CIN TE Tyler Eifert - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Atlanta Falcons

Tyler Eifert is playing and that's an improvement already. He has been on the field at least 64 percent of the offensive snaps the last two games. Last week, he caught six passes for 74 yards. He hasn't caught that many balls since Week 8 in 2016. Eifert also had a season-high eight targets against Carolina.

Eifert will face Atlanta, who is ranked seventh in aFPA to tight ends. Even with the tough matchup, he seems to be playing like the old, healthy Tyler Eifert. Start him in Week 4 as a low-end TE1 against the Falcons.

CIN TE Tyler Eifert - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Carolina Panthers

The Bengals were very conservative in Week 1 with Tyler Eifert, who has been injury prone during his NFL career. But in Week 2, Eifert was on the field for 64 percent of the snaps, up from 40 percent the previous week. The targets are still low (seven) and his overall numbers are average—five receptions for 67 yards. However, the fact he is getting more playing time is a positive sign.

Eifert will face the Panthers this week, who are ranked eighth in aFPA to tight ends. Even though we expect some better games ahead, Week 3 sees Eifert rate as a solid TE2, so he should remain on your bench. This will likely be his weekly rating until we start to see better results, especially in the red zone.

CIN TE Tyler Eifert - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Baltimore Ravens

The good news for Bengals fans and Tyler Eifert owners is that he made it through the game unscathed in Week 1. He caught three passes for 44 yards—not matchup-winning numbers, but better games are ahead if he stays healthy.

The Ravens come to town and their defense is one of the better units in the NFL. Eifert has never fared well against Baltimore, although he has two touchdowns in six career games against them.

Eifert will be an impact tight end most weeks, but we suggest you keep him on the bench for Week 2. He's a high-end TE2 against the Ravens on Thursday, so you should be able to stream a better option this week.

CIN TE Tyler Eifert - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Indianapolis Colts

Tyler Eifert has played in 15, 1, 13, 8 and 2 games in his five-year career. He is healthy to start the season, but that is always the question with him. When he plays, he is a viable option each week.

Eifert will face the Colts, who did not handle tight ends last season so the matchup is good. Start Eifert Week 1 as a solid fantasy tight end and hope he makes it through the game.

CIN TE Tyler Eifert - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

In 2015, Tyler Eifert scored 15 touchdowns. When he is healthy, he has shown to be a formidable offensive weapon, especially in the red zone. The potential for success for Eifert is high and there is no doubt the Bengals want to use him as a key component of the offense.

Fantasy Downside

Eifert has missed 22 of the last 32 games and has never played a full season in the NFL. The injuries have consumed his career and except for one season, he has been a fantasy dud. The Bengals offense is on shaky ground as well because we are not sure where QB Andy Dalton is at this point—he had a sub-par 2017.

2018 Bottom Line

Eifert is not worth drafting as a TE1. The injuries are too much. If you can get him as your second tight end, the risk factor is a lot lower and he could end up being a steal. His ADP is 132 overall which is a little high. Don't be afraid to take him a little earlier.

CIN TE Tyler Eifert - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Green Bay Packers

UPDATE: Eifert has been ruled out for Sunday.

It's been a slow start for Tyler Eifert who has only been targeted five times in the first two games. More important he has zero touchdowns, the same amount as the Bengals. Eifert was expected to be a major target in the red zone, but that hasn't happened yet.

Another issue that has reared its ugly head again is Eifert's health. He left the game last week and did not practice on Thursday. There's a possibility he doesn't suit up this week, so make sure you check the injury report before setting your lineup.

For now, Eifert doesn't seem to be a good option for Week 3 unless he ends up playing. If he does, he still doesn't rate a starter because of the Bengals' offensive issues and the uncertainty of his health.

CIN TE Tyler Eifert - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Houston Texans

The good news from last week was that Tyler Eifert played and looked healthy. The bad news was that he was targeted just once. He did catch his only target, but it was for a measly four yards—not exactly what fantasy owners were looking for from a consensus TE1.

It's hard to blame Efiert and there are better days ahead, although one of those good days might not be Thursday night unless the Bengals regroup quickly. The Texans have an above average pass defense, so quarterback Andy Dalton will have to be much better. We expect coach Marvin Lewis and company to urge Dalton to use his tight ends more.

With that said, Eifert is still a viable fantasy option for Week 2, but a borderline starter against Houston. See if you have a better option, but if you don't, Eifert should still fare better than he did last Sunday.
