Scott Chandler

Week 13 vs Philadelphia
With TE Rob Gronkowski figuring to miss at least this weekend, backup Scott Chandler should see a nice role for the Patriots. Last week he put up a reasonable 5-58-1 line, starting off in two TE formations before taking over for Gronk as the primary TE. While there will be a noticeable real and fake football drop off from Gronk to Chandler, Chandler should be a solid TE1 streamer this weekend and should see quite a few targets.

Week 17: Chandler vs Patriots

Scott Chandler was back in the end zone last week for the first time since Week 13. The Bills tight end had his usual four catches, but the touchdowns are where his fantasy value emulates from.

He will face a Patriots team that is 30th in aFPA to tight ends and Chandler had his best game of the season in the first meeting with New England catching six passes for 105 yards. The Pats secondary has been good at covering wide receivers, which has left tight ends to have some big games. Still, because of Chandler's overall body of work, he should remain on the bench for Week 17.

Week 15: Chandler vs Packers

Scott Chandler had a season-high eight catches and 11 targets last week, but the Bills also threw the ball 57 times so this isn't a big surprise. Definitely, look at that as a one-time deal as the Bills are not expected to throw the ball that much this week and Chandler's history doesn't show him near those numbers on a weekly basis.

Chandler will face Green Bay, who is 12th in aFPA to tight ends so the matchup is fairly neutral which is even more reason to keep Chandler on the bench for Week 15.
