Patriots | Scott Chandler failed physical Wed Mar 2, 06:40 PM
Updating a previous report, New England Patriots TE Scott Chandler (undisclosed) was released with a failed-physical designation Wednesday, March 2.
| Footballguys view: Chandler was useful on occasion, but not a big fantasy producer. We'll see if he can heal up and then find a home somewhere else, though we doubt he'll be much of a fantasy factor. |
Patriots | Brandon LaFell, Scott Chandler cut Wed Mar 2, 04:59 PM
New England Patriots WR Brandon LaFell and TE Scott Chandler were released Wednesday, March 2.
| Footballguys view: LaFell might end up coming back, but both he and Chandler hadn't been consistent enough to warrant keeping around. |

Jets | Scott Chandler could interest Jets Sat Jan 30, 05:58 PM
New England Patriots TE Scott Chandler could interest the New York Jets if he's cut as he put up good numbers with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick and offensive coordinator Chan Gailey with the Buffalo Bills.
| Footballguys view: The Jets have to find better answers at the tight end position. Guys like Jace Amaro and Zach Sudfeld aren't the answer, but a guy like Chandler could be. Chandler has a big frame and can box out smaller defenders for the football. We'll see if he's available this offseason. |

New England Patriots TE Scott Chandler had five receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown in the Week 12 game against the Denver Broncos.
| Footballguys view: The reports have been positive about Rob Gronkowski's injury, so Chandler may not pay off as big as he could. However, the Patriots are running out of weapons on offense. More of Chandler could be in the mix by necessity. |

Patriots | Scott Chandler sidelined Wed Aug 12, 11:52 AM
New England Patriots TE Scott Chandler (undisclosed) will not play in the first preseason game with an undisclosed injury.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots reveal very little about injuries, so we can't say much about Chandler's issue. Chandler has missed four straight practices. We're interested to see how they'll use him this year, but he's got to be available in practice in order to earn a role. |

Patriots | Scott Chandler seeing a lot of work Thu Aug 6, 06:38 PM
New England Patriots TE Scott Chandler is seeing a lot of targets in training camp and could be a scary complement to TE Rob Gronkowski in two-tight end packages.
| Footballguys view: Chandler is an interesting player to watch, but we're not going to call him a "scary" complement. Keep him on your waiver-wire speed dial as Chandler has good size and soft hands. He can be a threat in the red zone, and Chandler could be involved more than people think. |

Patriots | Scott Chandler impressed Mon Jul 27, 10:20 AM
New England Patriots TE Scott Chandler was one of the stars of the offseason workout program by dominating in the red zone alongside TE Rob Gronkowski.
| Footballguys view: We'll see if Chandler can come in and do the same thing in training camp and the preseason. Keep Chandler on your waiver-wire speed dial if the Patriots look like they'll use him more than most expect. Over the last four years in Buffalo, Chandler has caught 17 touchdown passes. He might be a sneaky red-zone target here and there for Tom Brady this year. |

| Footballguys view: Chandler has some fantasy value so long as Kyle Orton is the quarterback. Pick him up in deeper leagues. |

Bills | Scott Chandler expects to play Wed Aug 6, 04:20 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Scott Chandler (groin) said he expects to be able to play in the second preseason game after missing the first preseason game with a groin injury.
| Footballguys view: Chandler's is the team's top tight end, and he'll get a fair amount of targets if healthy this year. He's been a top-20 fantasy tight end over the last two years, and Chandler should finish around the same spot in 2014. |

Bills | Two injured Sun Jul 27, 05:22 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Scott Chandler (groin) suffered a groin injury Sunday, July 27. WR Kevin Elliott (head) is suffering from concussion-like symptoms.
| Footballguys view: Chandler isn't going to be much of a fantasy factor if healthy. He could crack the top-20 tight ends this year (he was 18th best fantasy TE last year), but he's not a player you want to be relying on--even as a backup. |

Bills | Important season for Scott Chandler Tue Jun 24, 12:17 AM
Buffalo Bills TE Scott Chandler, an unrestricted free agent in 2016, is due to cost $2.85 million against the 2015 salary cap. Buffalo will save the entire amount by releasing him after the upcoming year. Chandler is entering his age-29 season in 2014 and may need to have a stronger than normal year to stick around for the duration of his current contract.
| Footballguys view: Chandler is essentially in a one-year "prove it" deal. He's a decent red-zone target, but his touchdowns have declined from six in 2011, six in 2012 to only two in 2013. Chandler is not much of a fantasy factor. |
Bills | Could use some two TE sets Sun Jun 22, 08:31 PM
The Buffalo Bills could use some two tight end sets this upcoming season with TEs Scott Chandler and Tony Moeaki since Moeaki was impressive with the first-team offense during minicamp. Moeaki likely will need an outstanding training camp if he wants to unseat Chandler for the starting job.
| Footballguys view: Moeaki's talent has never been a question, but he's never been able to stay healthy as a pro. We'll see if he can finally stay healthy and impress on the field this season with the Bills. |

Bills | Scott Chandler struggled at OTAs Mon Jun 16, 02:06 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Scott Chandler (knee) looked uncomfortable during limited time at organized team activities, according to a source. The Bills did not draft a tight end, so Chandler may be their only option at the position.
| Footballguys view: It was a mistake for the Bills to ignore the tight end position in the draft. It wasn't a great draft class at the position, but there were options for the team out there that would've served as upgrades to Chandler. Tony Moeaki is behind Chandler on the depth chart, and he's a talented move tight end. The problem is that Moeaki has rarely been healthy during his pro career. |
