Recent Game Summaries

2018 Week 15 vs SEA (2 / 2 / 61 / 1 rec)

Celek didn't play more snaps than he usually does (around 30 percent as a blocking tight end), so he only warrants mention because one of his receptions produced San Francisco's longest gain of the game. It should not come as a shock that it was less an individual feat than perhaps the easiest touchdown Celek has scored in his career. Lined up in a three-point stance next to right tackle Mike McGlinchey, Celek ran a seam route uncovered through Seattle's zone. And after he caught the pass 16 yards downfield, safety Tedric Thompson -- Seattle's last line of defense -- slipped on the wet turf, thereby allowing Celek an uncontested (lumbering) jaunt into the end zone.

2018 Week 2 vs DET (2 / 2 / 22 / 1 rec)

Celek saw far more playing time than last week because the 49ers used two-tight end sets with greater frequency. However, he was used mainly as a blocker, as he only ran six routes all game. One of those ended up in a red zone touchdown, of course. On the play, he lined up on the back side of a three tight end formation (i.e., away from the other two tight ends), and ran a shallow cross. Most impressive was that Celek caught the ball at the 5-yard line, but was able to barrel through two tacklers and carry them into the end zone.
