  • One target in losing effort

    Everett caught one pass for five yards in the Bears' 29-9 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Analysis: Everett has one game with more than five yards this season. Given the veteran's low-volume role in the offense, Everett has very little fantasy value at this time.

  • Targeted twice in defeat

    Everett caught one pass for three yards in the Bears' 18-15 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

    Analysis: Everett has caught six passes for 25 yards in seven games this season. Unless the tight end's role changes significantly, it will be tough for Everett to pile up strong fantasy numbers.

  • Best game of season

    Everett caught two passes for 22 yards in the Bears' 36-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Everett came into this contest having caught three passes for zero yards, so his 22-yard performance may not be a sign of things to come. As the Bears' second tight end behind Cole Kmet, Everett could have a game with no catches at any time unless his role in the offense changes.

  • Blanked in defeat

    Everett failed to corral his lone target in the Bears' 21-16 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: Through three games, Everett has caught three passes for zero yards on five targets. Unless his role significantly changes, the tight end will retain minimal fantasy value.

  • Three targets in loss

    Everett caught two passes for one yard in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

    Analysis: After playing more snaps than teammate Cole Kmet in Week 1, Everett was scaled back to a 36 percent snap share in Week 2. On the season, Everett has three catches for zero yards. Everett's lack of yardage per catch makes him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

  • Hauls in lone target

    Everett lost one yard on one reception in the Bears' 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Everett matched fellow tight end Cole Kmet with a single target while Caleb Williams attempted 29 passes. Until the tight end sees a consistent increase in opportunity, his fantasy value may be minimal.

  • Targeted four times

    Everett caught two of four targets for 10 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Everett got a lot of playing time on the first-team offense for a second straight week, including as the lone tight end in three-wide formations. Everett's usage has led to concern about Cole Kmet failing to match his near-every-down role from the past three season, but even if that happens, it's unlikely Everett would get enough snaps/routes to achieve mainstream fantasy utility of his own.

  • Activated off NFI list

    The Bears activated Everett (undisclosed) off the active/non-football injury list Sunday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Everett landed on the NFI list Friday due to an undisclosed issue, but the matter was apparently minor, as he's coming off the list two days later. With his activation, the veteran will be eligible to practice with the team. Everett is slated to work as the Bears' backup at tight end behind Cole Kmet this season.

  • Lands on NFI list

    The Bears placed Everett (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Friday, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.

    Analysis: Everett suffered a knee issue Week 18 last season with the Chargers, but placement on the NFI list is an indication that his current injury is unrelated. He's eligible to be activated t at any point this summer. Everett figures to work behind Cole Kmet for Chicago this season, and with a trio of notable wideouts atop the depth chart in DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze, it's difficult to imagine much receiving work will be left over for the No. 2 tight end.

  • Joining Chicago

    Everett (knee) and the Bears are in agreement on a contract, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: One of the better receiving options among a weak free-agent class of tight ends, Everett is linking up with a Bears team that already has a proven starter in Cole Kmet, who is coming off a 719-yard, six-TD season. Everett could take some of the snaps in obvious passing situations given that he's probably a bit quicker and more agile, though Kmet is taller, heavier, stronger and has a better track record of receiving production. The Bears may have a lot of two-TE formations in mind, especially…read more

  • Ho-hum season as pass catcher

    Everett, who was forced out of Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Chiefs due to a knee injury, finished the 2023 campaign with 51 catches (on 70 targets) for 411 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games.

    Analysis: The Chargers haven't released any official information regarding the severity of Everett's injury, so it's fair to expect that the veteran tight end should be healthy ahead of next season. The 29-year-old wrapped up his seventh year in the NFL with solid figures given his role essentially as a safety blanket for QB Justin Herbert, as he never recorded more than 50 receiving yards in a single game despite seven contests with at least four receptions. Everett is eligible to become an unrestricted…read more

  • Inefficient with nine targets

    Everett finished with four receptions on nine targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 16-9 loss to Denver.

    Analysis: Everett surpassed the season high of eight targets that he had seen over the Chargers' last three contests, but he wound up finishing Sunday's loss with the lowest reception and yardage total of any game from that span. The veteran tight end wasn't the only player to struggle for a team that failed to score a touchdown against the now 8-8 Broncos. Everett and the rest of his teammates will look to end the season on a high note if they can upset the Chiefs in Week 18.

    Everett caught seven of eight targets for 42 yards in Saturday's 24-22 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Everett set a new high-water mark for receptions this season after leading the Chargers with seven grabs Saturday. The veteran tight end has now seen eight targets in each of his last three contests, producing averages of 5.7 receptions and 40.7 yards over that span. Everett should continue providing useful PPR numbers when the Chargers visit the Broncos on Dec. 31.

