Tyler Eifert - Tyler Eifert moves around during minicamp

Cincinnati Bengals TE Tyler Eifert lined up at tight end on both ends of the offensive line as well as a slot receiver during the team's rookie minicamp. Eifert said he believes he is picking up the offense relatively quick.
Huddle Up: Eifert is expected to be the "move" tight end in Cincinnati, with Jermaine Gresham relatively stationary as the "in-line" tight end. They'll still split looks, but Eifert could cut into slot receiver targets as well which would give him a leg up as a fantasy entity.

Bengals TE Tyler Eifert worked on both sides of the line and in the slot on the team's first day of rookie minicamp on Friday.  He's already noticing similarities between Cincy's offense and the one he ran at Notre Dame.  “A lot of the things I’m learning are a lot of the same plays we had in with two TEs — move me around in different positions,” he said. “Today I was out in the slot quite a bit. I think I’m picking it up pretty fast.”  A big, fluid athlete, Eifert is capable of making an immediate impact in the passing game.  Of course, fellow TE Jermaine Gresham and stud WR A.J. Green will demand their fair share of targets.  Eifert figures to be too inconsistent to be a fantasy starter in 2013.  But he'll

The Bengals showed they are not above being trendy by spending a first round pick on Notre Dame Tyler Eifert despite already having Jermaine Gresham on the roster. Now comes the matter of implementing effective two-TE sets. During the team's mini-camp, just like he was with the Golden Domers, Eifert is lining up just about all over the field. "A lot of the things I'm learning are a lot of the same plays we had in with two tight ends mdash; move me around in different positions," Eifert said on Friday. "Today I was out in the slot quite a bit. I think I'm picking it up pretty fast."

Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden indicated the team could use two-tight end sets more often this season with TEs Jermaine Gresham and Tyler Eifert. Gruden said the team will still be using three-receiver sets like they did last season.
Huddle Up: Gresham (Cincy) and Eifert (Notre Dame) combined for 114 catches, 1,422 yards and 9 TDs in 2012 and gives Guden & Co. another offensive dimension to go along with the 3-WR sets and run-heavy looks utilizing BenJarvus Green-Ellis and/or second-round rookie Giovani Bernard.

Tyler Eifert - Bengals want Eifert to be difference maker

Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said he believes TE Tyler Eifert can be a difference-maker for the team if he becomes more of a blocker. Gruden said the team will see what kind of blocker Eifert is during their rookie minicamp and work with him from there.
Huddle Up: Improved blocking would likely keep Eifert on the field over Jermaine Gresham in one-tight end sets; he's already being pegged as the "move" tight end in two-TE formations. Expect the Bengals to find ways to use Eifert to take advantage of coverages geared towards stopping A.J. Green.

Bengals OC Jay Gruden confirmed that the team will use more 2-TE sets this year with Tyler Eifert joining Jermaine Gresham on the field.  Cincy used 2 TEs on just 23% of their plays last year.  They went with 3 WRs 53% of the time.  Those numbers could easily flip-flop in 2013.  "It's very easy to take out that third receiver and put a tight end in there and call the same plays," Gruden said. "A lot of it is the same thing. It's a matter of keeping the personnel on the field that you want to dictate. Every year you have a draft and you have some new toys, so things change. You have to adjust."  It sounds like Gruden is essentially treating Eifert as a WR -- good news for his fantasy value.  Meanwhile, slot man Andrew Hawkins

Tyler Eifert, CIN (1st Round) -
Perhaps a sign the Bengals aren’t happy with what they’ve seen from Jermaine Gresham as they went for the top tight end in this years draft, with one of their two first-round picks.

I had the chance to hear an interview with Eifert on Movin’ The Chains, about a week before the draft and they asked him if he’d visited any teams for workouts.

To my surprise Eifert told them he hadn’t visited teams, but radio host Pat Kirwan said that was a good thing in his case because it meant teams “knew” what they were getting in him.

While Eifert isn’t in the greatest situation for the early

When it comes to rookies conventional wisdom no longer applies. With a few notable exceptions, most first-year players, particularly quarterbacks, were once thought to be multi-year projects, the Steve McNair approach – observe, learn and wait.

But in this day and age where instant gratification is constantly sought after, time isn’t of the essence. Several players picked in April are immediately pressed into competitive situations where often times they emerge as the go-to option, evident in the rapid ascension of guys like Robert Griffin III, Doug Martin and Josh Gordon, to name a few, last year. Because nuances from the college game are commonplace

Bengals OC Jay Gruden insists Jermaine Gresham is still the starting tight end despite Thursday's selection of Tyler Eifert.

