Tyler Eifert (TE, JAX) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~160 Overall

CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted)

ANALYSIS: The problem with Tyler Eifert isn't hard to spot: injuries and health issues. Between 2013 and 2019, Eifert is the tight end with the second-fewest played games while appearing in at least 50 games while scoring 9.0+ PPG. That's only because Austin Hooper didn't debut until the 2016 season. In the same 2013-19 span, Jared Cook has accrued 936 PPR points total (only because he's remained on the field) while the now-former Bengal Eifert has only been able to put up 549 PPR points himself even with a slightly better average.

That explains why even though Eifert is now the clear-cut TE1 of the Jaguars entering 2020, he is still mostly getting undrafted in any type of re-draft league with an ADP over 180 overall. Last season was different for Eifert in that he appeared in 16 games for the first time in his career, and for the most games since he played 15 in his rookie year back in 2013. The Bengals were far from competitive, so expectations had to be tamed a bit. Eifert finished with 43 receptions on 63 targets for 436 yards and 3 TDs over the year, all of them personal-bests since his 2015 season.

All things considered, fantasy GMs have been boosting Eifert's ADP a bit lately, making him the TE42 in drafts while he has a projection to finish as the TE37 (80.6 PPR) next year per PFF. It checks if he's going to play between eight and nine games at his career-average 9.3 PPG. If you miss on the top-dogs at the position and have to stream players,  this TE shouldn't be the worst option and he could very well turn into a league-changer worth drafting with a last-round pick.
