Shut down Friday Sheffield reeled in all three targets for 13 yards during Friday's 48-27 loss against Texas-San Antonio.

Impact Sheffield was kept at bay in Friday's loss as he put up one of his worst performances of the season. He was targeted just three times, tied for his second fewest this season, and gained just 13 yards, his fewest since he was shut out in Week 3. Chandler Morris had an off day, but it was still concerning that Sheffield had a quiet day in his second straight outing. He will look to bounce back Saturday versus East Carolina.

Shut down Saturday Sheffield posted four receptions (on six targets) for 31 yards during Saturday's 14-3 defeat to Army.

Impact Sheffield, like everyone else on the Eagles' offense, struggled to get going in Saturday's loss. It was a very difficult matchup versus the elite Black Knights' defense, but two of his teammates still out-gained him. He also saw just six targets, a massive downgrade after averaging 13 across his previous three games. He will look to bounce back Friday at UTSA.

Excellent versus Tulane Sheffield hauled in 9 of 12 targets for 125 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-37 defeat against Tulane.

Impact Sheffield had another dominant performance Saturday as he accumulated over 120 receiving yards and 10 targets for the third straight game. He also caught his 10th touchdown of the season and has now scored at least once in each of his last five games. His connection with Chandler Morris has been excellent and with how much Morris is throwing the ball, Sheffield will at the very least continue to see high volume throughout the rest of the season.

Electric versus Memphis Sheffield accrued eight receptions (on 13 targets) for 122 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 52-44 loss against Memphis.

Impact Sheffield scored three touchdowns Saturday, including two 75-yard touchdowns -- one rushing and one receiving -- in the first quarter. He also caught a nine-yard touchdown in the third quarter. He tied a season high with 13 targets and went for over 120 yards in his second straight outing. Sheffield has been nothing short of excellent this season and there's no reason to believe that will stop any time soon.

Dominant in comeback win Sheffield hauled in 11 of 13 targets for 126 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 41-37 victory versus Florida Atlantic.

Impact Sheffield caught a pair of touchdowns Saturday, both of which came in the last three minutes and turned a 10-point deficit into a four-point win. He now has seven receiving touchdowns this season which is tied for the fourth-most in the country. He also set season-highs in receptions, targets and yards, proving that he is not just a red zone threat. His usage in the Eagles' high-flying passing attack gives him an extremely high ceiling for the rest of the campaign.

Impact Sheffield caught his fifth touchdown of the season Saturday, a 27-yard reception in the third quarter. He only saw three targets, his second fewest this season, but he was able to salvage a productive day on just two catches. He is generally Chandler Morris' go-to target -- he has received nine or more targets in three games this season -- and he will likely see more volume on a game-to-game basis than he did in Saturday's blowout win.

Bounces back versus Wyoming Sheffield hauled in 8 of 9 targets for 109 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 44-17 win over Wyoming.

Impact After being completely shut out last week at Texas Tech, Sheffield bounced back with a season-high 109 yards. He also scored a 29-yard touchdown in the first quarter, his fourth score of the season. Last week's dud can officially be considering an anomoly, as Sheffield has proven in the three other weeks that he is Chandler Morris' favorite target. With the Mean Green's passing attack being so strong, Sheffield will continue to put up big numbers in the receiving game.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Shut out Saturday Sheffield posted zero targets during Saturday's 66-21 loss to Texas Tech.

Impact Just seven days after catching three touchdowns versus SF Austin, Sheffield did not even receive a target in Saturday's blowout loss. He had double-digit targets in each of the first two games, so it was truly bizarre for him to be completely shut out. He will look to bounce back this Saturday versus Wyoming.

Impact Sheffield put up a solid performance to start his 2024 campaign, ranking second on the team in receptions, targets and receiving yards. While Damon Ward stole the show, Sheffield stepped up with Landon Sides (undisclosed) out. Depending on how long Sides is out, Sheffield is a solid option in a high-volume passing game on a team with a bad defense.
