GERALD EVERETT NEWS

Touchdown against Bears Everett caught four of five targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 24-10 win over the Bears.

Impact Everett topped Los Angeles' depth chart at tight end with Tyler Higbee (hand) sidelined and capitalized with a 12-yard touchdown to close the third quarter. 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.

In line for more work Everett is slated to be the Rams' leading tight end Monday against the Bears with Tyler Higbee (hand) inactive, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Impact After being targeted a total of five times through the first four games of the campaign, Everett has received four targets in both of the past two contests. During that stretch, he accumulated seven catches for 117 yards and no touchdowns, so he'll be looking to build upon his recent success with an increased workload on tap. Behind Everett, Johnny Mundt and Brycen Hopkins are available for any TE reps that linger.

Held in check by 49ers Everett caught three of four targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 24-16 loss to San Francisco.

Impact While statistically this was an underwhelming showing after Everett recorded 90 receiving yards last week, the Los Angeles offense never found a rhythm in the first half, and Everett tied for second in targets with fellow tight end Tyler Higbee. Higbee had the better fantasy day with three catches for 57 yards and played 45 snaps compared Everett's 30, but the latter continues to be involved in the passing attack. Everett should be on the fantasy radar because his athleticism makes him a big-play threat whenever the ball is in his hands. Unfortunately, he's just one of the many options head coach Sean McVay and quarterback Jared Goff have to turn to.

Leads team in receiving yards Everett secured all four targets for 90 yards in the Rams' 30-10 win over the Washington Football Team on Sunday.

Impact Everett was the surprising leader in receiving yards on the day for the Rams, with a 40-yard grab playing a key role in his tally. The fourth-year pro logged a season high in targets a week after seeing just one versus the Giants, so he'll look to follow this performance with another productive one in a Sunday night Week 6 road matchup against the 49ers.

Rushes one in Everett caught his only target for 10 yards and scored a two-yard rushing touchdown during Sunday's 17-9 win over the Giants.

Impact Plus athleticism has always been Everett's calling card, and it wouldn't be surprising to see creative head coach Sean McVay continue finding ways to incorporate him into the offensive attack. Additionally, with Everett in the final year of his rookie contract, the Rams might also want to utilize him more before deciding how to approach his pending free agency. After all, the organization did invest a second-round selection in the South Alabama product in the 2017 draft. For the time being, Everett's fantasy value is probably limited to settings with premium scoring for tight ends.

Catches both targets Everett caught both of his targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 35-32 loss to Buffalo.

Impact While his 34 receiving yards hardly moved the fantasy needle, both grabs showed off Everett's athleticism. He's talented and has the potential to be a solid fantasy contributor, but his target share will probably never provide enough opportunities as long as the Rams are healthy, and especially with fellow tight end Tyler Higbee clearly ahead of him on the depth chart. There's still a chance Everett proves to be a late bloomer, so keeper/dynasty managers should add him to their watch lists in case he finds a larger role elsewhere -- he's in the final year of his rookie contract, after all.

Mainly blocks against Philly Everett played 30 offensive snaps but didn't receive a target and only ran eight routes during Sunday's 37-19 win over the Eagles.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Wednesday Everett (back) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Impact 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 suit up Sunday at Philadelphia.

Impact Everett left the game in the second half with a back issue, which contained him to 24 of 73 (33 percent) of the team's snaps on offense 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.