Bengals draft TE Tyler Eifert

The Bengals used a first-round pick on a tight end for the second time in four years Thursday. Cincinnati spent the No. 21 selection on Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert. The Bengals already have Jermaine Gresham, the 21st pick from the 2010 draft, who has gone to the past two Pro Bowls. But the Bengals needed to add more firepower to their offense. FANTASY ANALYSIS: Granted, I didn't think they would add to that offense with another tight end. However, it's working out really well for the Patriots. In Cincinnati, Gresham can be the in-line tight end while Eifert lines up all over the formation. He's not a speed merchant, but he has very, very good hands, and that's got to be something the Bengals coveted after Gresham dropped 10 passes

The Cincinnati Bengals selected Notre Dame TE Tyler Eifert with the 21st overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: The Bengals were projected by many to go with a RB or WR here but were thrilled to get the top available in Eifert, the former Notre Dame standout who will pair with veteran TE Jermaine Gresham and ideally take some defensive attention away from No. 1 WR A.J. Green.

The Cincinnati Bengals signed free-agent FB/TE E. Alex Smith (Browns) to a one-year deal with a $840,000 base salary and a $65,000 signing bonus.
Huddle Up: Smith made a strong first impression with 41 catches for 367 yards in his rookie season, but that's now been 8 years ago. Those 41 grabs, in fact, have been a single-season career high for Smith who only caught 28 passes and 1 TD over the past 3 seasons with the Browns. In other words, it's going to take a Jermaine Gresham injury for Smith to gain any fantasy traction.

'They had a game plan that had a matchup problem with [TE Jermaine Gresham] and they felt like they could go to him. Things happen like that. All games aren't perfect. That's one thing we need to build on. We just need to capitalize. Not only getting me the ball, but just making some of the big plays.' Green finished the game with four catches for 80 yards.

For the first time in the fantasy era, a pair of tight ends were weighed by drafters at the Round 1 turn. In the eyes of millions, Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham, off historic 2012 campaigns, were position titans equal to or better than some of the virtual game's most established wide receivers. Unfortunately, injuries and inconsistency hindered the duo in the follow-up. Overall, after a year of unprecedented production, the position as a whole slipped. Though still deep, only four TEs finished the season with at least 120 total points in traditional formats, the lowest total since 2008.

Lewis asked rhetorically.  "I think it's important for our team to play well. We are going to play to win the football game. [We're playing for] improvement."  Andy Dalton, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, A.J. Green, and Jermaine Gresham will be safe to use in fantasy this weekend.

Over the past three weeks Hernandez has come back and performed for fantasy owners like we expected, an elite option at his position. During that span of time 26 receptions (no fewer than eight in a game), 247-yards and three touchdowns.

If there's one thing you can count on from NFL analysts, it's this: Every year, we declare that there's never been a season like the current one. So loaded with surprises. So full of unimaginable events. Who could have predicted any of this? No one.

Of course this is the stance most of us have to take, because it's our job to predict things, and the NFL remains stubbornly unpredictable. The only thing truly consistent about the modern league, year to year, is its tendency to shock us. (Well, that and the Patriots. But they were clearly sent by Skynet).

Outside of Jimmy Graham, Tony Gonzalez, Aaron Hernandez and Jason Witten it’s starting to get ugly at the tight end position for fantasy options. Super star names like Vernon Davis and Antonio Gates continue to play way below the expectations we have for them, while other options like Kyle Rudolph and Brandon Myers have good games then disappear for a week or two.

After the top names, look to Jermaine Gresham as the most reliable player for production. For the first time last week Gresham has had at least 43-yards in a game or he’s made up for it with a touchdown in the past six straight weeks.

The Raiders are horrible and changes will be coming in Oakland soon after the season is over, once again. For all the problems this team is having there is one man who won’t let this team down, nor his fantasy owners and that is Brandon Myers. Part of Myers success is the Raiders playing from behind every week, but give the young tight end credit as he’s put together 69 receptions for 721 yards and four scores on the season. Last week was a career game with 14-receptions, 130 yards and a touchdown against the Browns.

Couple the recent play of Chad Henne with Coach Mike Mularkey’s willingness to put the football up, and Marcedes Lewis has new life and fantasy relevance. Against the Texans, Lewis grabbed two touchdowns and came back last week for four receptions and 56 yards last week.

Lewis won’t be a game breaking option but we should expect thm to continue to with a pass heavy game plan going forward.

What has been another up and down season for Davis in terms of his stats, should turn into two solid performances in a row as San Francisco heads out to New Orleans this week.

Someone in Cincinnati needs to step up as a consistent No.2 option in the passing game. While Jermaine Gresham has the ability to be that option, he needs to show us he can put together consistent numbers.

Three weeks ago Gresham had 68 yards and a score, only to go for 19 yards before the teams bye week. Gresham bounced back against the Broncos with six receptions for 108 yards and for the second time in three weeks, he has a play of over 50 yards.

Because of the way the Bengals are structured as a team, Gresham should continue to benefit from the Bengals finding themselves in pass heavy situations weekly. Consider Gresham a low-end TE1 going forward, even if
