"Fantasy Football Week 1: Rankings, Waiver Wire, and Injury Replacements"

With Cooper Kupp dealing with a hamstring injury, Tyler Higbee might become Matthew Stafford's top target in the Rams' season opener against the Seahawks. However, it's uncertain if Higbee will continue to be a must-start option beyond Week 1, as the absence of running back injuries doesn't necessarily translate to increased passing game opportunities. Despite this, Higbee is ranked as the No. 8 tight end for Week 1, ahead of other low-end TE1 options. If he performs well, it will likely be as a short-area security blanket in a high-volume passing offense.
