Tyler Higbee did not practise Thursday due to illness and is listed questionable for Sunday's match against Arizona. Check the inactive list about 90 minutes before the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff to confirm his availability.

Even if Higbee suits up, his recent production makes him a risky fantasy option. He has averaged 2.0 half-PPR points a game over his last three contests despite a 79% snap share, catching 1 pass in Week 9 and 1 pass in Week 8. Colby Parkinson had more touches than Higbee in Week 9, taking 4 targets on 73% of snaps against Higbee's 5 targets on 80%. The matchup against Arizona, which allows 13.4 half-PPR points a game to tight ends, the 8th most of 32, offers little reason for confidence given his recent output.

Tyler Higbee

Higbee has averaged 2.0 half-PPR points over his last three games despite a 79% snap share and 10% target share. He caught 1 pass for 13 yards on 5 targets in Week 9 against Washington for 1.8 half-PPR points, and had caught 1 pass in Week 8 as well. He is scoring 2.6 half-PPR points a game below what his usage predicts over his last three games, so his role is worth more than his recent points, but that gap has not closed.

Colby Parkinson had more touches than Higbee in Week 9, recording 4 targets on 73% of snaps. Higbee's 17% air yards share over his last three games ranks 15th of 113 tight ends, and his weighted opportunity rating over his last three games is 0.27, which ranks 32nd of 113 tight ends, but he has failed to produce despite the opportunities. A limited or full practice Friday would not guarantee he plays, and even if active against Arizona he remains a risky option given his 1.3 receptions a game over his last three contests.

What to do

• Check the inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff to see if Tyler Higbee is active.

• Bench Higbee even if he plays, as he has caught 1 pass in Week 9 and 1 pass in Week 8.

• Monitor Friday's practice report for any upgrade to limited or full participation, though that would not guarantee his availability or production.
