LA Rams TE Tyler Higbee can be an NFL top-5 TE in 2020

The LA Rams have not made much of a fuss over their tight ends since head coach Sean McVay had taken over in 2017. In fact, both Tyler Higbee, Derek Carrier, and Gerald Everett were only targeted 88 times in 2017. That number fell to 85 targets in 2018, as Carrier was swapped out for blocking tight end, Johnny Mundt. But the number of tight end passing attempts nearly doubled to 156 in 2019.