  • Team-high catch total Thursday

    Everett brought in five of eight targets for 41 yards in the Chargers' 63-21 loss to the Raiders on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Everett finished with a team-high reception total for the Chargers in the lopsided loss, with his enhanced participation partly the byproduct of Keenan Allen's (heel) absence. The veteran tight end actually has back-to-back five-catch tallies, and he hasn't recorded less than four receptions since being blanked against the Lions in Week 10. Everett figures to continue enjoying a solid role in a Week 16 home battle against the Bills on Saturday, Dec. 23, particularly if Allen remains sidelined…read more

  • Cleared for Thursday

    Everett (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game at Las Vegas.

    Analysis: Everett is one of the many Chargers with a larger target share projection now that Keenan Allen (heel) has been ruled out for Week 15, albeit in the context of an offense featuring Easton Stick at quarterback instead of franchise signal-caller Justin Herbert (finger), who has been shut down for the season. Everett should be ready to handle his usual role as the Chargers' top tight end after he was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Though he'll be facing a quick turnaround with the Chargers set to face the Raiders on Thursday, the tight end will most likely be able to play through the hip issue.

The 29-year-old continued to receive the bulk of tight-end work with 31 more snaps than Donald Parham and was a safety outlet with four targets from both quarterback Justin Herbert before exiting the outing (toe), and backup Easton Stick who replaced him.

    Everett snared four of his five targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 6-0 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Everett's 26-yard catch and run in the first quarter was the third-longest reception by either side in a game mucked down by miserable rainy conditions. The veteran has been a reliable safety valve for quarterback Justin Herbert all season, as he has at least three receptions in all but four games to date; however, he's hasn't managed to eclipse 50 yards to this point.

  • Scores in return from injury

    Everett (chest) pulled in all four of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Everett's status for Sunday Night Football was truly questionable due to a chest injury until he was eventually cleared for action on the morning of game day. Fantasy managers rocking the veteran tight end have to be pleased with the way things unfolded, as they were rewarded with the only touchdown reception recorded by a Charger on Sunday. Everett boosted his season receiving line up to 25/211/3 heading into next Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Everett exited early in Week 10 and sat out Week 11, but he's ready to return in Week 12. Donald Parham and Stone Smartt should continue to see playing time alongside Everett, but Everett has been Los Angeles' top pass catcher at tight end when available, with a team-high average of 3.4 targets per game in eight appearances.

    Analysis: Everett was also limited Wednesday, so the tight end may need to log a full session Friday in order to avoid approaching Sunday night's contest against the Ravens with an injury designation.

Outside of two touchdown grabs in eight appearances this season, he's been contained to 21 receptions on 27 targets for 167 yards.

    Analysis: Everett certainly looked spry after missing the previous week with a hip injury, rumbling forward on a broken checkdown pass for 17 yards in the first half. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the Jets offense hardly put up a fight, and the team attempted its second-fewest pass attempts (30) of the 2023 campaign, relegating Everett to an afterthought in this one.

Through six games, Everett has put up a 19-149-2 line on 23 targets, a pace that limits his fantasy utility to deeper formats, though it's worth noting that the 2017 second-rounder has found the end zone in each of his last two outings.

  • Catches six targets

    Everett caught all six of his targets for 30 yards in the 28-24 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: Everett acted as an extension of the running game, with quarterback Justin Herbert dumping the ball off a number of times to his veteran tight end. Everett (38 snaps) and Donald Parham (34 snaps) continue to split playing time relatively evenly, but it was the latter who has posed a significant threat in the red zone, catching two short touchdowns Sunday. Expect Everett to continue to be a reliable, albeit unremarkable, fantasy option in a Chargers offense that has leaned heavily on wideouts…read more

  • Less snaps in loss

    Everett recorded three receptions (on three targets) for 47 yards in the 27-24 overtime loss to the Titans on Sunday.

    Analysis: One week after seeing backup Donald Parham make the most of his opportunities, Everett's control on the starting role returned to normalcy, showcasing his skills as pass catcher on a 29-yard reception that helped sustain a scoring drive for the Chargers in the third quarter. Those passing numbers gloss over the fact Parham played more snaps (34) than Everett (28), and that's not factoring in third-stringer Stone Smartt (22), who also saw plenty of opportunities. With the Chargers sitting at 0-2…read more

  • Just two catches

    Everett caught two of his three targets for 21 yards in the 36-34 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: Everett wasn't used much, as Justin Herbert rarely needed to check down or find a safety net, but it was interesting to see backup tight end Donald Parham get plenty of work in tallying three catches for 21 yards and a touchdown. It's unlikely the veteran Everett will be phased out of the offense entirely, but Parham's size (6-foot-8) and speed could make him an attractive candidate for more playing time.

  • Back at practice

    Everett (illness) returned to practice Tuesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Everett didn't participate in Sunday's scrimmage due to an illness, but the Chargers' top tight end is back on the field as the team's preseason opener approaches. The 29-year-old is coming off a 2022 campaign in which he recorded a career-best 58 catches on 87 targets for 555 yards and four TDs in 16 games. As long as he remains healthy, Everett merits fantasy consideration while working in a passing offense led by Justin Herbert.

