2 years agoLos Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee could see his role in the Week 1 matchup against the Buffalo Bills increased with No. 3 receiver Van Jefferson (knee) ruled out for the game already. "The Rams could also go with more two-tight end packages with Tyler Higbee and Brycen Hopkins, making up for the loss of their No. 3 wideout," the Rams Wire's Cameron DaSilva writes. Even with the possibility of more targets, it could be tough for the Rams' seventh-year tight end to produce much against the Bills stout defense. Buffalo allowed the fewest passing yards of any team in 2021, and TEs scored the fourth-fewest fantasy points (standard scoring) against them. Higbee might not crack the top 12 tight ends in this tough matchup.--Mitchell Blatt - RotoBaller
