Everett (thigh) is active for Thursday's game at San Francisco, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Everett managed two limited practices during a short week but will still suit up as the Rams' backup tight end. Through two games, Everett has lagged behind Tyler Higbee in terms of offensive snaps (94 to 45), but the rookie has utterly dominated in the box score. While Higbee has gathered in just two of four passes for 17 yards, Everett has caught all four targets for a team-high 134 yards.

Everett (thigh) was limited at Wednesday's practice and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game in San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Everett has thus far made the most of his role as the Rams' No. 2 tight end, parlaying four targets into four catches for a team-high 134 receiving yards. That production wouldn't be sustainable in his current role even if he were completely healthy, but he's at least making a case to eventually push Tyler Higbee for the No. 1 spot on the depth chart. Everett's inability to log a full practice during the week suggests he could be a game-day decision Thursday.

Everett (thigh) was limited in practice Tuesday, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Everett did not participate in practice Monday, so his limited participation Tuesday is a reassuring sign that the tight end could be ready to go for Thursday's showdown with the 49ers. Look for Wednesday's practice report to give a better indication of Everett's game status.

Everett (thigh) didn't practice Monday, Rich Hammond of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Everett came out of Sunday's loss to the Redskins with a bruised thigh, so it's not surprising he was given the day off Monday. The rookie's participation in practice the rest of the week will shed more light on his availability for Thursday's matchup with the 49ers.

Everett came out of Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Redskins with a thigh contusion, Lindsey Thiry of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Everett surprisingly has a team-high 134 receiving yards through two games, benefitting from gains of 69 and 39 yards among his four receptions on four targets. While the efficient production could earn him a larger role in the passing game, it'll be hard to get excited about Everett's fantasy prospects unless he usurps Tyler Higbee as the Rams' top tight end. Everett's thigh injury doesn't sound serious, but it could limit his practice participation ahead of a Week 3 game in San Francisco.

Everett caught all three of his targets for 95 yards during Sunday's overtime loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Quarterback Jared Goff found Everett for a game-high, 69-yard reception when Washington lost track of the rookie down the sideline. Everett owns the athleticism to be a solid fantasy asset in the future, and Sunday's showing highlights his upside. However, Goff has spread the ball around through the first two weeks of the season, and sophomore tight end Tyler Higbee will also be involved in the passing game. Everett is best viewed as a weekly boom-or-bust flier, and he probably shouldn't be relied on at this point in many settings.

Everett caught his only target for 39 yards during Sunday's win over Indianapolis.
EDGE Analysis
Quarterback Jared Goff connected with Everett on an impressive 39-yard completion that the tight end had to adjust for and secure while falling to the ground. While Everett only played 29 of 65 offensive snaps, his athleticism is going to get him on the field more as the season progresses. The fantasy upside is there, but sophomore tight end Tyler Higbee is going to be involved in the passing attack, and Jared Goff spread the ball around Sunday. There are likely too many mouths to feed for Everett to be a reliable option most weeks.

Everett caught all four of his targets for 30 yards -- including a 24-yard reception -- during Saturday's preseason win over Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
This was a nice followup to Everett's two-catch showing in the preseason opener, and in particular, it was encouraging that three of the receptions came with the first-team offense. Quarterback Jared Goff and Everett connected three times for 29 yards. Tight end Tyler Higbee is still in the mix, and the receiving tree added a branch with the addition of Sammy Watkins, but Everett still has upside to carve out a respectable role in the passing attack.

Everett caught two of three targets for 13 yards in Saturday's preseason opener against Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
The 44th overall pick in this year's draft, Everett looked impressive in making two defenders miss on a nine-yard gain. He'll still have to work his way into a meaningful role, as Tyler Higbee started Saturday's game and Temarrick Hemingway came on the field when the first-team offense used two tight ends. The Rams suddenly have quite a few mouths to feed, with the acquisition of Sammy Watkins pushing the other wideouts into the complementary roles they're best suited for. The prospect of using Higbee and Everett on the field together doesn't seem nearly as appealing as it once did.

Everett's athleticism and comfort level has stood out to head coach Sean McVay through the first two days of training camp, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Everett, this year's second-round selection, is vying for seeding on the depth chart with 2016 fourth-round pick Tyler Higbee, and the winner of the position battle projects to have a sizeable role in the Los Angeles offense. McVay leaned on his tight ends heavily during his tenure as Washington's offensive coordinator, so his praise of Everett's start to training camp is an early positive for the rookie. It's worth noting that both Everett and Higbee will probably be involved in the passing attack and limit each other's fantasy upside, though.
