Celek insists he'll be the best TE on the block

Jun 15, 2009

Eagles TE Brent Celek, a fifth-round pick out of Cincinnati in 2007, became one of QB Donovan Mcnabb's go-to receivers after replacing injured L.J. Smith in the 2nd half of the 2008 season. He caught 3 passes, including 1 for a TD, in the Eagles' playoff-clinching, 44-6 win over the Cowboys in Week 17.

Celek is doing everything he can to make sure he's up to the task. He has spent much of the offseason in the weight room and the film room, and will be joining McNabb and the other receivers in Arizona for their pre-training-camp passing camp.

"I've lowered my body fat," he said. "I've put on some weight. I got stronger. I'm around the weight I want to be [about 260] and I'm going to keep working to get stronger."

In the film room, Celek has watched hours of tape of some of the league's top tight ends, particularly the Cowboys' Jason Witten and the Redskins' Chris Cooley.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
