Headlines

Shiancoe needs to overcome frustration: For all the emotion and energy that emerges on NFL fields, the league has a cold, scripted side that can lead to drudgery. Visanthe Shiancoe did what he could last season to find the creative outlets he needed to maintain mental health. He needed the escape. It was a rough year. "It keeps you sane, man. I'm telling you, if you just work and work and work and you don't play, man, you would go nuts," the Minnesota Vikings tight end said. "And the next thing you know, one day you're just going to go, 'Aaaarrrggghhh."'

Fantasy Analysis

Fans often made a similar noise last season toward Shiancoe, who signed a five-year contract worth as much as $18.5 million -- including $7 million guaranteed -- and caught a mere 27 passes for 323 yards and one touchdown. The low production wasn't all his fault. It takes awhile to learn a new system, and the passing game struggled through three different starting quarterbacks. He dropped too many balls, though, and a couple of those came in the end zone. During practice on Monday, Shiancoe appeared to be hanging onto the ball more tightly. Has he cured himself of the problem? "Time will tell," head coach Childress said, smiling. "Time will tell." Look for Shiancoe to improve this season, but he remains a No. 2 Fantasy TE. Hopefully he is good enough to use during the bye weeks in 2008.
