Tyler Higbee headed for serious rookie role with Rams

Los Angeles Rams rookie tight end Tyler Higbee "appears headed for serious playing time" as a rookie, ESPN's Steve Dilbeck reports.

What It Means:

Higbee is dripping with long-term upside as a former wide receiver in a tight end's body, but the same could have been said for former Ram Jared Cook. It's tough to see him as anything more than a second-tier fantasy option in a sad offense, especially considering the fact that Higbee still has severe off-field issues and faces potential league discipline for a violent assault.

Our algorithms project Higbee for just 19 catches for 211 yards and 2.12 touchdowns this year, second on his own team.
