Fantasy Impact: Tyler Eifert's Injury

Fantasy Football Expert Mark Morales-Smith breaks down the impact Tyler Eifert's injury has on the Fantasy Football community.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert has undergone ankle surgery in late May and is in danger of missing the start of the 2016 NFL season. He was a breakout star last season. In just 13 games, Eifert caught 52 passes for 615 yards and 13 touchdowns. Before getting injured in mid-December Eifert was Fantasy gold. He was all but assured to be a top three tight end Fantasy option this season. That may no longer be the case.

The surgery Eifert underwent was considered minor.
