Should Bengals pursue a reunion with TE Tyler Eifert in free agency? Should the Cincinnati Bengals like up with an old friend?
FEBRUARY 25, 2021 • USATODAY.COM
Free agency likely The Jaguars are expected to decline the team option for Eifert's contract in 2021, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Eifert was expected to earn slightly below $5 million in 2021, but now it looks like he will be entering free agency. He recorded 349 yards and two touchdowns across 15 games for Jacksonville in 2020. It was the 30-year-old's only season with the Jags after spending his first seven years in Cincinatti.

One reception in finale Eifert caught one of two targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 28-14 loss to Indianapolis.
Impact It was a quiet finish to an underwhelming season for the 30-year-old, and he totaled 36 catches for 349 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games. The fact Eifert missed only one game is good news given his injury history, but it didn't lead to much production with the Jags. He could return to Jacksonville if the team exercises his $5 million club option for 2021, but the new front office and coaching staff may decide to go in a different direction.
JANUARY 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Two catches Sunday Eifert caught two of five targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Bears.
Impact The 30-year-old ranked tied-second on the team with five targets, but he was unable to turn that production into anything worthwhile. There's simply no week-to-week consistency in Eifert's production, and he hasn't eclipsed 30 receiving yards in back-to-back games this season.

FANTASY PLAYS: Players to start and sit for NFL Week 16
Championship week has arrivedDECEMBER 23, 2020 • Associated Press
Sets season high in yards Eifert caught three of four targets for 51 yards during Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Ravens.
Impact It's the first time this season Eifert has gone over 50 receiving yards, with a 28-yard reception late in the third quarter accounting for most of the yardage. Even with Jacksonville trailing all afternoon and down 26-0 at halftime, the production in the aerial attack was modest. Eifert has 33 receptions for 322 yards and two touchdowns through 12 games, so his fantasy prospects remain limited heading into Week 16.
DECEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Avoids injury designation Eifert (quadriceps/knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Baltimore.
Impact The 30-year-old never practiced fully at any point this week due to the two injuries, but neither will affect his availability for the game versus the Ravens. Though he's been Jacksonville's No. 1 tight end all season, Eifert has turned in a modest 30 receptions for 271 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games.
DECEMBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Practices in limited fashion Eifert (quadriceps/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Eifert's absence from practice Wednesday was characterized as a maintenance day, but the fact that he had two injuries listed alongside his name still makes his status worth tracking ahead of Sunday's game in Baltimore. While the tight end took a step forward by getting back on the practice field Thursday, he may need to put in a full workout Friday to avoid taking a designation into the weekend.
DECEMBER 17, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Nursing quad and knee injuries Eifert had a scheduled day off at practice Wednesday but is listed with quadriceps and knee injuries.
Impact Eifert was questionable due to a shoulder issue but managed to suit up last week, and he now appears to be nursing two new injuries. The veteran tight end has regularly received a rest day to begin the week this season, so what he's able to do in practice Thursday and Friday will be more informative as to his Week 15 status.
DECEMBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Totals 22 yards Eifert caught both his targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Titans.
Impact The 30-year-old played 45 of 71 offensive snaps but rarely was involved in the passing game despite Mike Glennon and Gardner Minshew combining for 54 pass attempts. Eifert's six catches for 45 yards Week 13 likely represents the ceiling for his weekly production in this offense.
DECEMBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Ready to play Sunday Eifert (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Impact Eifert was considered questionable due to the shoulder issue, but the injury won't prevent him from suiting up Sunday. The 30-year-old played a season-high 72 percent of the offensive snaps last week while catching six passes for 45 yards, and he'll continue to operate as Jacksonville's No. 1 tight end.
DECEMBER 13, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable Week 14 Eifert (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The 30-year-old began the week not practicing but returned as a limited participant Thursday and earned the questionable tag. Eifert appears on track to play in Sunday's divisional matchup, though James O'Shaughnessy is in line to start if he can't play.
DECEMBER 11, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Upgrades to limited practice Eifert (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.
Impact Eifert didn't practice in any capacity Wednesday, so bumping up to limited reps is a tangible step in the right direction. Of course, it's also worth noting that the veteran tight end has regularly had his practice activity managed this season. As long as he's able to practice in some capacity again Friday, Eifert should be in good shape to suit up for Sunday's game against the Titans.
DECEMBER 10, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Doesn't practice Wednesday Eifert (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact Jacksonville's injury report had the reason for his absence listed as both a scheduled day off and a shoulder injury, suggesting this was likely just a maintenance day for the veteran tight end. If Eifert's able to resume practicing Thursday and Friday, he'll be in good shape to play Sunday against the Titans.

Records six receptions Eifert caught all six targets for 45 yards during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.
Impact The six targets set a season high, as Mike Glennon targeted Eifert and his fellow tight ends (James O'Shaughnessy and Eric Saubert) 13 times. Jacksonville's tight ends haven't found much involvement in the passing game all season, but they played a significant role Week 13. Eifert could have more fantasy relevance for the closing stretch if that trend continues.

Jaguars sticking with Glennon even though Minshew is healthy
Quarterback Mike Glennon is getting another start for the Jacksonville Jaguars even though Gardner Minshew is fully healthyDECEMBER 2, 2020 • Associated Press
Secures second touchdown Eifert caught three of four targets for 16 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Browns.
Impact The 30-year-old had his usual minor involvement in the passing game with Mike Glennon starting at quarterback, and he had his first touchdown reception since Week 2. Still, it's not exactly an encouraging performance as the meager involvement came with wide receivers DJ Chark (ribs) and Chris Conley (hip) sidelined. Eifert is too dependent on touchdowns to be a consistent fantasy option outside the deepest leagues.
