Is Dustin Keller a sleeper TE in this year's draft?

Question

He was the first receiver taken in the draft. The Jets traded up to take him. He caught 142 passes for 1,882 yards and 16 TDs at Purdue.

I'd like to wait until the 10th round of later to pick up a TE. What do you think of Keller's prospects?

Answer 1

Last time that I talked to his momma he was sound asleep.

I think that you are correct. He certainly could be a big contributor this year.

Good luck. Have fun.

Answer 2

If he had a better QB he would be a really good sleeper.

Not sure how he will go with Pennington as QB.

Answer 3

The poster who said he'd be better with a bomb QB is an idiot. TEs go off when QBs throw accurate short and intermediate routes better  than deep.

That sure sounds like Chad Pennington's game. I say Keller has a bigger chance than most rookies to shine this year.

Answer 4

I love your thinking.  Keller is a stud.

That said, you don't have to draft him, best part.

Waiver wire, and you'll look like a god if he blows up.

Rare is the the rookie WR/TE that ends up being amazing in fantasy.  Use the wire for Keller.

Draft a name brand TE, then pick up a backup like Keller just to be s**y.

Answer 5

Yes

they said he was the most talented and athletic person in this draft class

I think he is better than antonio gates but needs a better QB who can throw the ball to him

I think though in his career he might get switched to WR when they see how good he is at recieving

Answer 6

He could be good, but take a guy like Scheffler or Daniels in the 10th, and then Keller at the end. He is not even being drafted in most leagues. I really like Owen Daniels to have a nice season in Houston.

Answer 7

I'm sure if you want him he will be there on your last pick.  believe me nobody is going to get him unless you have a Jet fan in your league.  

He really be a sleeper, I would take Zack Miller from Oakland before him.

good luck
