In the past two games, Celek has had the most targets and receptions in Philly, along with two scores.

What say the FSB on his value looking forward?

He was a big part of the game plan against Dallas hence the good game there. However his targets have seen an uptick each week so depending on your TE situation I think you could do worse. Also don't believe the Bears are great against TEs

I picked him up to play this week (Olsen on BYE for carolina).

I'm hoping for good things.

The theory is that the Eagles O line was in shambles near the beginning of the season, so Celek stayed behind to block much more thus limiting his potential as a pass catching TE. Now that the O line is healthier, Celek is getting the opportunity to run routes much more frequently.

Or, the last two games could have been merely a fluke because of game planning to exploit the weakness of cover 2 defense.

This^^^

But the bears are give up the most fantasy points to opposing TE's so he may be in for another big week. I picked him up to play in place of Vernon Davis this week becuase of this. Forecasting his future production is tough though because philly has so many weapons

I really like Celek going forward, personally.

The Eagles offense is actually shifting to a more balanced attack, and they are trying really hard to get Vick to play within himself and the system rather than just running around making wild plays.

As a result, you get games like Sunday, where he doesn't have the dazzling runs or 80 yard bombs, but he's picking targets, making the right reads and just playing solid and efficient football.

Teams have been playing 2 deep safties to shut down the deep go routes that the Eagles love to run. It has opened the middle wide arse open for Celek. Will be interesting to see if teams start trying to stop the middle with Celek and it opens things back up for Jackson deep again.
