Fantasy Football: 7 Sleeper Tight Ends to Target in 2017
Gerald Everett, Los Angeles Rams
If there's any rookie tight end that may break the mold and bust out, don't sleep on it being Gerald Everett.
Who? Many folks may be unfamiliar with the South Alabama product, but a quick glimpse at some of his agility shows he stacks up pretty well against some of the elite tight end class.

In two seasons at South Alabama, Everett racked up 90 catches for 1,584 yards and a whopping 12 scores. Plus, he's basically a genetic clone of Jordan Reed, who Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay turned into a focal point of the Washington Redskins passing attack during his tenure there.
Everett's competition on the Rams' depth chart is uninspiring: Tyler Higbee and Temarrick Hemingway.
For a late-round flier, Everett could turn into a massive draft-day value. —Matt Kupferle
