Tyler Higbee returned from a hip injury in Week 6 to post 4 receptions, 40 yards and a TD against Baltimore, signaling a potential late-season uplift for the Rams’ passing game. After missing much of 2024 with an ACL tear, he sits at 10-102-1 through five games in 2025. McVay called him a "special and rare human" whose leadership and awareness could unlock Week 7 in London, especially with Puka Nacua limited. Higbee climbed to No. 8 on the Rams’ all-time receptions list, underscoring his veteran value as the TE corps grows.

With Nacua facing an ankle issue, Higbee could be leaned on more as LA faces Jacksonville in London. The TE room—Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson and Terrence Ferguson—appears poised for expanded opportunities, and the offense’s play-action framework should continue to feed the tight ends. A rising Higbee profile plus the Rams’ evolving TE usage presents a meaningful fantasy lever down the stretch.

Denver sits at 4-2 entering Week 7, its best mark since 2016 and a strong sign that a postseason berth is within reach in a crowded AFC. A key factor is the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Los Angeles Chargers, which currently keeps them ahead in the division race despite the Chargers also sitting at 4-2. The Chiefs and Raiders trail, with Kansas City at 3-3 and Las Vegas 2-4, while a seven-team playoff field looms: four division winners plus three wild cards. If the season ended now, Denver would be the No. 7 seed. Up next: a home date with the New York Giants in Week 7.

Across the conference, Indianapolis (5-1), Pittsburgh (4-1), the Chargers, New England (4-2), Jacksonville (4-2), Buffalo (4-2), and Denver (4-2) sit in the mix. Kansas City is currently the No. 8 seed, still capable of climbing into the playoff picture either as a division winner or a wild card. Week 7’s matchup slate and late-season calendars will determine whether Denver can sustain momentum toward January football.
