BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~160 Overall
CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted)
ANALYSIS: If only because of the last five games of last season, Tyler Higbee should be the Rams leading tight end in 2020. Higbee was able to rack up fantasy points in that span like no one else (he averaged 21.4 from Week 13 to 17) and he out-scored Everett 160.4 to 89.8 over the full season. It was a tale of two halves, though, as Everett put up 14.8-plus PRR points four times from Week 4 to Week 10 while Higbee only topped eight PPR once before Week 13. Higbee clearly benefitted from Evertt's injury at the end of the year, and recency bias seems to be playing a little bit of a role here.
While Higbee finished 2019 riding a hot streak, who's to say he will keep it going in 2020? Again, never trust a tight end in fantasy football. Everett slots as the TE2 of Los Angeles at this very moment, but that could change in a hurry. Even with that secondary role on offense at the position, PFF sees a 430-plus yard, 39-reception, four-touchdown player in Everett.
Everett is one of just three tight ends that project to score three or more touchdowns while playing a TE2 role (at least to start the season) in their teams judging by projected targets, and the one expected to catch passes for the third-most yards among that TE2-group. Everett will get his chances, and if he can show enough as to convince the Rams he's on a better condition than Higbee at any point during the season the roles could easily reverse in no time between them.
The most incredible thing: Everett is getting off draft boards as the TE46 while projecting to finish 202 as the TE23, and that is counting with Tyler Higbee holding onto the TE1 role for the Rams all year long. The upside of Everett is massive, so make sure to at least drafting him as a bench/stream option earlier than in the last round if you don't want to get sniped by another savvy GM.
