2020 Fantasy Outlook
Ebron's 2019 was probably doomed as soon as Andrew Luck retired. A 14-TD season the previous year was a testament to the QB more so than his TE, with Ebron piling up scores despite posting 6.8 YPT and the fourth-highest drop rate (7.3 percent) among TEs. Ebron actually improved to 7.2 YPT last year, but the drops (11.8 percent) got even worse, reminiscent of his Detroit days. Nagging injuries were a factor, as his season ended in November when he decided to have surgeries on both ankles. A lengthy rehab process didn't scare away the Steelers, who handed Ebron a two-year, $12 million contract. The 27-year-old received medical clearance in May and doesn't expect to miss any practice time this summer. While the contract suggests Ebron should get most of the TE targets, 30-year-old Vance McDonald is only two years removed from a 610-yard season with 8.5 YPT, so there is some competition.

Tests positive for COVID-19
Ebron tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebron previously sat out the Steelers' Week 17 loss to the Browns following his placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list, which came after he was deemed a close contact of an infected person. He cleared all health-related protocols ahead of last weekend's loss to Cleveland in the wild-card round, turning in a productive outing with seven receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. Though the Steelers' season has now come to an end, Ebron's positive test resulted in the team shutting down its facility. Ebron will have to complete a quarantine period before he's allowed to resume working out with the team, but assuming he experiences no complications in his recovery, he should be ready to go by the end of the month.

2014
For four years, Ebron was the designated scapegoat for the Detroit passing game. He was known for his untimely drops and occasional no-shows, and he never came close to living up to his lofty draft pedigree (10th overall pick in 2014). When Ebron signed with the Colts last year, half of Michigan offered to drive him to the airport. And here's where the story flips. Sparked by a Pro Bowl QB and a modern, creative play designer, Ebron broke out in his fifth season. His 13 touchdown catches eclipsed his entire four-year TD count in Motown, and the Colts even farmed him a 14th score on the ground. The efficiency stats weren't that much different from the Detroit days, which forces the question that maybe the Lions never trusted Ebron enough. For Ebron to keep his spot in the set-and-forget tier, he'll need to hold his market share amidst a crowded receiving tree. He was fourth in TE targets, and perhaps more important, third in TE red-zone targets last year. That's where the money is made. With Jack Doyle back healthy and Devin Funchess imported from Carolina, it's likely Ebron sees a notable dip in his 2019 spikes. That said, the Colts feel like they got the genie out of the bottle with Ebron, and those types of things don't always return to previous levels. Price in significant regression this year, especially with Andrew Luck no longer under center for Indy.
