Now the forgotten tight end in this offense, Gerald Everett is a player who fantasy owners should be looking into more than they are at the moment, if for no other reason than that he's been the better fantasy player than Higbee throughout their careers when they've both been on the field. Higbee's gigantic five-game stretch in 2019, when Everett was out, was better than anything that either player had produced for an entire season up to that point, but there's still a real possibility that Everett ends up being the better fantasy tight end - particularly in terms of draft cost - between the two.
Everett is a far superior athlete who had out-snapped Higbee by a total of 436 snaps to 354 snaps prior to Week 13 in the 2019 season. He was also the better fantasy producer during that time, even though neither player was very fantasy relevant. The big difference is that Higbee played practically every snap for the Rams while Everett was out and that led to a huge jump in target share. If both players are healthy, it's entirely possible that Everett comes close to or even out-scores Higbee in 2020.
It's not often that there are two fantasy-relevant tight ends on the same roster, but if the Rams do end up sticking to the 12-personnel that they had success with in 2019, there's a possibility that the Los Angeles duo of Higbee and Everett both end up finishing as top-15 players at the position.
Don't bother drafting Everett in anything other than oddball leagues where you're forced to start more than one TE, but keep an eye on his playing time. If he's on the field and seeing targets, and Higbee suffers an injury, he could end up producing some real nice numbers just like Higbee did down the stretch this past season.
