Everett caught all three of his targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 33-31 win over the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Not only did the sophomore make the most of his 16 offensive snaps Sunday, Everett could also be in line for more work in the passing attack if Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Cooper Kupp (concussion) are forced to miss time. It's still a wait-and-see situation for now, and tight end Tyler Higbee (53 offensive snaps) also continues to receiving more playing time than Everett, so fantasy expectations should remain tempered.

Everett played 23 of 55 offensive snaps and caught his only target for 13 yards during Thursday's 38-31 win over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

While this was Everett's highest offensive snap count of the season, fellow tight end Tyler Higbee sustained a knee injury during the game and wasn't available for a stretch. With Todd Gurley and the Los Angeles wide receiver trio (Brandin Cooks, Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp) locked into huge target shares, there are only scraps left for Everett and Higbee. It's currently not a promising fantasy setup for either tight end.

Everett recorded a 17-yard reception during Sunday's 34-0 win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the majority of the preseason with a shoulder injury and playing just five offensive snaps in Week 1, it was encouraging to see Everett haul in a lengthy reception Sunday. He's still firmly behind Tyler Higbee on the depth chart, as Everett played just eight offensive snaps compared to Higbee's 64. However, it wouldn't be shocking if the second-year tight end out of South Alabama became more involved in the passing attack as the season progresses. Everett was handpicked by the current regime in the second round of the 2017 draft, and he displayed his athleticism with 15.3 yards per reception as a rookie in 2017. Keep tabs on Everett in deep setups.

Everett (shoulder) isn't listed on the Rams' Week 1 injury report Thursday, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Expected to challenge starter Tyler Higbee for reps at tight end this season, Everett instead spent the bulk of training camp and the entire preseason recovering from an unspecified shoulder injury. At one point, Everett was seen with a sling on his left arm during a practice session. With the season opener days away, he has reached 100 percent health -- or at least enough to avoid the injury report -- but the past month may have put a damper on his ability to produce early on.

Everett (shoulder) is working towards a Week 1 return, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Everett's shoulder injury has lingered for the larger part of August and seemingly could affect his chances of playing in Week 1. The injury has caused some concern given Everett's extended absence, but coach Sean McVay feels that, barring any setbacks, Everett will be ready to go for the regular season opener.

Everett (shoulder) is not practicing Saturday, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Everett, who's been diagnosed with a sprained shoulder, was seen Saturday with a sling supporting his left arm, making it seem as if the he isn't particularly close to practicing at this juncture. With Everett sidelined, Tyler Higbee will continue to serve as the Rams' unquestioned No. 1 tight end until further notice.

Everett has been diagnosed with a shoulder sprain and could miss at least a week, Rich Hammond of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Everett sustained the minor shoulder injury at some point during the past week of training camp, but the backup tight end isn't dealing with an issue that could put his Week 1 availability in jeopardy at this point. With Everett sidelined and essentially considered day-to-day, Temarrick Hemingway and Henry Krieger-Coble could see additional reps at tight end behind starter Tyler Higbee.

Everett is dealing with a shoulder injury, the severity of which is unknown, Rich Hammond of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Everett is currently listed as No. 2 on the tight end depth chart behind Tyler Higbee, but could be in for a bigger role this season as he gets more and more used to playing the position at a professional level. Head coach Sean McVay has complimented Everett's potential to be an asset in the Rams' offense, so there will be optimism that the shoulder injury is not of major concern. Everett has over a month to get healthy before regular season play begins.

Everett could take on a larger role in his second season, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official website reports. "Gerald is a guy that has a lot of ability," said Rams coach Sean McVay. "I think its continuing to get more comfortable playing the tight end position at the professional level. And we ask a lot of our guys, being able to play in the run and the pass game, and sometimes compete in protection, and Gerald's a guy that I think he's going to attack the offseason the right way

EDGE Analysis

The 44th overall pick in last year's draft, Everett caught 16 of 32 targets for 244 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie, displaying big-play ability with catch-and-run gains of 69, 44 and 39 yards. All three of those plays occurred in the first half of the season, and he had only 45 receiving yards over the final eight weeks. Everett nonetheless may compete for the starting job in training camp, given that incumbent Tyler Higbee, a 2016 fourth-round pick, caught only 25 of 45 targets for 295 yards and a touchdown despite playing all 16 games last season. At the very least, Everett figures to push for more playing time on passing downs, where his lack of size (6-foot-3, 240 pounds) is less of a concern.

Everett played just 21 of 68 offensive snaps and caught one of two targets for only four yards during Saturday's 26-13 loss to Atlanta in the wild-card round.

EDGE Analysis

While the second-round pick played sparingly all season, he flashed enough in limited action to project a promising future over the coming years. Everett finished the regular season with 16 receptions for 244 yards (15.3 yards per catch) and two touchdowns, including two catches for over 40 yards. His athleticism and big-play potential will likely be more integrated into head coach Sean McVay's offense in 2018, but with Tyler Higbee also in the mix, Everett might still struggle to be a reliable fantasy asset week in, week out. Additionally, it wouldn't be surprising if it took another year or two for Everett to better acclimatized to the NFL before he has a true breakout campaign.
