Tyler Eifert

According to John Shipley of Sports Illustrated, Tyler Eifert has shown strong chemistry with quarterback Gardner Minshew.

With sophomore tight end Josh Oliver lost for the season, and no one else on the roster capable of pushing him for snaps, Tyler Eifert could have a much stronger season than many have projected. The offense has not had a reliable tight end since the days of Mercedes Lewis, but Minshew’s rhythm passer skill set suggests that Eifert could thrive as a safety valve and downfield target. Eifert has wowed with a number of downfield hookups from Minshew, and will look to carry the chemistry over to game days. Eifert could make for an extremely interesting low cost, deep league TE2 flier. Eifert is currently ranked as our 31st tight end for the season.
