Today is tight end Garrett CelekPDTShareTweetShareShare49ers 90-in-90: TE Garrett CelekIt appears that Celek Time was was only the briefest moments before fading away. The man known as Celek Time returned to Garrett Celek who is our subject today. The 49ers had no answers at the tight end position. It was George Kittle, Celek, and then whoever else they could sign/available UDFAs. In 2018, the tight ends behind Celek were lackluster; dropping touchdown passes the chief problem. Celek wasn’t too far behind. He failed to cross 100 receiving yards for the first time since 2014 and had a paltry five receptions compared to 2017’s 21. Some of this is to blame for a broken thumb that Celek suffered.But broken or not, at the end of the season, Celek still couldn’t do much. This of course may have led to the 49ers drafting Stanford tight end Kaden Smith, as well as the speculation that wide receiver Jalen Hurd could be used as a tight end as well. All that said, Celek is not a bad tight end,just underwhelming. And if the jump from 2017 to 2018 is any indication, inconsistent as well. Given the age/production of the tight ends behind him, he should have one more year to produce. It’s the last season on his contract, afterall. But the 49ers are clearly looking to get younger and cheaper at the position. The 49ers got as much as they could out of another UDFA. That’s for sure.Basic infoAge:30 (turns 31 on May 29)Experience: 7th seasonHeight: 6’5 Weight: 252Cap Status He is entering the final year of a four-year agreement paying him $1.7 million. If cut before June 1st, the 49ers will have a cap savings of $2,078,125.What to expect in 2019The tight end position begins with George Kittle Womens Kentavius Street Jersey , but it won’t be ending with Celek like it has in the past. Expect to see more of the same out of Celek, but an even less snap count as Kaden Smith will get some needed playing time. Given that he is removed from that nagging thumb injury in 2018, Celek should have a bit more of a presence in the pass-game and take some pressure off George Kittle in dual tight-end sets. He won’t return to his 2017 numbers (21 receptions, 356 yards, four touchdowns), but we’ll at least see him **** a bill in terms of yardage. The 49ers have other tight ends with higher ceilings and will look for any excuses to get them on the field to develop. Odds of making the rosterThe 49ers tight end position has been a thin one and that isn’t changing much in 2019. They have gotten a third tight end in Smith who could become No. 2 by season’s end which removes third string releases/sits they had last year. Hurd also could be used in a swiss army-knife-like role as well. So that’s three bodies behind Kittle, two of which are no doubt going to be tight ends. Celek will be on the roster for his inexpensive salary, experience, and the 49ers depth of the position unless a UDFA and Smith combine to outplay him at training camp, but even then it’s doubtful. The 49ers take a larger dead money hit after June 1, meaning if they had no desire to keep Celek on a roster, they’d have released him by now. He could still be outplayed and removed in roster cuts, but it’s unlikely. All that said, this very well could be his last season in a 49ers uniform. With so many season-long leagues shifting to their playoffs, lots of fantasy players are turning toward daily game — especially if they’re no longer contending for the title.And key injuries like those to running backs James Conner Jimmy Garoppolo Jersey , Matt Breida and Melvin Gordon have created opportunities in daily fantasy without the downside seen in seasonal leagues.Here are a few situations that will be pivotal in Week 14:JAMES CONNERThe Pittsburgh running back having a strong year replacing Le’Veon Bell is out against Oakland with a sprained left ankle, creating a huge opportunity for Jaylen Samuels. Samuels is a top five value in DailyRoto’s projections at his price for both FanDuel ($4,600) and DraftKings ($3,700). While head coach Mike Tomlin indicated Conner will be replaced by a committee, Samuels has the most appeal. Samuels averaged five catches a game during his senior year at NC State and will be the first back targeted in the passing game and 2-minute offense. Samuels has outsnapped Stevan Ridley 2-1 over the previous few weeks and even with a conservative projection of 50 percent of rushing attempts, he projects for top five value. While a “fade” or pivoting off of Samuels may be viable on FanDuel, where touchdowns are critical, he should be a staple of DraftKings cash games and tournament lineups this weekend.MATT BREIDAWith Samuels a trendy option, one name that could fly under the radar as a pivot is 49ers running back Jeff Wilson, who costs just $5,600 on Fanduel and $3,800 on DraftKings. When Matt Breida went down with an injury in Week 13 it was Wilson who emerged, playing on 73 percent of snaps and getting 15 carries and eight catches. With San Francisco again projected to be playing from behind, Wilson could receive more checkdowns from Nick Mullens. They key to watch with Wilson will be the news around Alfred Morris and Matthew Dayes. Both were inactive last week, leading to Wilson’s large workload. If either are inactive again this week it could be a sign that San Francisco is willing to trust the undrafted free agent with a heavy workload. Like Samuels Roger Craig Jersey White , Wilson was a strong receiver in college with over 500 yards on 70 receptions and could be particularly valuable in the point-per-reception format on DraftKings.The other benefit of Wilson is his game starting in the late afternoon window. Both FanDuel and DraftKings offer the ability to use late swaps, allowing you to edit rosters for games that have not yet started. Samuels will be the highest owned player this week and savvy fantasy owners who need to catch up to their opponents will leverage late swaps to pivot off Samuels to Wilson.MELVIN GORDONGordon projects to remain out again in Week 14 and Austin Ekeler eased any doubts about his workload in Week 13, playing on 78 percent of snaps. Some fantasy owners may be scared off by his results, ending with just 43 yards, but his workload is encouraging with 13 rushing attempts and eight targets. On the season, Ekeler is averaging 0.35 fantasy points per snap, which is higher than a few notable names, including Christian McCaffrey, James Conner, Ezekiel Elliott, Joe Mixon and David Johnson. Ekeler is particularly attractive at a $6,700 FanDuel price and also a strong play at $6,200 on DraftKings. Look for Ekeler to provide a strong boost in a game where the Chargers have a 31-point implied team total and are 14-point home favorites.
