2024 Fantasy Outlook
Everett is poised to suit up for a fourth different team in a five-year span after signing a two-year deal with the Bears in March. The veteran tight end has been fairly consistent regardless of where he plays, topping 400 receiving yards in each of the previous five seasons but exceeding 500 only once over that span. At 6-foot-3 and 250 pounds, Everett’s on the smaller side for a tight end, and he has never been a high-priority option in the red zone, having failed to top four touchdowns in any of his seven NFL seasons. The 6-foot-6 Cole Kmet has 13 touchdowns over the previous two seasons and is likely to get the majority of looks from new Bears QB Caleb Williams near the goal line at Everett’s expense. Chicago also beefed up its wide receiver room by signing Keenan Allen and drafting Rome Odunze ninth overall to pair with DJ Moore, so Everett’s likely ticketed for a supporting role in his age-30 season.

Everett (knee) and the Bears agreed Tuesday on a two-year contract, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
One of the better receiving options among a weak free-agent class of tight ends, Everett is linking up with a Bears team that already has a proven starter in Cole Kmet, who is coming off a 719-yard, six-TD season. Everett could take some of the snaps in obvious passing situations given that he's probably a bit quicker and more agile, though Kmet is taller, heavier, stronger and has a better track record of receiving production. The Bears may have a lot of two-TE formations in mind, especially with their WR depth behind No. 1 DJ Moore looking shaky at the moment. Still, it's not a great fantasy situation for Everett, who turns 30 in June after five straight seasons in the range of 408 to 555 receiving yards (for three different teams).

Raiders TE Michael Mayer and Colts WR Adonai Mitchell are two of the many players whose volume projections had to be adjusted downward after the 2024 NFL Draft. RW's Jerry Donabedian breaks it all down.
Most of the big ADP changes can be easily explained, but there are also guys like Isiah Pacheco and Kenneth Walker dropping down the ranks for unclear reasons.
Jerry Donabedian looks at details for all the big free-agent contracts and notices that age seems to matter as much as skill when it comes to running backs.
Good news for the Bears might mean bad news for Cole Kmet's fantasy value. Jerry Donabedian digs in and assesses how trades and signings impact dynasty valuations for numerous players.
Latest Fantasy Rumors
May draw more targets Thursday
Everett is in position to see an increase in targets for Thursday's game against the Raiders after wideout Keenan Allen was ruled out with a heel injury.
ANALYSIS
Everett saw a season-high eight targets in the Chargers' Week 14 loss to the Broncos, finishing with five catches for 39 yards. The Chargers offense had struggled for most of the game, even before quarterback Justin Herbert exited with a fractured index finger that required season-ending surgery Tuesday. With Easton Stick set to take over as the team's starting signal-caller, Everett, running back Austin Ekeler and receivers Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer will be left as the top targets while Allen is sidelined.

2017
Everett had numerous career highs last year in his first season with the Chargers, catching 58 of 87 targets for 555 yards and four TDs. He’s elusive after the catch and knows how to get open, but he's struggled with everything from drops (nine last year) to blocking to fumbles to penalties, never quite putting it all together since the Rams drafted him 44th overall in 2017. He figures to reprise his role atop the Chargers’ underwhelming TE depth chart, likely serving as the fourth or fifth option in a passing game that also wants to feed RB Austin Ekeler and WRs Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Quentin Johnston. New offensive coordinator Kellen Moore did good work in Dallas with TE Dalton Schultz, who averaged 94 targets, 666.7 yards and 5.7 TDs the past three years after catching only 13 passes total his first two NFL seasons. Everett could fit well in a similar role, mostly running short routes and serving as a check-down read for QB Justin Herbert.
