Summary

Tight End Rank: #18All Players: #105

Keller enjoyed his best season as a pro, setting career highs in receptions and yards. He had 10 more catches than his previous high and nearly 200 more yards than his best. Keller also scored five touchdowns, which matched his career best. Keller had a 100-yard game last season and 50-plus yards nine times. He was a pretty consistent factor in the Jets' offense. In the last two seasons, Keller averages 60 receptions for 751 yards and five touchdowns per season. Keller has plus speed for the tight end spot and very good hands. He has a good feel for finding the soft spot in the middle of the field. He is improving as a blocker, but still lacks some in that area. He is a favorite target of Mark Sanchez, which gets him plenty of weekly targets.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Keller still isn't an elite tight end but just outside that group. He is a pretty consistent starter for fantasy teams. His numbers won't be off the charts but solid. You can expect a season with around 700 yards and five touchdowns. You could do better but you could do worse. Just make sure you get a solid backup if you go into the season with Keller as your No. 1. He isn't as sure of an option as some of the top tight ends out there.
