Higbee brought in five of six targets for 83 yards in the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills on Monday night.
Higbee finished a distant second in receiving yards to Puka Nacua for the Rams on the night, but the figure was a season high for the veteran tight end. After a forgettable two-game stretch to open the season, Higbee has taken the lead Los Angeles' crowded tight-end room over the last three games by posting an 18-212-1 line on 23 targets. Higbee should have a good chance of retaining a solid complementary role in a Week 6 home divisional clash against the suspect Cardinals defense on Sunday.
Higbee caught five of six targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Eagles.
Higbee was the Rams' TE1 for a second consecutive week due to the absence of Colby Parkinson (shoulder/knee). Even with superstar wide receiver Puka Nacua back from a two-game absence, Higbee still finished Sunday's game tied for the second-most receiving yards on the Rams, and his six targets were fourth-most behind Kyren Williams (13), Nacua (12) and Davante Adams (nine). After a quiet start to the season, Higbee has a 13-129-1 receiving line on 17 targets over his last two games. Higbee may have shown enough to warrant an established role in the Rams' offense moving forward, even if Parkinson is cleared to return for Week 5 against the Bills.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
Higbee caught eight of 11 targets for 62 yards and a touchdown during Sunday night's 30-26 loss to the Broncos.
Higbee went from having no targets in Week 2 to leading the team with eight catches while finishing second only to wide receiver Davante Adams (13) in targets one week later. The tight end reeled in his first touchdown of the year to cap off the team's second possession of the game, connecting with quarterback Matthew Stafford for a five-yard score. Higbee may have seen the added opportunities as a result of fellow tight end Terrance Ferguson sustaining an ankle injury in the first quarter, but Ferguson was able to return to action. Higbee will have a chance to prove that his performance wasn't an anomaly when the team hosts Philadelphia in Week 4.
Higbee secured both of his targets for 12 yards in the Rams' 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Week 1.
Higbee played just 12 offensive snaps and ran only five routes on 28 dropbacks by the Rams. He was well behind both Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson in terms of playing time and routes at tight end for Los Angeles. Higbee would need an injury ahead of him to gain fantasy relevance.
Higbee and the Rams agreed on a two-year, $8 million contract Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Higbee, who's been on injured reserve since Nov. 19 due to an ankle issue, finished the practice week without setbacks and is expected to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Higbee was able to practice without limitations again Friday, which Barshop had reported was one of the prerequisites to the veteran tight end eventually being activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's contest. Higbee also put in full sessions Wednesday and Thursday, so he appears set to get some valuable reps ahead of the Rams' first postseason game during the wild-card round.
