In Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks last season, Gerald Everett was targeted a career-high 11 times, catching seven passes for 136 yards. This was the first time Everett had eclipsed 50 yards in a game since Week 2 of his rookie campaign when he had three catches for 95 yards against Washington.
Unfortunately for Everett, he had 134 yards in his first two career contests but only 12 catches on 28 targets for 110 yards over the next 14.
In that time, teammate Tyler Higbee wasn’t doing much better. Higbee had only 17 yards in the first two games of 2017 — his second — and then Higbee posted a career-high four catches for 98 yards in Week 5 against the Seahawks.
