Player Spotlight: Tony Scheffler (1 Viewer)

2008 Player Spotlight Series

One of Footballguys best assets is our message board community. The Shark Pool is, in our view, the best place on the internet to discuss, debate and analyze all things fantasy football. In what's become an annual tradition, the Player Spotlight series is a key part of the preseason efforts. As many of you know, we consider the Player Spotlight threads the permanent record for analyzing the fantasy prospects of the player in question. Last year, we published more than 140 offensive spotlights covering the vast majority of expected skill position starters. This year will be no different.

Each week we will post a list of players to be discussed. Those threads will remain open for the entire preseason, and should be a central point to discussion expectations for the player in question. Importantly, analysis done in the first week of posting will be part of the permanent record in two ways. 1) At the end of the week, we will tally the projections into a consensus. 2) We will select a number of pull quotes from forum contributors who make a compelling statement or observation. Both the projections and pull quotes will be part of a published article on the main website.

Thread Topic: Tony Scheffler, TE, Denver Broncos

Player Page Link: Tony Scheffler Player Page

Each article will include:

In order for this thread to provide maximum value, we ask that you follow a few simple guidelines:

Focus commentary on the player in question, and your expectations for said player
Back up your expectations in whatever manner you deem appropriate; avoid posts that simply say "I hate him" or "He's the best"
To be included in the final synopsis and consensus outlook, you MUST provide projections for the playerProjections should include (at a minimum):

For QBs: Passing Yards, Passing TDs, Ints, Rush Yards, Rush TDs
For RBs: Rushes, Rushing Yards, Rush TDs, Receptions, Receiving Yards, Receiving TDs
For WRs & TEs: Receptions, Receiving Yards, Receiving TDsNow let's get on with the conversation! We look forward to your contributions and let me offer a personal thanks in anticipation of the great debate and analysis.

 
Pretty soon, you're going to see a lot of people coming here saying a lot of things about Tony Scheffler. You're going to hear them say how he's Cutler's roommate and best friend, and how there was a clear bond between the two players, evidenced by the huge uptick in production when Cutler entered the lineup in 2006. You're going to hear about how Scheffler is one of the best receiving TEs / H-Backs in the league in terms of pure receiving ability, presenting the best ability to create mismatches and find holes in a defense Denver's had since Shannon Sharpe left town. You're going to hear about how Scheffler's end-of-year numbers don't do his talent justice, seeing as Plummer never used him, and how he only registered 2/37/0 over the first five weeks COMBINED last year (including nothing over the first four). You'll hear about how Cutler is a young rising star who is going to make Denver's passing attack a fantasy force for years. You'll hear about how Brandon Marshall's troubles mean more work for Scheff. You'll hear how if you took the last 5 weeks of 2006 and added the last 11 weeks of 2007, Scheffler would have posted 59/731/9. You'll hear how Denver has historically had a very TE-friendly offense, even when Byron Chamberlain and Desmond Clark were running the show.

It's all true. Scheffler is a stud.

60/800/8

 
Like Daniels, I like this guy as a late/cheap TE option w/upside or as a backup. I have a lot of other preferred options, but he's worth a look.

I think Scheff is going to take off this year assuming his foot is fully healed. He spent the offseason working out w/ Cutler and w/ the injury and legal issues surrounding Marshall, I think that only helps Scheff's case. Your prognostication of 60/800/8 sounds about right to me. Great value pick considering his current ADP. :thumbup:
 
Finished Top 12 in most formats last year. Almost assured of a top 7 season this year if the foot is truly healed.

My opinion of the Shanahan regime to be forthright on injuries isn't too great though.

 
It's hard to add much to what SSOG said. He pretty much covered it all. If you prorate his last 11 games after the bye week, he would be 68-745-7. That already puts him around 6th in most scoring systems. I think he'll improve a little on that:

75-900-8

I'm pretty much in line with this. Somewhere between 60 and 70 catches and 700 and 800 yards with around 7 TDs.If he's healthy, he's going to probably have comparable #s to guys like Chris Cooley (or maybe Todd Heap, if Heap is lucky), but you don't have to pay the Cooley sticker price.

Scheff is one of 5 who I think should produce those kind of stats if healthy - Gates, Witten, KW2 and Gonzo being the others.SSOG is right on the money here. :popcorn:

So, what's your prediction?
 
There's a lot of question marks about the Broncos offense. Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall, and Tony Scheffler all have some kind of health issues. Each one could affect the other. Things should become more clearer in training camp and the preseason.

 
I think this is the year Scheffler really comes through. He's been under the radar, but on the minds of fantasy sharks since he was drafted.

