Tyler Higbee to have a big role in 2016

ESPN's Steve Dilbeck believes that Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee has been the "biggest surprise" in training camp and that he's "headed for some serious playing time" in 2016. (ESPN)

Fantasy Impact:

Higbee is projected to No. 2 tight end on Los Angeles' depth chart and is not currently a threat to overtake Lance Kendricks for the starting job. Higbee could be in line for playing time in his rookie campaign, but the Rams are young and Kendricks' veteran experience is needed to keep the huddle under control on the field and lead the offensive unit. Higbee has minimal fantasy value in 2016 unless Kendricks struggles or is set back by injury.
