Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said TE Tony Scheffler could receive a bigger role on offense this season because of his ability to be a receiver as well as a blocker in the offensive scheme. The team may look to get Scheffler into more favorable matchups this season.

Our View: Scheffler is a good move TE with the speed to consistently attack the deep middle seam of the defense. He’s a matchup player, but will still have to split targets at the TE position with Brandon Pettigrew.
