Impact Most of Athan Kaliakmanis' passes went to Ian Strong, but he still saw six targets in the defeat.

Impact Sheffield's commitment to Rutgers indicates he will sit out the 2025 First Responder Bowl scheduled between North Texas and Texas State on Jan. 3. Rutgers is a Power Conference team whose 2024 squad's best player was Dymere Miller, who will be out of collegiate eligibility by the time Sheffield enrolls there.

It capped off a very productive regular season for him where he caught 66 passes (on 93 targets) for 822 yards and 11 touchdowns, adding 86 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

Impact Sheffield had yet another quiet outing Saturday as he gained just 41 yards and lost a fumble. After a great run of games with Damon Ward out, Sheffield has been very quiet in his last three outings as he has just 11 catches for 85 yards during that stretch. He will look to bounce back Saturday at Temple in the regular season finale.

NOVEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

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.

Scores again Saturday Sheffield had two receptions (on three targets) for 60 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 52-20 victory versus Tulsa.

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.
