Tyler Higbee Week 8 Outlook - Chargers at Rams

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 29th 2026, 1:35pm EDT

Just when you think it's safe or advantageous to start Tyler Higbee, Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford pull the rug out from under you. After rattling off three straight awesome games, Higbee has stunk in the last two weeks. We have been forced to watch Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen soak up the tight end production for the Rams as we foolishly put Higbee into our lineups. Since Week 3, Higbee has had a 13.5% target share with 1.55 YPRR, two red zone targets, and a 16.1% first-read share. Over their last five games, the Bolts have limited tight ends to the fourth-fewest yards per target and the tenth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity. This week, sit Higbee.
