This is a tricky injury for the Los Angeles Rams. Gerald Everett only had three catches against Washington, but he gained 95 yards before leaving the game in the third quarter with a thigh contusion. Through two games, Everett leads the Rams in receiving yards on the season with 134. He is also a perfect four-for-four on catches and targets.

Everett missed Monday’s practice, but the Rams have not announced whether they will have their rookie TE Thursday night. Unfortunately, the short week gives him less time to recover. If the second-round pick can play, he will have to face the fourth-best defense against opposing tight ends in the NFL.
Fantasy impact: Everett is killing it in fantasy considering his low number of targets. When he gets his hands on the ball, he always has a big gain. That is a great sign for owners. Unfortunately, this injury is a big blow for Everett. The short week makes it even worse. Everett was already facing a tough matchup, and now that his health is in question things will be even harder for him, if he plays at all.
