2016 NFL Draft Analysis for Fantasy Football - Tight End Tyler Higbee

Position, Team, NFL Draft Spot: TE, Los Angeles Rams, 4.12

Dynasty Positional Rank: 40+

Redraft Target Round: Late round pick in deep leagues.

Analysis: The Rams were determined to upgrade their offense in the NFL Draft, as they selected a skill position player with five of their six picks. Injuries and off the field issues caused Higbee to fall a bit in the draft, but the Rams selected him in the fourth round.

Higbee has elite receiving skills for a tight end. This could help him find the field this season, but he is a thin player and will need to add muscle to become a full time player. He also isn’t a very polished blocker, and his role this season will likely be limited. He isn’t an option in re-draft leagues.

Higbee has undeniable upside in dynasty leagues. He has the physical abilities to become an elite fantasy tight end during his career. He should be able to compete in the receiving game from day one, but he will need to work on his blocking to find a more consistent role for Los Angeles. He also has a history of injuries, as he did not play more than nine games in any of his last three seasons in college. He also has a bit of history with off the field issues, which could also hurt his career outlook. Still, he is athletic enough to take a shot on in dynasty leagues.
