How this is measured

Fantasy points are nflverse's standard and full-PPR scoring (6 points for a rushing or receiving touchdown, 4 for a passing touchdown, minus 2 for an interception or a lost fumble); half PPR is the average of the two. Ranks are points a game among players at his position with at least half the most games played. Most weeks is his 20th to 80th percentile game. Bars are green on a boom week and red on a bust; the dashed line is the starter line, the points a game of the TE12 in a 12-team league. The format you pick is remembered on this device.

Playstylehow he is used, against the league at his positionamong 72 tight ends

He lives outside the numbers: only 20% of his targets come over the middle (league 25%). He is a straight-dropback target: 20% of his targets come off play action (league 32%). His share of the team's targets is 18%: on third down it holds at 20%; inside the 20 it holds at 15%. He wins before the catch rather than after it: 41% of his yards come after the catch (league 50%).

How this is measured

Every trait is a share of his own targets, so volume does not move it. The marker is him among the league's qualifying tight ends; the dashed line is the median. Styles are not grades: a high or low percentile is a description, not a verdict. Play action, screen, RPO, motion and blitz flags come from FTN charting and read low in a week it has not published.
