Should Celek owners be looking to trade him this week? (1 Viewer)

[bleedgreen]

The Eagles offensive line is a mess and he will be helping a lot with blocking. The QB situation is in flux and will potentially be that way throughout the season. They have a brutal schedule coming up.

If he's a bust, this might be the week for owners to try to get maximum value from him since he got his most targets on Sunday and finally found the endzone.

What do you think and what are other Celek owners thinking?

Wouldn't deal Celek until he gets a full game with Kolb.

Should put up big numbers with Kolb in there.

Yes that's a possibility. But unless Kolb looks really good, Vick will be the QB again in 2 or 3 weeks. I just have a bad feeling that Celek will be putting up a lot of weeks with 3 or 4 points with maybe 1 or 2 big games. If Celek doesn't have a good game next week, isn't his trade value completely gone? Right now a Celek owner might be able to straight up trade with another owner of a more consistent TE.

If you think you can get something decent for him by all means trade him. I just think at this current time I'd rather hold on and hope for a good game with Kolb, then dump him off.

You make a good point. The 49ers are pretty terrible...right? Maybe it could pay off for owners to wait another week. The tough part of the schedule starts after next Sunday. I guess I could see an argument for either, since it could go either way.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

what could you get for him now anyway?

Yeah, it's slim pickings at the TE position in a 12 team league. Right now, anyone who's averaging between 6 and 7 fantasy points a game...I'd probably dump him for.

I don't understand your logic of trading him now. With Michael Vick's injury, Kolb is back in the picture. Wouldn't you expect good things from Celek now?

Vicks injury is temporary...it's painful, but he'll be back soon. Probably before the Eagles bye week, but most certainly after in the worst case scenario. The thing is, it's all up in the air. It's all a gamble. Kolb will have to look really good to win back his job. Maybe Celek looks good for a couple of weeks with Kolb, or maybe not...and if he does, chances are Vick is back anyway. It's a very uncertain situation for a guy who is supposed to be a top TE

At this point of the season, I would hope you had figured out that Celek is not a top TE. Had Kolb not got hurt in week one, Celek might have been a top TE.

Well yeah, the hope is that not everyone else in the leagues have figured that out. That's why I ask, try to deal him now (while the upside is still uncertain to some)....or hold for maybe another week.

 

[wlwiles]

I dropped Celek after week 2 when it was already obvious Vick isn't going to throw to him. I picked up Dustin Keller and haven't looked back, and nobody else in my league even flinched when they saw Celek hit the WW. He's not worth picking up unless your TE has a bye in the next 2 weeks (while Kolb is still playing) or its a deep 14+ team league. At this point I'd take the Rams TE over him.

 

[grouse]

As a Celek owner (not Kolb owner), I was fortunate to get both Vick and Moeaki on waivers. In North Korea, they can run the trains on one day, and have electricity in houses the next, but they can't have both going at the same time. That's kind of how I view Celek / Vick. Both are potential top-5 options at their respective positions, but it won't happen at the same time. So it's a hedge. Moeaki should hopefully provide alternative production when Vick returns. I'd be happy to trade Celek, but realistically there is too much depth at the TE position this year to get any meaningful deal done.

 

[Sack-Religious]

Unless you have a huge Eagles homer in your league who thinks Celek will become Antonio Gates, you're not going to net anything from Celek's "maximum value," right now.

As a Celek owner, I'm holding him because I really don't have another alternative. The TE depth this year is quite good, so most teams aren't hurting at the position.

If anything, I'd argue that Celek's value has currently bottomed out. At this point, you've pretty much got to hold on to him, hoping that he grabs a few TDs in the next few weeks at which point you may be able to move him.

 

[Sabertooth]

I'm hoping he rolls with Kolb. Then I'll sell, I've got the Celek-Hernandez combo and I don't think Celek will be as consistent as a rookie as crazy as that sounds.

 

[bweiser]

He was just cut in my league ... I'm leaning very strongly toward picking him up, though I hate his bye week.

My optimism is tempered by the Eagles' weak OL, which means he will stay in and block. However, he went 8 for 104 in each game Kolb started in 2009 and scored one TD.

 

[conboy]

I have Celek along with Shiancoe and Pettigrew, seriously thinking of dealing Celek.

 

[dagwood]

yes

 

[Dr. Awesome]

I just picked him up off the wire.

If you think Kolb will keep the job, imo Celek is a guy to trade FOR.

If you think Kolb will lose the job, imo Celek is a guy to sell asap.

It's as simple as that.

 

[Sack-Religious]

To those of you who are thinking of dealing Celek, what do you realistically expect to get back for him?

 

[Koya]

Celek. Trade? What are you going to get in return? If I needed a te, unless I'm trading one of my last two bench guys I'd probably just scour the ww.

Good post. Celek is a "hold" to see how this pans out with Kolb.

Is Celek still a "hold" or has he finally become a "drop"?

Drop him for redraft. For dynasty he's looking like a high-end TE2. Can't see him cracking the top 10 without McNabb throwing to him. His #4 finish last year was his ceiling, and he'll never reach it again. With the development of Maclin and McCoy, Celek just won't get enough targets.

 

[bleedgreen]

When I started this thread, I didn't realize how far the drop-off was in fantasy production for TE's this season, once you go outside of the top 3.

So I never got anything for him as he wasn't really worth much, with a lot of other average TE's available on waivers

...kept him until this week and finally dropped him.

Picked up Tamme off of waivers and I can't image he'd have worse production then Celek has had so far.

 

[bocksheesh]

If Celek is sitting on waivers in a 12-team league, is this guy still worth something? Anything? Or is he just dead and buried?

He was such a big part of the offense last year. And it's hard to put that ALL on McNabb just loving him. Reid must have liked him too, no?

Or is it just b/c the Eagles OLine is worse this season, and Celek is called in to block a lot more?
