foreseeable future, Higbee's target rate (18.6% this season) could improve to around 20 percent or even slightly higher
STACKED’s take
Higbee's season-high snap/route share and Adams' absence project 5-6 targets vs. cold Raiders.
Higbee cooled off last week with just 22 yards and a lost fumble on four targets, but his snap share (84%) and route share (78%) were season highs. With Davante Adams (hamstring) on the shelf for the foreseeable future, Higbee's target rate (18.6% this season) could improve to around 20 percent or even slightly higher. He does a lot less pass-blocking than he did in his prime—just 5.5 percent of pass snaps this season, the sixth-lowest rate among TEs with 75-plus routes. In the absence of both Adams and TE Terrance Ferguson (IR - ankle), Higbee should settle in around 5-6 targets per game, which is enough to get the job done for fantasy managers when playing indoors against an ice-cold Raiders defense that's allowed 30-plus points in three straight. The Rams' implied total of 26.5 points is tied for the second-highest of Week 7.