  • Dealing with illness

    Everett didn't participate in Sunday's scrimmage due to an illness, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Everett was one of several Chargers missing from Sunday's practice session due to an illness, but it seems unlikely that the issue will impact his regular-season availability. However, it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up for Saturday's preseason opener against the Rams.

  • Steps up in playoff loss

    Everett recorded six receptions on eight targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 31-30 wild-card round loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: The Chargers' group of pass catchers was depleted, as Mike Williams (back) was inactive while DeAndre Carter suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter. That led to increased opportunity for Everett, who tallied his first 100-yard performance of the season. He accounted for four of the team's five longest gains from scrimmage, including two catches of 25 yards. Everett also added a nine-yard touchdown midway through the second quarter.

  • Another touchdown in Week 18

    Everett secured three of five targets for eight yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

    Analysis: Everett offset a minuscule yardage total with a three-yard scoring grab early in the second quarter, his second touchdown in as many games. Everett didn't top 42 receiving yards in any of his last four games and failed to exceed that mark in seven of the last eight overall, but he could play a larger role in Saturday's wild-card road matchup against the Jaguars if Mike Williams is limited or sidelined by the back injury that forced his early exit Sunday.

  • Catches touchdown in win

    Everett recorded three receptions on three targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Keenan Allen and Mike Williams accounted for the majority of the targets from Justin Herbert, leaving minimal opportunity for Everett and other peripheral pass catchers. However, Everett got a target near the goal line and converted that into a six-yard touchdown to put the Chargers up 24-10. It was his first trip to the end zone since Week 4, though Everett still has seen his role decrease in recent weeks due to the return of both Williams and Allen.

  • No targets in win

    Everett failed to draw a target in Monday's 20-3 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: After three straight games with six or more targets, Everett's usage plummeted with little resistance posed by the opposing offense. Typically, Everett has been Justin Herbert's reliable safety net, but the Colts could not contain Keenan Allen, as the reliable wideout drew 10-plus targets in the first half alone. It's possible the offense could play within itself once more in a date with the inconsistent Rams next week.

  • Solid outing in win

    Everett corralled four of his six targets for 42 yards in the 17-14 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Even with the return of Donald Parham (hamstring) from injured reserve, Everett continued to be Justin Herbert's safety valve, as Sunday saw the veteran tally his eighth game with at least four catches in his past 10 contests. Everett's yards-per-catch figures (10.2) are far from spectacular, but he's been a reliable option in a positional fantasy landscape that has been anything but. Expect a similar output in a critical game against the Colts next week.

  • Piles up targets

    Everett caught five of his eight targets for 28 yards in the 23-17 win Sunday over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Everett was primarily used for short-yardage dump-offs with the likes of Mike Williams and Keenan Allen stretching the field. It's encouraging to see the tight end still rack up the targets despite the return of Williams, but it's hard to imagine Everett really emerging as an obvious fantasy asset with an average depth of target under eight yards in three of the past five weeks.

  • Sets season-high figures

    Everett caught five of his six targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Everett recorded the second-most receiving yards on the Chargers despite just six targets as the Raiders seemed content letting the tight end work the middle of the field. The 28-year-old is easily on pace to surpass both his career high in receiving yards (478) and receptions (48) set last year with the Seahawks, but he's failed to be much of a touchdown threat with just two total on the year. It's hard to imagine the veteran copying his season-high figures in future weeks due to the limited…read more

  • Quiet against Cardinals

    Everett recorded four receptions on four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Cardinals. He also converted a two-point conversion.

    Analysis: Everett was not targeted until early in the third quarter, and he was having an abysmal game until late in the final quarter. However, he tallied two receptions for 13 yards during the Chargers' touchdown drive late in the game, and he then caught the game-winning two-point conversion. Everett has recorded multiple receptions in five consecutive games, though he's topped 40 yards only once in that span.

  • Gets in full session

    Everett (groin) practiced fully Thursday.

    Analysis: Everett, who was inactive for this past Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, thus is on track to return to action this weekend against the 4-7 Cardinals, who gave up two TDs to TE George Kittle in a Week 11 loss to the 49ers. Through nine appearances to date, Everett has put together a 34-364-2 line on 55 targets, a rate of production that provides the 28-year-old with lineup utility in deeper fantasy formats.

    Everett (groin) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Everett was inactive for this past Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, but his ability to practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited fashion -- suggests that he has a chance to return to action this weekend against the Cardinals. In his absence last week, Tre' McKitty, Richard Rodgers and Stone Smartt served as the Chargers' tight end, but no members of the trio possess Everett's pass-catching upside.

    Analysis: Everett missed Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs, but the tight end's ability to practice Wednesday bodes well for his chances of suiting up this weekend against the Cardinals. In his absence Week 11, Tre' McKitty, Richard Rodgers and Stone Smartt handled the Chargers' tight-end snaps, but Smartt was the only one to log a target.

