Visanthe "The Anaconda" Shiancoe (1 Viewer)

From Wiki:

"After a victory over the Detroit Lions in 2008, Fox aired a segment in the Vikings' locker room of Vikings owner Zygi Wilf presenting the game ball to coach Brad Childress' son, Andrew, who had enlisted in the Marine Corps the day before. In the background, Shiancoe was shown unclothed for a moment, exposing an anaconda, before covering himself with a towel."

The Anaconda has put in a workmanlike effort this year and made himself a top 8 TE. How do you foresee his prospects for next year?

I think, with 7 TDs, this is about his upside. I can't imagine him leapfrogging the 7 guys ahead of him (Gonzalez, Witten, Clark, Gates, Daniels, Cooley, Carlson) and I could see a few surpassing him (ZMiller, Keller, Winslow, Scheffler).

Is top 12 likely next year? Here are his numbers for this year.

He's no kracken.

The guy has learned to hang onto the ball and with play action can be a solid TE1 to be had late. He is athletic and the offense puts an emphasis on the TE.

Shiancoe and Carlson could be very nice bargain TEs next year.

So glad my opponent benched him for Shockey this weekend!

He is awesome!
