SUMMARY
Tight End Rank: #18   
Overall: #98


Despite having more options to compete with at receiver for targets, Keller enjoyed his best season to date last year. He set career highs in receptions, yards and touchdowns. He finished with just fewer than 700 yards. Keller had four games with 75 or more yards and even enjoyed a 100-yard game. He scored his five touchdowns the first four games of the season. Keller failed to score the rest of the season. Keller has been a consistent No. 1 tight end for the Jets, averaging 49 receptions for 581 yards and three touchdowns per season since entering the league. 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 has become a low-end No. 1 tight end. He isn't among the top options but a decent starter after taking his game to a new level last season. His lack of scores remains a concern, but he can get 60 catches for 700 yards in this offense. Take him off the top guys are off the board but don't feel too bad about having him as your No. 1 tight end after you load up on other positions.