    Everett (groin) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: After initially approaching the weekend without an injury designation, Everett was downgraded to questionable Saturday, setting the stage for him to sit this one out. In his absence, Tre' McKitty, Richard Rodgers and Stone Smartt are available to handle the Chargers' tight end duties, with McKitty -- who caught three of his six targets for 21 yards in relief of Everett in Week 10 versus the 49ers -- seemingly poised to see an expanded role again.

    Everett (groin) was added to Saturday's injury report and is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Everett failed to make it through the second quarter of Sunday's loss to the 49ers after sustaining a groin injury. The veteran tight practiced all week and was eventually cleared of the injury report, so Saturday's designation should be concerning for fantasy managers. The Chargers also activated undrafted rookie tight end Stone Smartt (undisclosed) off the NFI list, another move that could spell Everett's absence.

That said, he was able to handle every rep to round out Week 11 prep, clearing him to suit up as L.A.'s top tight end this weekend.

  • Deemed day-to-day

    Coach Brandon Staley termed Everett (groin) day-to-day Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Everett made an early exit from Sunday's loss at San Francisco due to a groin injury, finishing with two catches on two targets for 23 yards. In his previous eight appearances this season, he was good for at least a 57 percent share of snaps and averaged 6.6 targets per game, taking advantage of injuries to Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle). The health of all three will be crucial for the Chargers as they gear up for Sunday's NFC West showdown with Kansas City.

  • Return to SNF questionable

    Everett (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Everett caught both of his targets for 23 yards prior to exiting in the second quarter. He's yet another notable pass catcher to get hurt in a Chargers passing game that's already without wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring), Mike Williams (ankle) and Jalen Guyton (knee).

  • Another five-catch game

    Everett caught five of eight targets for 36 yards and added one rushing attempt for no gain in Sunday's 20-17 win over Atlanta.

    Analysis: Everett notched a third consecutive five-catch performance but didn't make much of an impact otherwise. He has drawn 24 targets over the past three games and should continue to see plenty of looks from Justin Herbert in Week 10 against the 49ers, especially if Keenan Allen (hamstring) and/or Mike Williams (ankle) remain sidelined.

  • Five catches in Sunday's loss

    Everett caught five of nine targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 37-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: The tight end tied Mike Williams for second on the Chargers in targets, but Everett's production was fairly modest relative to that volume. It's still the fourth time in the last six games he's hauled in at least five passes, and he should remain a key secondary piece in the offense coming out of a Week 8 bye -- especially if the ankle injury Williams suffered in the fourth quarter Sunday proves to be serious.

    Analysis: Everett sat out Wednesday's practice, but his return to a full session Thursday puts him on track to lead the Chargers' tight end corps Sunday against the Seahawks. It's a role that has resulted in Everett logging a 22/242/2 stat line on 36 targets through his first six games with Los Angeles, a rate of production that gives the 28-year-old a degree of weekly fantasy lineup utility.

Fantasy managers might just have to chalk this one up to fluky game script, but with Keenan Allen (hamstring) theoretically expected to return shortly, it's possible the tight end could see fewer opportunities over the coming weeks.

He'll be welcoming back fellow tight end Donald Parham (hamstring) to the lineup for the first time this season, so Everett's snap share could take a hit.

    Everett (hamstring) was limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Everett was listed as a full participant Wednesday, so it's possible the tight end tweaked his hamstring during Thursday's session. Either way, his status now is worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. If Everett ends up out or limited this weekend, Donald Parham (hamstring) is a candidate to help fill in, having practiced fully so far this week after missing the Chargers' first four games.

    Analysis: Everett got off to a quick start by capping the Chargers' first offensive drive with an 18-yard touchdown catch. That was his longest reception of the day, though he also managed 16 and 14-yard catches to account for the majority of his production. Though he struggled in Week 3, Everett has at least 50 receiving yards in three of his first four games as a Charger.

    Analysis: After two straight games with 50-plus receiving yards, Everett fell back down to earth on an overall dreary day for the Chargers offense. The veteran tight end has 20 targets through three weeks, which ranks second behind Joshua Palmer among the team's pass catchers, but Keenan Allen (hamstring) has also been absent each of the last two contests.

Unfortunately, the veteran tight end's night will mostly be remembered for a momentum-changing play in the contest.

    Everett registered three receptions (on four targets) for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Everett's touchdown came on an extended play as quarterback Justin Herbert found the big target in a one-on-one situation and the 28-year-old responded, muscling his way into the end zone for an 18-yard score. Everett was a bit of an unheralded offseason addition, but the Chargers have grinded out fantasy productive tight ends such as Hunter Henry and Jared Cook in past seasons, so it shouldn't be a surprise to see the former Seahawk have a successful team debut.

He appeared in 15 games for the Seahawks and hauled in 48 of 63 targets for 478 yards and four touchdowns while rushing three times for 20 yards.

Everett finishes the season with 48 receptions for 478 yards and four touchdowns on 63 targets -- a catch rate of 76.2 percent at 7.6 yards per target, which is quite efficient per-target production.

