Fantasy Upside
Brent Celek is as tough as they come in the NFL. He's put together some very good seasons in the league and is a legit red zone target and good hands and just overall smart. Celek can pretty much do it all at the position which of course keeps him on the field, and in an offense like the Eagles which run a lot of plays, that's obviously a good thing.
Fantasy Downside
The presence of Zach Ertz eventually limited Celek last year although the Eagles never really featured either TE. This year, Ertz is supposed to take that next step and pass Celek on the depth chart, thus earning more time and targets. The Eagles are supposed to feature Ertz and the TE position more this year but we heard that just about every week last year and it just never happened.
Bottom Line
I'm not convinced Celek won't have a role in the offense. If anything, he's going to limit Ertz this season who is ranked higher and expected to emerge as the TE1. Celek probably won't see a lot of draft day action and outside deeper leagues with multiple TEs, he probably shouldn't. He's a guy to keep an eye on in deeper leagues, though. He should have some decent games, however the problem will be trying to predict when they are.
