Shockey or Celek?

[Chrgrs17]

My league doesn't require owners to start a TE so there are a lot of good ones still on the market. Shockey and Celek are both on the waiver wire. I want to trade Miles Austin for one of them. I screwed up and picked Austin in the last round thinking he would be the #2 receiver in Dallas, but Patrick Crayton took that job over. Anyway, which TE do you like better for this week? How about the rest of the season? i love both of them.

Scoring system:
10 receiving yds= 1 pt.
every 3 receptions= 1 pt.
tds= 6 pts.
win= 1pt.

shockey if he stays healthy, the west coast offense, philly's, doesnt use tight ends that much, only reason celek has been doin well is because kolb sucks and has a hard on for him

I was in the exact same situation as you: aren't forced to start a TE, and had to decide between Shockey and Celek.

I chose Shockey, mostly based on his match-up Sunday. The Bills simply haven't been able to cover the tight end this season. Week 1, Ben Watson had 6 receptions (77 yards) and 2 TD's; week 2, Kellen Winslow Jr. had 7 receptions (90 yards) and a touch down in addition to fellow Bucks tight end Jerramy Stevens having 3 receptions (24 yards) and a touch down.

Shockey should find the end zone this Sunday. But with my luck so far, he'll have two catches for 10 yards.

i disagree, look what celek did last 3 games last year, he starts and he plays the chiefs and can catch alot of balls and they have 2 wr's out

Go with Shockey, NO is on a roll that probably won' t slow much all year.

Go with Shockey. He's developed a rapport with the top QB in the league.

Mine?

Everyone (including me) said Shockey, so of course Celek goes off.

Celek has had a great season, and I expected him to have a down week after having two great weeks to start the season. How wrong I was with advising you to take Shockey, and taking Shockey myself.

In all fairness, Shockey did lead his team in receptions, but didn't find the end zone. I don't think anyone could have foreseen Brees throwing under 200 yards and 0 touch downs against a crummy defense.
