The Baltimore Sun surmises that Ravens TE Todd Heap should be more of an offensive weapon in 2010 because he won't have to block as much as in the past. This is because the Ravens have a pair of quality bookend tackles in Michael Oher and Jared Gaither. The paper also reported that offensive coordinator Cam Cameron said Heap has had an outstanding offseason, which suggests that he's in good health heading into training camp.
Analysis: Heap's biggest knock has been that he's injury prone, but he's suited up for every game over his last two seasons. The bigger reality is that there are far more qualified tight ends out there for Fantasy owners to check out than Heap, who might be good for 600 yards and six touchdowns in 2010 (remember, the Ravens added WRs Anquan Boldin and Donte Stallworth, and they'll take targets away from Heap). We like Heap as a No. 2 Fantasy TE, but that's about it. He can be passed up on Draft Day unless you want to carry a second tight end.
