ADVICE

Use Personnel Clues To Set Start/Sit

  • If an offense shows two big tight ends, expect defenses to avoid nickel and accept size disadvantages in the box.
  • Start tight ends who create that personnel stress because they often open both run seams and favorable passing looks.
INSIGHT

Six Linemen Signal Tight End Market Shift

  • Teams increasingly substitute a sixth offensive lineman when they lack tight ends who both block and catch.
  • The NFL now values hybrid tight ends who can reliably inline block and still be a receiving threat over pure extremes.
ADVICE

Prioritize Inline Blocking For TEs

  • Avoid rostering 'tweener' tight ends long-term if they can't both block inline and contribute in the passing game.
  • Target prospects who show the inline blocking competence plus route skill (e.g., AJ Barner, Mason Taylor).
