3 Sleepers
Zach Miller- Miller is a very young tight end and has loads of potential. Miller finished sixth in receiving yards, seventh in targets and eighth in receptions by a tight end. All while being on one of the leagues worst offenses, the Raiders. Last year Miller caught 56 passes for 778 yards and 1 touchdown. These numbers aren’t eye-popping but they are pretty good, for a second year tight end at least. Zach Miller is 9th tight end on my Top 200 and could be even higher. If any tight end was going to break out and have an amazing season it would be Zach Miller. He is a player that you can get in the 12th round with a 7th round value. This year I predict monstrous numbers for Miller, 76 receptions for 998 yards and 6 touchdowns.
John Carlson- Carlson just played his first year in the NFL last year. He was a second round pick out of Notre Dame and drafted by the Seahawks. Even with Seahawks Quarter Back woes, Carlson still put up pretty good numbers. 55 receptions for 627 yards and 5 touchdowns. Carlson will get a lot more looks this season now that he has proven himself as a reliable tight end. If Matt Hasselback can get healthy and be back to his own self, Carlson’s numbers will be even better. I predict 61 catches for 700 yards and 6 touchdowns
Tony Scheffler- Scheffler was very productive last year, when he was healthy, which was not often. When Jay Cutler wasn’t passing to Brandon Marshall or Eddie Royal, he was passing to Scheffler. But he was battling a groin injury all year long. He has lots of talent but I’m not sure he is a good fit in Josh McDaniels offense. But new QB Kyle Orton isn’t very accurate on the deep passes so he could use a talented tight end like Tony Scheffler. Last year Scheffler led all tight ends with 16.1 yards per catch average. This year I predict 48 receptions for 591 yards and 4 touchdowns.