The tight end's third-quarter TD gave Seattle a 24-14 lead, but the defense faltered in the fourth. Everett is finding some chemistry with Wilson late in his first season with the club, scoring three touchdowns in the last five games, giving him some fantasy appeal in a Week 17 clash with the Lions.

  • Scores third touchdown

    Everett caught both of his targets for 15 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for 13 yards in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Everett (35 snaps) was out-snapped by Will Dissly (39) for the first time since Week 6. Although the Seahawks won by 20 points, the game wasn't actually put away until the fourth quarter, so perhaps Everett saw fewer reps after losing two fumbles in the Week 13 win over the 49ers. Nevertheless, he scored for the third time this season. Everett will continue to be a touchdown-dependant fantasy option against the Rams -- his former team -- next week.

Still, the fifth-year tight end has logged at least 75 percent of the offensive snaps in four straight games while Will Dissly hasn't handled more than 53 percent of the snaps in that stretch.

The tight end then proceeded to lead his team in targets while tying for the most receptions, making for a busy evening.

    Everett (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Though the groin injury prevented Everett from practicing Wednesday and Thursday, the Seahawks were comfortable enough with his health coming out of Friday's session to give him the green light for the Week 11 matchup. At least for one game, Seattle's top tight end was the main beneficiary of Russell Wilson's (finger) return from a four-week absence in last week's 17-0 loss to the Packers. Everett set new season highs in receptions (eight), receiving yards (63) and targets (eight) in that game.

  • Another DNP on Thursday

    Everett (groin) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: With back-to-back absences to open Week 11 prep, Everett doesn't appear to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals. Fortunately for the fifth-year pro, he has one more session to mix into individual drills (or more) before the Seahawks tab him with a designation. If Everett ends up missing his third game of the season, Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson will cover for him at tight end, while Tyler Mabry and Ryan Izzo would be candidates for elevation from the…read more

  • Tending to groin injury

    Everett was unable to practice Wednesday due to a groin injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Aside from sitting out Weeks 4 and 5 after contracting COVID-19, Everett has been healthy this season and earned at least 70 percent of offensive snaps in five of his seven appearances with the Seahawks. The results have been hit or miss on his way to a 22-198-1 receiving line on 25 targets. Everett is coming off season highs in catches (eight) and yards (63) during Sunday's loss at Green Bay, but he now is dealing with an injury. The fifth-year tight end has two more chances this week to…read more

  • Busy in loss

    Everett caught eight passes on eight targets for 63 yards against Green Bay on Sunday.

    Analysis: Everett wasn't explosive, but he was automatic with his targets and was the sole means of moving the chains for Seattle on Sunday. Part of that was due to the poor play of Russell Wilson (finger) -- DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett were both shut down by Wilson's inaccuracy, and that probably funneled some usage toward Everett. He'll try to keep the momentum going against Arizona in Week 11.

  • Two touches in win

    Everett caught one of two targets for seven yards and rushed once for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Everett out-snapped Will Dissly 44-36 but failed to get involved much on offense. The 2017 second-round pick only produced 77 yards and a touchdown over three games even with Russell Wilson (finger) under center, so his lack of production lately likely isn't a factor of working with Geno Smith. Still, Wilson's possible Week 10 return would raise the ceiling of all Seattle pass-catchers.

  • Rings up 23 yards

    Everett caught all three of his targets for 11 yards and rushed once for 12 yards in Monday's 13-10 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: The Seahawks leaned heavily on the ground game, rushing the ball 28 times compared to just 22 passing attempts, so Will Dissly out-snapped Everett 40-33 due to his superior blocking ability. However, Dissly didn't receive a target. Everett has now produced 13 receptions (15 targets) for 128 yards and a touchdown through five games.

    Analysis: Everett returned from the reserve/COVID-19 list and finished second in total receiving yards for Seattle on a night during which Geno Smith struggled to move the ball downfield. Will Dissly (two catches, eight yards and a touchdown) wound up getting the lone receiving touchdown for Seattle, which is unfortunate for those who deployed Everett. It may be a rough go of things for the Seahawks' passing attack until Russell Wilson (finger) returns from IR, so there may be better options than Everett…read more

    Everett (illness) tested negative twice for COVID-19 in advance of Thursday's game against the Rams, but the results didn't come through in time for the NFL to approve him to play, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: Everett needed to test negative twice 24 hours apart to be eligible for activation from the reserve/COVID-19 list. Apparently, he just missed out on doing so and will miss a second consecutive contest as a result. Everett will have plenty of time to get back on the active roster with the Seahawks' next outing not coming until Oct. 17 at Pittsburgh. In the meantime, Will Dissly is expected to pace the Seattle tight ends in snaps.

