Is Dustin Keller ready to make the fantasy football jump in 2010?
If you read my article on Dustin Keller’s twitter post then you know he has high expectations for his fantasy statistics in 2010, but why should we? Heck anything would be better than Keller’s 09 stats where he only yielded fantasy owners 45 receptions for 522 yards and 2 touchdowns. But after his performance in the postseason, 12 receptions for 181 yards and 3 touchdowns (one TD per game), Keller’s upside is obvious to those paying attention.
But why is everyone sleeping on Dustin Keller? No doubt he has some reason for concern:
And none of this worries me one bit. If you’re on the bad end of a TE run fear not when you select Keller over Heath Miller, Kevin Boss and even the overvalued Greg Olsen! Miller might seem like a more stable option but Big Ben’s suspension hurts his value and hey, we’re looking for a sleeper after the TOP 10 TE‘s are gone, right?!
Dustin Keller, TE – New York Jets
By the numbers:
Summary: Dustin Keller said it best “I’ll make your pick more than worth it” and I’m on board! As the 16th TE off the board in current fantasy football drafts he is a steal. We have Keller currently ranked 15th but that is due to the fact he is indeed a sleeper. I can see Keller finishing in the bottom 10 of a very deep TE draft class.

(Sports Network) – Mat Latos attempts to win his seventh straight decision this evening, when the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers close out a three-game series at Petco Park.
Latos, who had recently been sidelined with a strained left oblique brought on by a sneeze, has won his last six decisions and is 11-4 with a 2.48 earned run average on the year. He returned from the disabled list to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday, holding them to two runs and seven hits in six innings.
“I thought he threw the ball well from the first inning on,” Padres manager Bud Black said of Latos in his return. “Hopefully he’ll do what he’s done all year.”
Latos has allowed just three runs over his last five starts and has also allowed two runs or less in 13 of his last 14 outings. He lost to the Dodgers in his only career start against them, which took place last season.
San Diego evened this series at a game apiece on Wednesday, as Jerry Hairston Jr. drove in three runs and Clayton Richard was solid in six innings on the mound, helping the Padres to a 6-1 win.
Richard (8-5) gave up one run on four hits for the Padres, who bounced back from a 2-0 loss in the opener of this series. He also struck out six and walked one.
Chris Denorfia, Nick Hundley, and Adrian Gonzalez each had an RBI for NL West- leading San Diego, which has won four of five.
“We really don’t put that much pressure on ourselves,” Hairston said. “We just got out and have fun. Maybe this team doesn’t know any better, but that’s a good thing.”
Jamey Carroll knocked in the lone run for the Dodgers, who had a three-game winning streak snapped. Hiroki Kuroda (8-9) went six-plus frames in the start, giving up three runs on four hits to take the loss. He also fanned five batters and walked two.
“He had good stuff today. We just couldn’t get a win for him,” Dodgers catcher Russell Martin said of Kuroda afterward.
Getting the call for the Dodgers tonight will be righty Vicente Padilla, who is 4-3 with a 3.41 ERA. Padilla did not get a decision on Friday against the New York Mets, but allowed two runs (one earned) and six hits in seven innings of his team’s 6-1 loss.
Padilla has faced the Padres 16 times (seven starts) and is 2-1 with a 3.23 ERA.
Los Angeles has won five of seven over the Padres this year, including a three-game sweep at Petco Park from May 14-16.

Anthony Tolliver was one of the NBA’s pleasant surprises last season. After going undrafted out of Creighton in 2007, the 6-9, 240-pound forward played for three different D-League squads and two teams overseas before really getting a shot in the NBA. But once he go there, he sure as hell made the most of it. [...]
