TE FA
Tony Scheffler caught three passes for 20 yards and a touchdown in Detroit's Week 14 loss to the Packers.
Pressed into a major role with Detroit paper thin at receiver and Brandon Pettigrew missing a large majority of the evening with an ankle injury, Scheffler was ineffective, catching just 3-of-9 targets. Despite his 6-5 frame, Scheffler didn't come down with a number of jump-balls, and simply didn't make plays for a Lions offense that badly needed him to. Although Scheffler could be peppered with targets again in Week 15 if Pettigrew ends up sitting out, he'd be nothing more than a low-risk, low-reward TE1.
