Gerald Everett Fantasy

The Los Angeles Chargers hope that tight end Gerald Everett will provide a more explosive yards-after-the-catch dynamic than veteran Jared Cook did last year. They plan to get the ball in Everett's hands via screens, flat routes and jet sweeps, which could put him in line to have a career-best season. The 27-year-old had a career-high 48 receptions for 478 yards and four touchdowns on 63 targets in his one and only season with the Seattle Seahawks last year, and he could easily top those numbers working with rising young quarterback Justin Herbert this year. Nobody should be drafting Everett as a TE1 in fantasy, but he's a great target as a TE2 with upside in fall drafts.

Free-agent tight end Gerald Everett will be another target for quarterback Justin Herbert in 2022, inking a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Chargers, with the veteran guaranteed to make $8 million. He has the potential to earn up to $12 million. Jared Cook is a free agent, so the organization moved to snag a tight end capable of making some noise from a statistical standpoint. Everett finished the 2021-22 campaign in Seattle by racking up 48 catches for 478 yards and four touchdowns, the highest marks of his career. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect a ton of production from the 27-year-old. However, Everett may benefit immensely as a member of L.A.'s high-powered offense.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Gerald Everett had put up several solid performances in a row before he was held in check in Week 17 against the Detroit Lions. Everett caught three of his five targets for 36 yards. Everett had gone for 60 or more yards in each of his previous two games before being held to just 36 yards on Sunday. Everett was a popular streaming option in the last several weeks due to his volume and production, especially in the red zone, but quarterback Russell Wilson spread the ball around well against Detroit, and receiver DK Metcalf had three of his four touchdown passes.
