The Rams primarily utilize an offensive set that includes three wide receivers and one tight end on the field, but there's no question that the team is typically looking to get the ball to their receivers - not their tight ends. The snap share numbers alone don't tell the story because there are times when their tight ends are on the field for almost every play yet only once throughout the 2018 season did a Rams tight end catch more than five passes in a single game. That tight end, oddly enough, was actually Tyler Higbee, who is typically considered the better run blocker between him and Gerald Everett.
Everett, however, was the more productive fantasy tight end in 2018 as he caught 33 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns in comparison to Higbee's 24 catches for 292 yards and two scores. At 6'3" and 240 lbs, Everett lacks the size to be a great run blocker which does limit his snaps, particularly in the red zone. He did see his snap share increase down the stretch and he even out-snapped Higbee in three of the Rams' final four regular season contests, but he finished the season with less than half as many snaps as Higbee.
There's a case to be made that either player could be a borderline fantasy starter if the other one were to go down with an injury, but Everett and Higbee vulture one another's fantasy upside too much, which makes each of them non-starters in most fantasy leagues.

 TE Gerald Everett out for Week 13
Knee injury

FFToday's Take: With Everett batting a knee injury, Tyler Higbee will start at tight end for the Rams. In case you haven't heard, the Cardinals give up the most fantasy points to tight ends making Higbee a viable TE streamer in Week 13.
