Everett (illness) practiced fully Thursday, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
A day removed from missing practice due to illness, Everett was back in the saddle Thursday and even handled every rep. Meanwhile, position mate Tyler Higbee remained limited by a hand contusion, which sidelined him this past Monday against the Bears. If Higbee doesn't gain clearance to play Sunday in Miami, Everett again will be in line to be the Rams' primary TE after going for a 4-28-1 line on five targets Week 7.

Everett missed Wednesday's walk-through due to an illness, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's always worrisome to see "illness" listed next to a player's name, but there's no indication Everett's is related to COVID-19. Still, the TE situation will need to be watched closely in L.A. this week with Tyler Higbee (LP on Wednesday) still banged up due to a painful hand contusion. With Higbee sidelined Monday against 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.

Everett caught four of five targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 24-10 win over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
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. Although it's worth noting reserve tight end Johnny Mundt finished with three grabs for 47 yards Monday, Everett still figures to benefit most should Higbee miss more time, with a Week 8 matchup in Miami next on the schedule.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Everett caught three of four targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 24-16 loss to San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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

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

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

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.
EDGE 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.

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