McDaniels: Scheffler a 'weapon': Tony Scheffler has no beef with Broncos coach Josh McDaniels and insists he's on board with the team's new game plan. Scheffler and McDaniels sat down to discuss the tight end's role with the team. The conversation was cathartic. There were rumors swirling in the offseason that Denver was shopping Scheffler, not sure how he would fit into the new, intricate offense McDaniels was implementing. The meeting with McDaniels staunched those. These days, McDaniels is envisioning a big role for his reliable receiving tight end, who's looks slimmer and sleeker, and the coach admits he's never coached a tight end quite like Scheffler, one with the ability to stretch the field with a combination of speed and athleticism. "Tony is probably the most skilled pass-receiving tight end that I've had an opportunity to be around," McDaniels said. "That's a weapon for us that we can move around on the field. We're going to try to feature him in that role."

Fantasy Analysis

This was encouraging news for owners considering Scheffler this summer. When he coached the Patriots' offense, tight ends weren't really used as often as we had hoped, but perhaps that was because they weren't as highly regarded as Scheffler. Naturally, with the Broncos' offense expected to be plenty aggressive with the pass Scheffler makes sense as a potential sleeper for the 2009 season. Learning how McDaniels feels about him only enhances his outlook. Scheffler is a good middle- to low-end No. 1 Fantasy TE who should be found late in nearly every draft this summer.
(Updated 05/29/2009).

TE Tony Scheffler started his offseason wondering what his role was with the team. As OTA practices went on, it became very apparent that coach Josh McDaniels will find a big role for him. The Patriots weren't tight-end friendly with McDaniels calling plays, but Scheffler is the kind of talent McDaniels has to utilize. He is fast and has great hands, and is a matchup problem for most teams. Also, Scheffler had a healthy offseason, and could have a breakout year if he avoids injuries this season. 62/5/2009