Signing Graham kind of worried me last season, but he still caught 50/550/5. With Walker gone, Marshall with a torn artery in his arm (which I hear is healing nicely), this offense needs as much help as it can get. Scheffler is this year's "sleeper" TE, or TE who will make the biggest climb. This year he'll be a starter for fantasy teams, with top 5 potential

70/875/9

If it's less than 68-745-7, it would be less than the pace he played at last year. Is that what you're projecting? There really isn't too much room between those two sets of projections.
 
600-6

That's barely more than last year(less per game.) I just think he'll be given more attention by defenses this year and the TE position as a whole is likely to come back to earth a little. Plus, they added D-Jax, Colbert, Parker and Royal. At least 1 of those guys should step up and produce something. Factor in a recurring foot issue.

I have Scheffler 9th at TE and I think its easier to make a case for him being lower than higher.

 
I will admit it.

I have man love for Scheff

But it is because i live in Kalamazoo.

Scheff and this other kid, what is his name, WR for the Packers, Jennings or somoene,

anyways,

Both are character kids

You mix talent, desire and Character and you have a winner.

Scheff is a top 5 TE. Freaky skills and tools and a good QB. And the most important thing in a keeper/dynasty league: He wont show up on a police blotter.

wow - lots of manlove for sheffler - before i take all these projections giving him gonzo like numbers - can any homer confirm a clean bill of health?

 
There are four TEs I like more than Scheffler and those are the Top 4 in the FBG rankings. I don't mind reaching at all for Scheff but I know I won't have to. Bill Walsh had it right when he said that it didn't matter where he drafted a player as long as that player performs.

Denver doesn't seem to worried about it, from what I've read, so I'm not too worried about it. It's early enough that my opinion can still change, but the lack of camp didn't really hurt him last year once he got rolling, so I'm going to treat the injury as mostly a non-issue until I see something that suggests I shouldn't.The bigger concern with Scheffler, imo, is whether he'll get any red-zone love. Putzier was ALWAYS pulled in the red zone because he was a terrible blocker. Scheffler is likewise no threat to throw a block, but last year he scored *ALL FIVE* of his TDs in the red zone (on 7 targets- what efficiency!). That's enough to assuage my concerns that Daniel Graham is going to play the Kyle Johnson/Dwayne Carswell TD Vulture role.

I'm seeing a lot of surprisingly low ypc estimates for Scheff. Yes, he had 11.2 ypc last year, but Denver's historical TE usage indicates a higher number is more likely. Generally, the receiving TE (whether it's Scheffler, Sharpe, Putzier, Chamberlain, or Clark) is looking at somewhere in the 13-15 ypc range. I'm more inclined to believe that last year was a fluke than a harbinger of things to come, especially since Scheff usually doesn't even have the pretense of blocking responsibilities to keep him near the LoS.

He's not at 100% yet, but I haven't heard anything to indicate he won't be by season's start.

Pretty much sums it up for me, well mostly the increased attention part anyway. I have him around TE12ish and wouldn't go lower, but could go a little higher. Again I like him as backup possibility w/upside; I just like about 11 other TEs better.

He was TE10 last year on essentially 12 games of stats. Does it really take 1 year for defenses to readjust their attention?
 
OK...so what's the latest on Scheffler? Hasn't been an update since 7/22. Homers...PLEASE chime in and provide a prognosis. Is he a steal in the 10th per ADP? Likewise, does Cutler (ADP 7.05) look good? Like he is going to get Scheffler the ball? In the red zone? Overall, how is Cutler looking? Poised for a good season? Will Denver be throwing?

not to hijack the thread, but Gonzo won't up great numbers in a Chan Gailey offense..those days of Gonzo being a top 5 TE are probably gone forever..Sheff should finish as TE 6-8...up there with Owen Daniels and LJ Smith...but I doubt he finishes in the top 5..

 
i'm still high on Sheff as in the top 10 this year - Cutler looks great. Wish he would go to Sheff more in the preseason though - how has he looked in games?

I agree as I posted similarly in the DEN GB game thread. I thought I had a sleeper in Scheffler and now I'm feeling that he could be among my first cuts. I drafted him and Utecht as sleepers at TE but I'm a little nervous about Scheffler.

Nate Jackson - saw him a bit in college and not impressed at all. Doubt he'll ever get a chance in DEN unless Scheffler or Graham is out for stretches.

Odd to see the lack of targets Scheffler's way this preseason - unless it's because the Cutler-Scheff connection is so good already, that they wanted to throw to the new WRs more.

Maybe...but the Denver staff likes Jackson. He's another WR turned TE that has done nothing but produce when not injured and he has been taking targets away from Scheff so far this preseason...he started and played extensively in the 3rd preseason game, which may or may not be a sign of things to come.
 
