Tyler Higbee Week 7 Outlook - Bears at Rams

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 22nd 2020, 9:48am EDT

Despite the Rams falling behind early against the 49ers, we didn't see Higbee run any more routes. Higbee hasn't seen more than five targets all year and has just 12 targets over his last four games. The Bears have allowed three different tight ends to compile at least 52 yards against them and have allowed a tight end touchdown in 3-of-6 games. The Rams could choose to go to their tight ends in the red zone a bit more with how good the Bears are against wide receivers, but we also have to worry about the fact that Goff hasn't thrown a single touchdown pass against the Bears in two games over the last two years. With how little Higbee has been running routes and being targeted, he can't be trusted as a TE1. He's just a TE2 and not a very good one.
