SUMMARY
Tight End Rank: #8   
Overall: #77


Carlson was one of the few healthy options in the passing game for the Seahawks last season and took advantage of his playing time. He was the top rookie tight end, finishing with 55 receptions for 627 yards. Carlson should be the starter in Seattle for years to come. And their new West Coast offense could be a good fit for him. Carlson has good hands, runs solid routes and has decent speed. He has a knack for making plays. He should continue to improve with more seasoning.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Carlson isn't a top No. 1 tight end, but moving close to that category. He should go just after the top guys like Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates. Carlson can reach 800-receving yards and seven or so scores.