    Everett (illness) has a chance to play in Thursday's game against the Rams, but he'll need to test negative for COVID-19 on one more occasion before he's eligible for activation, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Everett was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list last Wednesday and missed Sunday's win over the 49ers. In his absence, Will Dissly played 82 percent of the offensive snaps and Colby Parkinson took 68 percent, though neither did much damage in the passing game. The Seahawks are tentatively expecting Everett back for Thursday, though his availability wasn't made official at the conclusion of Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Everett landed on the COVID list last Wednesday after testing positive, but because he's vaccinated, he only needs to test negative again Tuesday to return to the active roster. Of course, if he doesn't, he'll have to do so Wednesday and Thursday to give himself a chance to suit up Week 5.

He'll now need back-to-back negatives starting Saturday, which Carroll apparently considers unlikely. The Seahawks are expected to bring Colby Parkinson (foot) back from IR this week, but Will Dissly is the safer bet for snaps (and a few targets) if Everett doesn't end up playing.

  • Five catches against Vikings

    Everett caught all five of his targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: After managing only three catches for 23 yards on four targets through his first two games as a Seahawk -- albeit with a touchdown -- Everett was more involved as a receiver in Minnesota. DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are entrenched as Russell Wilson's top options, but the tight end could emerge as a reliable No. 3 target for Seattle. The 1-2 squad will face another test in Week 4 on the road against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Everett logged 43 offensive snaps (80 percent) while fellow tight end Will Dissly finished with 26 snaps (48 percent). Dissly didn't receive a target, as Week 2 was the latest example of how difficult it is to trust a Seattle pass-catcher besides Tyler Lockett or DK Metcalf.

    Everett caught both of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Everett caught a quick slant for a nine-yard touchdown on the second drive of the game. The former Ram wasn't targeted the rest of the day, while fellow tight end Will Dissly finished with three catches for 37 yards. The Seahawks lost two of their five wide receivers -- Dee Eskridge and Penny Hart -- to concussions in the season opener, so Everett may be counted on more in Week 2 against the Titans if neither player is cleared in time.

    Analysis: The offseason acquisition saw minimal action come his way after not playing in the loss to the Raiders last Saturday. Despite not having shown much yet in a Seahawks uniform, Everett is expected to serve as the top tight end on a depth chart that also includes Will Dissly, who's shown flashes in his first three seasons, and 2020 fourth-round pick Colby Parkinson (foot).

    Analysis: Per Liz Matthews of USA Today, Carroll indicated that Everett has brought some added speed and route-running ability to the position the Seahawks have been lacking. Everett will have to contend with Will Dissly for reps, but he'll likely be the favorite to stay on the field in single-tight-end sets given the team's investment in him this offseason.

    Seattle signed Everett to a one-year contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Seahawks have had plenty of opportunities to evaluate Everett over the last four years, given that he spent those seasons with a division rival over in Los Angeles. Everett was never quite able to establish himself as a consistent fantasy option with the Rams while sharing reps with Tyler Higbee, though he did flash potential -- including a career game against Seattle back in 2019, when he recorded seven catches for 136 yards on 11 targets.

The 26-year-old tight end flashed big-play potential with 17 of his 127 career receptions going for over 20 yards, but he still never fully capitalized on his opportunities or took advantage of his athletic gifts.

However, the Rams only attempted 25 passes all game, so there weren't a lot of looks to go around.

However, Everett still wasn't able to take the next step and become a reliable fantasy asset in most settings, and he's a long shot to make a major statistical impact in the wild-card matchup against Seattle.

Quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) underwent surgery Monday, and backup QB John Walford hasn't played a competitive game since the 2019 preseason.

    Everett caught two of his four targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jets. He played 47 of 59 offensive snaps despite needing to be evaluated for a head injury and missing the end of the first half.

    Analysis: It's probably best not to read too much into Everett's or the Rams' performance Sunday. The fourth-year tight end was off the field for a spell, and Los Angeles was upset at home as a 17.5-point favorite. Still, it likely will be pretty tough to turn to Everett confidently outside of deep fantasy settings Week 16, even with it being a potentially soft matchup against Seattle.

There were only scraps left over for the rest of the Los Angeles offense. Everett did chip in with a few nice blocks to set Akers up, though.

However, Everett did nearly score a touchdown after taking a 16-yard reception to Seattle's 1-yard line. Running back Darrell Henderson scored on the next play.

Still, the Rams' tight end situation will need to be watched closely this week with Tyler Higbee still tending to a painful hand contusion. While Higbee was sidelined for Monday's win over the Bears, Everett logged a season-best 76 percent of the offensive snaps en route to four catches (on five targets) for 28 yards and one touchdown.

That marked Everett's first score of this season, and his five targets also set a new high for this year. It's worth noting that reserve tight end Johnny Mundt finished with three grabs for 47 yards Monday, but Everett still figures to benefit most should Higbee miss more time, with a Week 8 matchup in Miami next on the schedule.

    Analysis: After missing practice time this week and being questionable ahead of Sunday's contest with a back injury, it wasn't surprising to see Everett have a quiet showing against the Eagles. However, after fellow tight end Tyler Higbee erupted for three touchdowns and caught all five of his targets Sunday, Everett's fantasy stock is probably trending even further in the wrong direction.

