Tyler Eifert

The move saves the Jaguars $5.25 million against the cap. After injuries ruined a span of his career in Cincinnati, Eifert has been able to stay healthy the last two seasons, appearing in 31-of-32 games. In his lone season with Jacksonville, 30-year-old Eifert turned 60 targets into a 36-349-2 line across 15 games. His 52-615-13 year in 2015 was an extreme outlier. Eifert will likely have to settle for another one-year deal.

His first year out of Cincinnati led to a 36-349-2 receiving line on 60 targets. Likely due to injuries, Eifert appeared to be moving a step slower as a 30-year-old in 2020. His 5.8 yards per target were a career low. The Jaguars have the cap space and draft capital to bring in Eifert’s replacement this offseason. It’s certainly possible that the Jaguars cut the veteran to save $5 million against the cap. Either way, Eifert will not be fantasy relevant for the rest of his NFL career.

Eifert has just two touchdowns and one 50-plus yards game on the season.

Eifert caught an impressive 28-yard pass in garbage time. He had the second most yards among Jaguars pass catchers in the blowout loss. As the team's primary pass catching tight end, Eifert has some value as a streaming option in the deepest fantasy formats. Eifert has a fantastic Week 16 matchup against a Chicago defense that has been generous to tight ends all year.
