Fantasy Outlook:

Why should you draft Jeremy Shockey: Over the last two seasons, Jeremy Shockey has averaged 757 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.  Last season, Shockey had nine games where he had at least four receptions.

Why you may want to stay away from drafting Jeremy Shockey: Shockey has yet to play a full 16 game season in his five year career. In 2006, Shockey failed to hit the century mark in receiving yards in any game, and he was held scoreless in nine contests.      

Bottom Line: Shockey is still one of the premier fantasy tight ends in the league, and he will likely be drafted in the middle rounds.
