Tony Scheffler was held catch-less in Week 4.
Scheffler is about a 30-percent player in the offense, even if he's caught a few touchdowns because he plays in red-zone packages. It's become clear through four games that Brandon Pettigrew is the Detroit tight end to own. Scheffler has a mere three receptions on the year, and was targeted just once Sunday.

Tony Scheffler (hand) returned to practice Sunday.
Scheffler missed Friday's game after getting stitches in his hand. Though he could see a few more looks early in the season with Titus Young coming along slowly, Stafford isn't draftable in standard-sized leagues as the Lions' second tight end.

Tony Scheffler won't play in Friday's preseason game after getting stitches in his hand.
The injury isn't serious, but Scheffler has fallen off the fantasy radar. Even though Matthew Stafford prefers Scheffler, the Lions aren't expected to run too many two-tight end sets this season. Brandon Pettigrew to be the primary tight end and the 2011 Draft Guide projects Scheffler for just 31 catches.