  • Ready to roll Week 2

    Everett (back) is listed as active Sunday at Philadelphia, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Everett kicked off Week 2 preparations with a DNP on Wednesday, only to practice in a limited capacity Thursday and bump up to full Friday. Still, the Rams gave the tight end a questionable designation. Fortunately for Everett, he'll be out there Sunday, but his snap share again will be distant second to No. 1 TE Tyler Higbee. While playing 24 of 73 offensive plays in L.A.'s season-opening win against the Cowboys, Everett reeled in one of two targets for seven yards.

  • Should play Sunday

    Everett (back) is on track to play Sunday against the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Everett is officially considered questionable, but coach Sean McVay said Friday he expects him to play and that doesn't appear to have changed heading into Sunday. The 26-year-old likely will still need to be cleared via a pregame workout before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but he's currently expected to play in Philadelphia.

  • Listed as questionable, should play

    Everett (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Philadelphia, but coach Sean McVay said he expects the tight end to play, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Everett suffered his injury in a Week 1 win over Dallas, catching one of two targets for seven yards on 33 percent snap share before he left the game. His role doesn't appear to offer much promise for fantasy purposes, but he still has value to the Rams for two-TE formations. Confirmation of his Week 2 availability may have to wait until Sunday morning when the Rams release their inactive list before a 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Elevates to limited Thursday

    Everett (back) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

    Analysis: Prior to the session, coach Sean McVay told Eric D. Williams of SI.com that he expected Everett to take part in some capacity after sitting out Wednesday due to a bruise on his lower back, an injury that isn't believed to be a concern in the long term. Friday's practice report will be telling for Everett's Week 2 availability.

  • No practice Wednesday

    Everett (back) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: While he got the start Week 1 against the Cowboys, Everett played second fiddle to Tyler Higbee, earning 24 offensive snaps to the latter's 65 (out of 73 total). Everett incurred a back injury in the second half, though, so the breakdown of work is understandable. On Monday, coach Sean McVay didn't consider any of the Rams' health concerns to be serious, but just two days later, Everett was unable to take any reps on the practice field. Everett has two more days to put himself in a position to…read more

  • Back injury not 'significant'

    Coach Sean McVay said the Rams emerged from Sunday's 20-17 win against the Cowboys with "no significant injuries," which includes Everett (back), Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Everett left the game in the second half with a back issue, which contained him to 24 of 73 of the team's snaps on offense (33 percent) and one catch (on two targets) for seven yards. The Rams will take the practice field Wednesday, at which point the tight end's status could receive some clarity.

    Everett is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Dallas due to a back injury, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Everett caught one of two targets for seven yards prior to getting injured. If the tight end is unable to return to this one, he'll set his sights on getting back on the field for the Rams' Week 2 trip to Philadelphia.

  • Rams shut down trade calls

    The Rams received multiple calls inquiring about the availability of Everett, but the team declined to entertain them, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Everett is in the final year of his rookie contract, and while it's probably safe to say his tenure with the Rams has been a disappointment since being selected in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft, there have been plenty of promising signs from the athletic tight end. Everett has flashed big-play potential in limited playing time over the past three years with 14 receptions going for more than 20 yards and seven touchdowns on only 142 targets. Additionally, the Rams are expected to…read more

  • Still valued by McVay

    Coach Sean McVay believes he can do a better job utilizing Everett in the Rams offense, Cameron DaSilva of Rams Wire reports. "Really, really excited about what Gerald Everett's going to do," McVay said Monday. "I think Tyler Higbee did a phenomenal job, but I think Gerald Everett's a guy that I've got to do a better job of utilizing his skill set because he's a difference-maker."

    Analysis: Everett appeared on track for his long-awaited breakout as recently as early November, averaging 55.6 yards and 8.2 targets over a five-game stretch Weeks 5-10. He slowed down over the next couple games and then suffered a knee injury, opening the door for Tyler Higbee to go wild in December. Higbee is now locked in as the Rams' No. 1 tight end in the first season of a four-year, $29 million extension, but Everett could also see a decent share of snaps and targets if McVay increases his usage…read more

  • Hardly plays over final weeks

    Everett didn't play an offensive snap during Sunday's 31-24 win over Arizona. He did see the field for two special-teams snaps.

    Analysis: The third-year tight end appeared to be headed for a breakout campaign with 18 receptions for 239 yards and two touchdowns during Weeks 4 through 7, but then a wrist injury cut into his practice time and hurt his production. Everett then sustained a knee injury in late November, which kept him out Weeks 13 through 15 before playing just four offensive snaps over the final two games of the year. Making matters worse, fellow tight end Tyler Higbee emerged as a go-to option in the passing attack…read more

  • Eased back in against 49ers

    Everett failed to catch his only target and played just four offensive snaps during Saturday's 34-31 loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: It's been a disappointing campaign for Everett, and especially over the past few weeks. Just when it looked like everything was coming together for the athletic tight end, he sustained a knee injury in mid-November, which eventually sidelined him for three weeks. Additionally, fellow tight end Tyler Higbee has stepped up with four consecutive games of at least 100 receiving yards. With nothing on the line in Week 17, it wouldn't be surprising if Everett was once again scarcely involved in the…read more

    Analysis: When Everett was absent Weeks 13 through 15, he didn't step foot on the practice field at all, instead focusing on rehab of his knee injury. On this occasion, he was limited Tuesday before wrapping up the week with back-to-back uncapped sessions. After Thursday's practice, coach Sean McVay said the tight "will be OK to go" this weekend, but it remains to be seen what kind of role he'll be afforded.

