49ers' Garrett Celek: Could see increased offensive role in 2016

Celek is an early favorite to co-start with Vance McDonald at tight end this season, the Mercury News reports.

Analysis:

Celek was recently signed to a four-year extension, indicating that the 49ers plan to implement him in the offense. With Chip Kelly's fast-paced offense and heavy use of two-TE sets, Celek could be in line for an expanded role after putting up 186 yards and three touchdowns in 2015.
