2024 Fantasy Outlook
Higbee came five yards short of reaching 500 for a fifth consecutive season in 2023, then tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee in the wild-card playoff loss to the Lions in January. An optimistic nine-month recovery timetable would have the 31-year-old tight end back before midseason, but it wouldn’t be surprising if he missed most, or even all, of the 2024 campaign. The Rams signed Colby Parkinson to a three-year, $22.5 million contract in the offseason, and Parkinson figures to fill in for Higbee atop the depth chart but could also push Higbee for playing time even once Higbee’s ready to return.

Ahead of schedule on knee rehab
Head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Higbee is "ahead of schedule" of his recovery from a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Higbee suffered the injury during the Rams' playoff loss to the Lions in January. He's been on the PUP list since training camp, and while he hasn't returned to practice, McVay relayed that the veteran tight end has been present at practices and hinted that Higbee could return later in the regular season. While Higbee remains sidelined, Colby Parkinson will continue to serve as the Rams' No. 1 tight end while Hunter Long and Davis Allen operate as the backups.

Higbee has been consistent on a yearly basis, finishing with between 521 and 734 yards the past four seasons while scoring three to five touchdowns each year. He set career highs in targets (108) and catches (72) last season but averaged only 8.6 yards per reception as one of the few pass catchers that managed to stay healthy for a battered Rams offense. The 2022 campaign highlighted an underrated trait of the 30-year-old tight end – availability; Higbee has played at least 15 games in each of his seven NFL seasons. With quarterback Matthew Stafford (neck) and star wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) both expected to return healthy this year, Higbee may end up trading quantity of targets for quality.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could miss start of 2024
Higbee could miss the start of the 2024 season after suffering a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The tight end suffered the injury late in the game on a low hit by safety Kerby Joseph. Assuming Higbee is facing roughly a nine-month recovery, he'd likely be forced to miss the first month of the 2024 season. He had one of the least productive seasons of his career in 2023, posting only two touchdowns and 495 yards, both of which were his lowest marks since 2018.
