Pros: One of KFFL's 2009 sleepers, Celek held true to our projections and broke out in a big way. He finished with 76 catches for 971 yards and scored eight times - all career highs. The Eagles' offense calls on the tight end position often, and first-year starting quarterback Kevin Kolb should rely on Celek as the passer develops. In Kolb's two starts last season, the pair connected 16 times for 208 yards and one score. 

Cons: Even though Kolb and Celek had chemistry in two games last year, that doesn't necessarily mean they will have success over a full season. The Eagles have several promising wide receivers in their passing game, and running back LeSean McCoy is a strong receiver, as well. Celek caught four or fewer passes in 10 games.  

Fantasy tip: Celek is drafted, on average, in the sixth round. This is a fair placement, but realize you are taking on a mild risk. He should have a fine season again and is a midrange No. 1 tight end in all formats.
