Gerald Everett 2021 Outlook: Opportunities Could Increase With Seahawks
4 years agoIn one of their moves to further bolster the passing game, the Seahawks signed former Rams tight end Gerald Everett to a one-year deal in the offseason. Seattle has seen up and down play at tight end in recent seasons, and the Seahawks are likely hoping he can be more of a frequent contributor than he was in four seasons with the Rams. Everett set new career highs in receptions (41) and yardage (417) last year, but he has never been regarded as a fantasy asset in the past. Playing in a crowded group of pass-catchers where he was not the clear top target at TE certainly contributed to that outlook, as did working with Jared Goff. With the Seahawks, he should have increased chances to contribute. Russell Wilson spreads the ball around effectively and will certainly look to the tight end on key passing downs and near the goal line. Everett should also be comfortable in a retooled Seahawks offense, as former Rams QB coach Shane Waldron is the new offensive coordinator. Everett has an ADP of 153.6, so he is on the fantasy TE2 radar this season, because he gets a QB upgrade and possibly a clearer role as the top pass-catching tight end with his new team.
