5. Brent Celek, TE, Philadelphia Eagles

32 catches, 502 yards, 15.7 YPC, 6 TDs – 18.7% TD Rate

Another weapon from Kelly’s considerable arsenal makes an appearance. In his seventh (!) season in Philadelphia, Celek saw a few changes to his role. His 32 catches was his lowest single-season total since 2008, when Celek caught 27 passes as a second-year player — but his 15.7 YPC is easily his career high. Kelly found ways to distribute the ball to a wider variety of targets while maximizing the damage to the defense with each additional play.

As is the case with Cooper, appearing tied for ninth on this list, Celek should also benefit from extended continuity within the offense, combined with the departure of DeSean Jackson.
