Eifert has really broken out this season and has played in all 11 games for the Bengals. He has caught 46 passes for 522 yards and 12 touchdowns. He has had four multi-touchdown games and leads the league in touchdown receptions.
He has three more touchdown catches than the next players, a four-way tie between Brandon Marshall, Rob Gronkowski, DeAndre Hopkins and Odell Beckham Jr. He also has more total touchdowns than the next player in running back Devonta Freeman, who has caught two touchdown passes while rushing for nine of them.
Cincinnati has not done much with its other tight ends this season. The only two appearing on the stat sheet are Ryan Hewitt and Tyler Kroft, who have under 100 receiving yards and no touchdowns between them. Offensive tackle Jake Fisher has more receiving yards than Kroft. It's going to be a rough outing without him.
