Fantasy Football: Gates vs. Scheffler? [EdMcGon]
2007-12-18 16:51:00 As I was getting ready for the first round playoff game in my fantasy football league last Thursday, I was reviewing the last minute news when I saw there was a strong possibility that Antonio Gates, my tight end, would not be playing (he has a minor back injury).I was faced with the dilemna of taking a chance that Gates would play, or take a chance on my backup tight end, Tony Scheffler of the Broncos. Even though Scheffler is only a backup for the Broncos, he has had a few solid games this year, his best game coming against the Bears when he had 5 catches for 82 yards and a touchdown.Deciding it would be better to take a chance on Scheffler and get SOME points, rather than the potential goose egg I was looking at from Gates, I played Scheffler. I made the right choice, since he got 7 catches for 100 yards and one beautiful touchdown. Gates did play, but only got one catch for 8 yards.(I should state that I would have won the game regardless of who I started at tight end, as I won ...

The Value of Tight Ends and Tony Scheffler
2007-12-10 10:49:00 I just read a great story about TEs. The link is: http://www.sportingnews.com/you-rturn/viewtopic.php?t=315658 The article say a lot of nice things about Tony Scheffler while discussing the discovery of TEs as a valuable commodity. I won't go into detail here (I'm working on several diaries at once, some of which I want to save for the LONG offseason). At some point I would like to address this further. For now I'll just throw out some tidbits. The evolution of football is such that TEs should be becoming more prominent. The last great offensive system craze was the "west coast offense". It was countered by teams running versions of the "cover two". The answer to the cover two isn't so much a scheme, but a position. TEs are almost designed to operate in the seam, which is the weak area of the cover two systems. Most TEs either block well or catch well, but all have to do both to some extent. Can't block? You'd better be ...
