Rams TE Tyler Higbee is the only tight end with more drops than catches among players with at least one catch this season.
The Rams used a lot of draft capital to trade up for Jared Goff (who hasn’t yet seen the field), meaning they only have mid- to late-round draft picks and undrafted rookies on the roster outside of the QB position. Plenty of those rookies have seen minimal playing time, with Higbee getting the most, at 37.3 percent of Los Angeles’ snaps. He’s been their second tight end, but has only caught one of the six passes thrown his way. If there’s a game for him to start making an impact, though, it’s against Detroit. Tahir Whitehead has played the most snaps at linebacker for Detroit, and he has the second-lowest coverage grade among linebackers this year.
