Gerald Everett Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Chargers WR Josh Palmer (knee) and TE Gerald Everett (hip) are game-time decisions for tonight's meeting with the Bears, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "There is more optimism that Palmer can play than Everett," Rapoport adds. Everett should not be in Week 8 fantasy lineups. Palmer is a tricky situation with the late kickoff. We won't get Chargers inactives until a little before 7 pm ET. If you're hoping to use Palmer, you need an alternative rostered from either this game or Monday night's Raiders-Lions game.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Bears. He got in a full practice on Friday, which seemingly puts him on track to play. But a less-than-100% Everett is a shaky fantasy start.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett (hip) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That gives him a chance to play vs. the Bears on Sunday night. We'll see how Everett is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. He was unable to return to last week's game in Kansas City after going down and is in danger of missing Sunday night's game vs. the Bears. Everett's absence would leave TE duties to Donald Parham and Stone Smartt.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett suffered a quad injury in the second half of Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. Everett has remained on the sidelines trying to stay loose but is officially questionable to return.

Chargers TE Donald Parham (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Chargers. He put in full practices on Friday and Saturday, so he seems likely to play. Parham isn't a fantasy option outside of one-game DFS contests, but his presence is a drain on TE Gerald Everett's fantasy value.

Chargers WR Mike Williams has been diagnosed with a torn left ACL and will miss the rest of the 2023 season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The timing of the injury at least gives Williams a good chance to be ready for the start of the 2024 campaign. He turns 29 in about a week and is officially signed with the Chargers for next season. But his contract currently carries a $32.5 million cap hit. Williams will need to restructure that deal to remain with the team. His absence for the rest of this season leaves behind big opportunity. Williams averaged 8.7 targets on a 21.3% share through three games. WR Josh Palmer is the better immediate bet for production with Williams out. But first-round rookie WR Quentin Johnston is the higher-upside longer-term bet. WR Keenan Allen, RB Austin Ekeler (once healthy), and TE Gerald Everett should also see a bit more volume without Williams.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett ranked third on the team with 6 receptions in Sunday's win over the Vikings, snagging all of his targets while producing just 30 yards. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Everett also watched TE Donald Parham steal 2 TDs. Overall, Everett played just four more snaps than Parham and beat him 24-17 in routes. But that trailed the team's top 3 WRs by 10+ routes. Everett remains a meh fantasy option. And Parham doesn't draw enough targets to be startable in most fantasy formats.

The Chargers re-signed TE Donald Parham to a 2-year, $2.65 million deal. The 6'8 behemoth was not tendered as a restricted free agent by Los Angeles and ends up returning on a cheap deal, suggesting that he didn't find much interest on the open market. Parham has been just a part-time player through 3 NFL seasons, totaling 40 catches for 479 yards and 7 TDs. TE Gerald Everett had been mentioned as a potential cap casualty for the Chargers but remains on the roster as of mid-March. Unless that changes, Parham is only worth a look in the deepest of fantasy drafts.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett snagged 6 of 8 targets for 109 yards and 1 score in Saturday’s loss at Jacksonville. He paced the team and yardage and was on the receiving end of Justin Herbert’s lone TD. The former Seahawk ended his first year in L.A. as the TE13 in PPG, boosted by injuries to Mike Williams and Keenan Allen. Everett, 28, is under contract for 1 more season.

Chargers HC Brandon Staley plans to play starters in Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. A win would lock up the AFC's #5 seed for the Chargers, meaning a Round 1 game vs. the Jaguars or Titans. A loss would open the door for the Ravens to take the #5 seed with a win over the Bengals. That'd push the Chargers down to #6 and mean a Round 1 game vs. Cincinnati. “Our approach is definitely going to get shot to win this ballgame and play as well as we can play heading into the playoffs,” Staley said. “I think that there’s certainly an advantage to be in the No. 5-seed, from where I stand, so we’re going to try and get there.” Staley did add that he'd consider sitting banged-up players. But, as of now, we're projecting full playing time for QB Justin Herbert, RB Austin Ekeler and WRs Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert posted his 2nd-largest passing-yardage total of the season Sunday, throwing for 335 yards in a loss to the Raiders. He completed 28 of 47 throws (59.6%), finding WR Keenan Allen for the offense's only TD. Allen posted a 6-88-1 receiving line on a team-high 14 targets. WR Josh Palmer led the team with 7 catches among 11 targets and totaled 60 yards. TE Gerald Everett added 5 catches for 80 yards among 6 targets. The Chargers host Miami in Week 14. We'll see whether WR Mike Williams (ankle) can make it back for that contest.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett (groin) is not listed on the final Week 12 injury report after putting in full practices on Thursday and Friday. He’ll be back for Sunday’s plus matchup against the Cardinals’ 31st-ranked TE defense.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett (groin) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. That puts him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals' 31st-ranked TE defense.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett (groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He was left off the final injury report last Friday, added as questionable on Saturday and then missed Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. We'll see if Everett is able to make it back for this weekend's plus matchup vs. the Cardinals.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett (groin) is inactive for tonight’s game against the Chiefs. That leaves Tre McKitty as Los Angeles’ top TE.

The Chargers initially left TE Gerald Everett (groin) off the final injury report for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs. But despite finishing the week with a full Friday practice, Everett has now been downgraded to questionable. That could indicate a setback with the groin issue since the initial injury report. We'll watch for reports on his status ahead of the early Sunday games. But it'll be tough to wait on him for a lot of fantasy football lineups. With TE Donald Parham on IR, Tre McKitty would operate as the lead TE if Everett sits. He played a season-high 78% of snaps in last week's loss to the 49ers, drawing 6 targets but catching only 3 for 21 yards. McKitty will be a low-floor fantasy option but can fit nicely as insurance if you are waiting for Everett's game status.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett (groin) isn't listed on the final injury report. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so it doesn't seem like the groin will be an issue vs. the Chiefs on Sunday night. Everett's volume projection will take a hit, though, if the Chargers get WRs Mike Williams and Keenan Allen back.

Chargers WR Mike Williams (ankle), WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) and TE Gerald Everett (groin) were all limited on Thursday for the 2nd straight practice. We'll see what they're able to do tomorrow and then how they're listed on the final injury report for Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs.
