Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee was limited to just 23 percent of the team’s offensive snaps in the wild card round against the Minnesota Vikings due to a chest injury.
However, Higbee was able to practice this week, and he’s not listed on the Rams’ final injury report ahead of their divisional round clash with the Philadelphia Eagles.

This is great news for Los Angeles, as Higbee was heavily involved in the game plan in the wild card round. Despite playing just 12 total snaps, Higbee was targeted five times by Matthew Stafford, reeling in all five of those looks for 58 yards.
It was easily his best start to a game since he returned from a torn ACL late in the regular season, Higbee only played in three regular season games for Los Angeles, catching eight of his 12 targets for 66 yards and two scores. He didn’t play more than 41 percent of the team’s snaps in any of those games.
Now, the Rams are hoping that Higbee can help open things up for their offense against a tough Philly defense on Sunday.
Here’s a look at how to bet on him in the prop market in the divisional round.

Tyler Higbee OVER 3.5 Receptions (+125)
While this may look like a no-brainer off the bat since Higbee caught five passes in just 12 snaps, there is a reason why his receptions prop is at plus money.
First off, the Eagles allowed the fourth-fewest receptions to tight ends during the regular season. Secondly, it’s expected to be very cold and potentially snowy during the Eagles-Rams matchup, which could make it tough to throw the football.
Still, I think there is some value at +125 for Higbee to clear this prop. He had four catches in Week 18 (even though Matthew Stafford didn’t play) before turning in the five-catch showing in the wild card round.
With Cooper Kupp looking like an afterthought in this offense, I wouldn’t be shocked if Higbee is second – behind Puka Nacua – in targets this week.

Is Tyler Higbee Playing Today? (Injury Update, Betting Impact for Rams vs. Eagles)
As the Los Angeles Rams prepare to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in a crucial matchup, one key question on the minds of many fans and bettors is whether tight end Tyler Higbee will be suiting up for the game.
Higbee, who has been dealing with a hand injury, is listed as questionable for today’s game. While he has been limited in practice throughout the week, there is optimism that he will be able to play. However, his status may not be confirmed until closer to game time.
For those looking to place bets on the game, Higbee’s potential absence could have an impact on the odds. The Rams offense relies heavily on their tight end as a reliable target for quarterback Matthew Stafford. If Higbee is unable to play, it could affect the Rams’ offensive game plan and potentially impact their chances of winning.
As the game approaches, keep an eye on the injury reports for any updates on Higbee’s status. His availability could be a key factor in determining the outcome of the Rams vs. Eagles matchup. Stay tuned for more updates and analysis as game time approaches.
