What to do with this guy!!!! Clearly an elite talent but did not perform during regular season and hurt me in my FF league.

The fact that the Jets were running the ball more than passing has a lot to do with it. Now that Sanchize has 1 year under his belt, he will be able to run more plays. Keller's production should go up next year.

It is a Keeper league up to year 6. TE get 1 pt per catch and 1 pt per 10 yds. RB get 1 pt per 10 yds no pts for catches, just yardage.

Coach says Keller will be fantasy football steal this season

rotoworld,
Coach Rex Ryan predicts that TE Dustin Keller will be a fantasy football steal this season.

In the past, he was often taken off the field to get an extra blocker for the ground attack. With the Jets loosening the reigns on Mark Sanchez, though, Keller will be able to exploit one-on-one coverage against a safety or linebacker. Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is even adding "specific wrinkles" for Keller this year. If his playoff production (average of 4-60-1 in three games) is any indication, a breakout season is on the horizon.

:rolleyes: I believe this like I believe the Mona Lisa is a picture of my sister....and I don't HAVE a sister.

time to look at reality here. They are a run first team. They just acquired late last year and early this year two Wrs. Add to that a second year Qb coming off knee surgery. I don't think they open anything up this year.....and protect the young guy by limiting his passing. So yes, I think they may target passing more in some games..but I think Keller stays in and blocks more than he recieves.

More from cbs.com,

The New York Daily News reports that Jets TE Dustin Keller could see his role significantly expand this season with the addition of Santonio Holmes to an already talented receiving corps of Braylon Edwards and Jerricho Cotchery. That should create opportunities for Keller to thrive against single coverage. "Teams are scheming to double team guys like Braylon, Santonio and Jerricho every time," Keller said. "That'll leave things wide open for me. It just makes it easier for me because I'll be one-on-one against a safety or linebacker. I've yet to find a linebacker that's that great of a cover guy. I think it definitely could benefit me big time. But time will tell." The report says Jets coach Rex Ryan went so far as to predict Keller could be a Fantasy Football steal this season. "I think he will get more touchdowns," Ryan said. "It should open things up. Playing tight end, it's hard to cover those guys, just like with Dallas Clark in Indianapolis. You have to pay so much attention to those three receivers that sometimes you have to isolate a safety or a linebacker on him and that's to his advantage. I think Dustin can give us the same kind of mismatch. That's what you’re hoping for."

Analysis: Keller scored more touchdowns (three) in three playoff games than he did (two) in 16 regular-season games. He finished last year with 45 catches for 522 yards, but those stats should improve. We like Keller as a low-end No. 1/high-end No. 2 Fantasy TE, and he's worth a late-round pick in all leagues. We hope that Ryan's prediction will come true.
