Yahoo Sports NFL on Tyler Higbee

Higbee has TE7, TE14, TE10 in last 3 weeks; top-5 upside if Nacua ruled out.

Higbee was going to be a recommended start even before Puka Nacua popped up with a calf injury on Thursday. While there's optimism the Rams' star wideout will be able to play, Higbee is still a strong option since Davante Adams and Terrance Ferguson are already sidelined. Despite a quieter outing in Week 6, Higbee was on a roll in the previous three contests with 62 yards and a TD in Week 3 (TE7), 67 yards in Week 4 (TE14) and 83 yards in Week 5 (TE10). The Raiders are giving up the seventh most fantasy points to tight ends. If Puka plays, Higbee will be a top-10 option. But if Puka is ruled out, Higbee has top-five upside.
