Tight End Rank: #90
Overall: #589
Heller saw a big dip in production last season, catching four passes after having 29 receptions in 2009. But Heller had a lot of competition at tight end, making him third on the depth chart. Things aren't likely to change this season for Heller. He has double-digit receptions three times in eight seasons. Heller remains more of a blocking tight end. He should continue to play a reserve role, getting a few chances in the passing game.

Heller reached his peak a few years back. He isn't likely to return to that status in the near future. He'll be fortunate to have double-digit receptions, giving him next to no value for fantasy teams. |
