CIN TE Tyler Eifert - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Baltimore Ravens

Tyler Eifert should have a big season if he can stay on the field. Already, we have seen a bad knee in the preseason, but he did practice on Thursday and will be ready to go Sunday.

Eifert has been especially good in the red zone and when A.J Green is on the field, his numbers have been even better. (Green is back after missing the last six games in 2016).

Where does he rank for Week 1? The Ravens were average against tight ends in 2016. Eifert will be a TE1 most of the season and comes in against Baltimore as a solid starter in all formats.

CIN TE Tyler Eifert - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Tyler Eifert has proven he can be a solid TE1. In the past 21 games, he has averaged 3.9 catches for 48 yards and 0.86 TDs per game (on 5.8 targets per game). That equates to 13.8 PPG (PPR), which is what Travis Kelce averaged last season as fantasy’s TE1. He was a red zone beast in 2015, with 13 touchdowns and is really the No. 2 target in the Bengals passing game after A.J. Green.

Fantasy Downside

Health is the biggest concern for Eifert and potential owners. He pretty much missed the whole season in 2014 and only played eight games last season. Also, a healthy Green could limit his productivity in the red zone, as Green is very efficient in the scoring area.

2017 Bottom Line

Eifert is ranked as our TE7 and has an ADP of 63. He can be thrown in the mix with Delanie Walker and Jimmy Graham, as far as production level for this season. But I actually think he will outplay both those players. Eifert is healthy and poised for a big season.

CIN TE Tyler Eifert - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs Pittsburgh
With A.J. Green out, Tyler Eifert has become the go-to guy in the passing game (especially in the red zone). Eifert had two touchdowns last week and now has four the past three games. His targets have not been as high as most owners might want, but the production is there.

Eifert didn't play in the first meeting against Pittsburgh and has had very little success against the Steelers in his career. The matchup is favorable though, as the Steelers are only 24th in aFPA to tight ends, so we expect Eifert to have the best game of his career against Pittsburgh. Start him in all leagues and formats as a top-5 fantasy tight end.

CIN TE Tyler Eifert - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Cleveland
After a strong game two weeks ago with A.J. Green out of the lineup, Tyler Eifert had only two targets and two catches last week. However, one was for a touchdown. We think Eifert will be the QB Andy Dalton's go-to-guy with Green out, so dismiss last week's performance.

This week, Eifert will face the Browns, who are 30th in aFPA to tight ends this season. Even though there is bad weather expected in Cleveland, Eifert can take advantage of that with ball possession and a short passing game. Start him as one of the top fantasy tight ends for Week 14.

CIN TE Tyler Eifert - Week 13, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs Philadelphia
Tyler Eifert was the biggest recipient of A.J. Green's absence with a team-high 11 targets that produced five receptions for 68 yards and touchdown. With Green expected out again this week, we should see more production again from Eifert.

The Eagles have been tough on tight ends and are third in aFPA this season. That should not slow down Eifert, who should have another big game. Start him as a top fantasy tight end for Week 13.

CIN TE Tyler Eifert - Week 12, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Baltimore
Tyler Eifert is starting to get back into the groove, and the Bengals might need him more than ever. With A.J. Green and Gio Bernard out, and the possibility Brandon LaFell missing Sunday too, Eifert might see double-digit targets in Baltimore.

The Ravens are ranked fifth in aFPA to tight ends, but he is one of Andy Dalton's remaining reliable targets and should still put up good numbers. Start Eifert in all leagues and formats as a top-5 fantasy tight end.

CIN TE Tyler Eifert - Week 11, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs Buffalo
Tyler Eifert was only targeted five times last week, which produced just three receptions. However, he did have 96 receiving yards. We expect Eifert to be targeted more and catch more balls. We also expect the Bengals to use him in the red zone on a regular basis.

Buffalo is ranked 14th in aFPA to tight ends, so the matchup is neutral this week. But Eifert is one of the premier pass-catching tight ends in the NFL and we expect the numbers to match that statement. Start him in all leagues as a solid TE1 for Week 11.
