Now that free agency, the NFL Draft, and the schedule release have all passed, we have our initial layout in place in team depth charts and strength of schedule. With that, we want to take a look at some players across the fantasy landscape that are either polarizing, over or undervalued, or just interesting topics of discussion and walk through some of the pros and cons of where those players are regarded in fantasy circles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This week, we have taken a dive into <\/span>Kenyan Drake<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>Austin Ekeler<\/b><\/a>, and <\/span>Marquise Brown<\/b><\/a>. Today, we are jumping into <\/span>Tyler Higbee<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using the Dynasty ADP app available at <\/span>RotoViz<\/span><\/a>, Higbee is now the richest he has ever been in his career thanks to a league-winning, end-of-season flurry of fantasy points to close the 2019 season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Through 10 weeks, the season was going par for the course for Higbee. Over his first nine games during those weeks, Higbee had corralled 21-of-27 targets for 192 yards and a touchdown while running just 95 pass routes total. The primary blocking tight end for the Rams, Higbee served counter to his teammate <\/span>Gerald Everett<\/b>, who had reeled in 34-of-57 targets for 365 yards and two scores while running 228 pass routes over that same span.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then two things completely flipped the season heading into Week 11. Everett entered that week questionable with a wrist injury and the Rams completely altered their offensive game plan and philosophy. With a struggling offensive line and Everett banged up, the Rams went to a heavier personnel base, using 12 personnel (one running back, two tight ends, and two wide receivers) on 32 (76%) of their offensive snaps. Up until that point of the season, the Rams were primarily an offense with three wide receivers on the field at all times, running just 58 plays total (12%) in 12 personnel through 10 weeks. For the remainder of the season, it was a larger component of their offense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