This is concerning to me as a first time Scheffler owner:

Nate Jackson was the Denver Broncos' second tight end when training camp started, and he has played well enough to keep that spot.

Unless there's a change in the two weeks that remain before the season starts, that might not be ideal news for Tony Scheffler.

Jackson has worked ahead of Scheffler in two tight-end sets with Daniel Graham since the start of training camp. When Graham sat out Friday's preseason game against Green Bay with a hamstring injury, Jackson started with the base offense. Jackson and Graham started the second preseason game, when Denver opened in a two tight-end set.

In his start against the Packers, Jackson caught two passes on a 99-yard scoring drive, including a 9-yard touchdown pass. Scheffler started the drive by dropping a short pass.

Scheffler acknowledged in training camp that he figured he was battling Jackson for a spot with the first-team offense in two tight-end sets. That spot is an important one for the Broncos, because they often use the second tight end to get a mismatch in the passing game. Playing mostly in two tight-end sets last year, Scheffler had 49 catches for 549 yards, despite not having a catch through the first four games.

He didn't have a catch in the first month of last season because Jackson was ahead of him on the depth chart. Then Jackson suffered a season-ending groin injury and Scheffler moved up. Scheffler said he figured he will be a big part of the offense right away this year.

"I'm not worried about it," Scheffler said. "I think I proved myself last year that I can make plays for this team and I think I'm going to be a big part of things." When asked about Jackson after Friday's game, Broncos coach Mike Shanahan made a point to praise Scheffler as well. Through three preseason games, Scheffler has four catches for 55 yards. Jackson has five catches for 39 yards and a touchdown.

"I've been pleased with Nate, and Tony has stepped up," Shanahan said.

Last year, Scheffler broke his foot in an offseason minicamp and missed all of training camp, which gave Jackson the opening to be the second tight end. He rebounded from his season-ending groin injury to have a good training camp this year, which is impressive considering he said he isn't quite 100 percent.

"It's a constant struggle and I'm not happy 100 percent with where my body is and I work on that every day and I feel pretty good about where I'm at," Jackson said.

Jackson was given another chance this offseason because Scheffler had his own injury issues. He missed some minicamp practices because of persistent pain in the foot he broke last year. He said that set him back.

"You miss two rounds of the whole offense being installed and get out of football shape, so you spend that first week-and-a-half of camp catching up," Scheffler said.

I know a number of posters and staff are local to Denver. Do you guys have any insight on what we can realistically expect from Scheffler and the DEN TE situation this year?

Thank you very much for that article.My take on it, is that I think it would be a major upset if Sheffler is bounced from his job, health permitting. Cutler and he put up some eye-opening numbers late last year.

Jackson and Graham are blocking TE , they cant catch a beach ball .
 
Is Jackson's blocking any good? This is critically important for a TE's value. If he can't block, then he's a "converted WR" in name only, and will either be a blocking liability or be a TE who the defense knows must be running a pass pattern, greatly reducing his value.

i just reviewed the drives during first half of the GB game, and this is what i saw:- lined up wide, run play- blocked Jenkins, run play- lined up wide, not near play- lined up tight, not near play- in motion, blocked kampman, run play- lined up tight, short route- lined up tight, blocked no one- lined up tight, short route (a little blocking downfield)- lined up in slot, opposite side of play- lined up in slot, run play- lined up tight, blocked popinga- lined up tight, nice cross route for a reception and first down- lined up tight, short route opposite side of play- lined up tight, blocked popinga- lined up in slot, blocked popinga- lined up tight, assisted in blocking kampman- lined up in slot, TD reception
 
from cbssportsline:

News: The Olympian reports that TE Tony Scheffler is currently listed as the backup pass-catching TE in Denver behind Nate Jackson. "I'm not worried about it," Scheffler said. "I think I proved myself last year that I can make plays for this team and I think I'm going to be a big part of things."

Analysis: Scheffler had a nice last two-thirds of the season in 2007, but that was after Jackson went down with an injury. Most people thought Scheffler had the inside track heading into this season, but he was slowed by a foot injury early in camp and now Fantasy owners will really have to worry about what kind of production they'll get out of him in 2008. He remains a No. 2 option, but you have to drop him down to very low end of that category with this latest news.

As one of many owners who named Sheff a keeper is he worth holidng onto or is he now WW fodder? Just signed the guy a few weeks ago thinking he would be a cheap solid TE - now junk? Never again with a Denver player!

I think FUBAR is stating that he will be surprised if Tony isn't the go-to guy in Denver, not the opposite.
 
And here I thought I got great value in the 10th round yesterday with him being the 11th TE off the board. F Shanahan.