    Analysis: During his three-game absence, Everett didn't practice in any fashion ahead of those contests, so his activity Wednesday is as positive of a sign as any that he's put his hyperextended knee behind him. Afterward, coach Sean McVay spoke of Everett. "We're just kind of feeling it out," McVay told Thiry. "Part of that, too, is as we complete the game plan and kind of figure out exactly what that looks like and what his involvement would be, if he is feeling good enough." In the end, there's a…read more

  • Ruled out again

    Everett (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Dallas.

    Analysis: Everett hasn't been able to practice since he hyperextended his knee in a Week 12 loss to Baltimore. The situation has worked out favorably for Tyler Higbee, who had zero 100-yard performances through 58 regular-season games but now has two in the past two weeks.

    Analysis: McVay added that Everett is making progress in his recovery, but the coach noted that the third-year tight end is "not ready to get out there and practice" yet. Everett has missed two straight games while nursing a hyperextended knee and looks at risk of sitting out again Sunday in Dallas. If that's the case, Tyler Higbee -- who eclipsed 100 yards in both of the games Everett missed -- would once again dominate the snaps at tight end.

During Everett's absence in Sunday's win at Arizona, Tyler Higbee saw a season-high 91 percent of the offensive snaps, which he turned into a season-best stat line (7-107-1 on eight targets). As long as Everett is sidelined, Higbee can expect a similar workload.

    Analysis: Everett hyperextended his knee during Monday's 45-6 loss to Baltimore, and while he was able to rejoin the contest, he was then held out of practice Wednesday through Friday. His absence could leave Tyler Higbee in an every-down role, and it also decreases the overall competition for targets.

Check the tight end's status following Friday's final injury report, but if Everett were unable to play, look for Tyler Higbee to be the prime beneficiary of the extra playing time.

    Everett is considered day-to-day with a knee injury, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Everett seemed to pick up the injury in Monday's loss to the Ravens, when he caught the turf and appeared to hyper-extend his knee, although the team has yet to confirm the specific nature of the issue. The 2017 second-round pick played just 17 offensive snaps in Monday's game, catching both of his targets for 23 yards. The Rams head to Arizona for a divisional battle in Week 13, so expect Everett's practice availability to shed a light on his chances of suiting up in the game. If he can't go,…read more

    Analysis: There have been signs of a breakout from Everett this season, including an eight-catch, 68-yard showing against Pittsburgh in Week 10. However, those games have been too few and far between to lock him in as a set-and-forget fantasy asset. Playing just 17 of 54 offensive snaps against the Ravens is also a sizable concern.

    Everett caught his only target for 20 yards in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Despite Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Robert Woods (personal) being inactive, Everett couldn't draw Jared Goff's eye in this prime-time matchup. While Goff has been noticeably better at home this season, Everett's performance gets a boost on the road. The third-year pro has recorded 22 receptions for 276 yards (12.5 YPC) in five road games compared to 13 for 109 (8.4 YPC) over the same amount of home contests.

    Analysis: Expected to play in spite of limited practice participation throughout Week 11 prep, Everett is available, along with fellow tight ends Tyler Higbee (knee) and Johnny Mundt (groin). Surprisingly, the Rams opted to hold out Robert Woods for an unknown reason, so two of the team's top three wide receivers -- also, Brandin Cooks (concussion) -- are sidelined. As a result, Everett could see an elevated target count in this contest.

    Analysis: Everett was a limited practice participant throughout the week, with coach Sean McVay saying he expects the tight end to play. Position mates Tyler Higbee (knee) and Johnny Mundt (groin) also are listed as questionable, potentially creating a scenario where Everett takes on some extra snaps.

    Everett (wrist) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

    Analysis: Everett is beginning to shine a bit more on a weekly basis. Helped along by double-digit targets three times in the last five games and 8.2 looks per game over the last six, he's posted a 28-322-2 line during that stretch. Considering he fit in some activity while Tyler Higbee (knee) failed to do so Wednesday, Everett is the healthier of the Rams' top two tight ends.

  • Big volume in loss to Steelers

    Everett caught eight of 12 targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Once center Brian Allen left the game in the second quarter with a knee injury, the Rams' offense focused on quick passes to protect Jared Goff, and as a result Everett wound up leading the team in catches and targets, with both figures being season highs for the tight end. If the O-line is at less than full strength again next week, Everett could again be heavily involved against a Bears defense that's been fairly vulnerable to TEs this season.
