10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 12

Brent Celek, TE, Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia's preferred pass catching option at tight end, Zach Ertz, is likely to sit out Thursday's matchup with the Detroit Lions with a concussion. Ertz's absence will open up a window of opportunity for veteran Brent Celek this week in a decent matchup that he has the potential to exploit.

In Ertz's absence last Sunday, Celek saw 10 targets from Mark Sanchez, which he turned into 7 receptions for 79 yards. This after going off for 134 receiving yards in Week 10 against the Dolphins.

While Celek is regarded as a blocking tight end these days, it's important to note that he does have two 800-plus yard receiving seasons under his belt. With an opportunity to face off against a Lions defense that has allowed the eighth most fantasy points to tight ends on the season, Celek has the ability to take advantage and post a solid fantasy day on Thanksgiving.
