The 2013 first-round pick signed a one-year deal with the Bengals this past offseason that came with a chance to prove his worth and durability. Unfortunately, Eifert proceeded to miss more than half the season following a gruesome ankle injury in the fourth game of the season. Eifert is a high-risk player, but he is still a young 28-year old tight end who has caught 21 career touchdowns and 1,774 total yards. In Eifert's career year (2015), he ranked fifth among all tight ends (87.5) and earned the highest passer rating when targeted (145.1) among qualifying tight ends.
