As any fantasy streamer can tell you, the New York Giants are the team to target when looking for a tight end. The Giants rank dead last in the NFL defending the position, allowing 13.7 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. Through eight games, tight ends are averaging 5.8 catches, 70.6 yards, and 1.1 touchdowns per game against New York, with the Giants allowing at least 1 touchdown in every outing. On Sunday, Garrett Celek will look to make it nine in a row as he and the San Francisco 49ers face Big Blue.
In Week 10, Celek will be making his first start of the season for the Niners after George Kittle was ruled out. With Kittle sidelined early in the first quarter last week, Brent's brother saw a season-high 55 snaps, turning that into four targets. An experienced pass catcher, the tight end pulled in 29 catches for 350 yards and 3 touchdowns while starting six games and playing over 58% of the snaps last season. Factor in the opponent plus the opportunity, and Celek is in good shape to reward the select few (1% Yahoo! ownership) who put their faith in him this week.
