Tight End Garrett Celek
While Marquise Goodwin is receiving a lot of credit in the passing game, it’s impossible to overlook tight end Garrett Celek, who has also become a favorite target for Jimmy Garoppolo over the middle.
And Celek had three key receptions for 63 yards, including a critical 41-yard catch and the Niners’ lone touchdown grab on the day:
Prior to Garoppolo taking over, Celek had just three games in which he recorded 60-plus yards. He’s now done so in back-to-back games, emerging as a key red-zone threat and playmaker the Niners offense so desperately needs.
Oh, and he also leads San Francisco’s offense with four receiving touchdowns too.
