How To Read Fantasy Points Allowed To Tight End Page

Before diving into the different stats on this Fantasy Football Points Allowed to Tight Ends page, you'll want to make sure you've got the correct scoring format and fantasy site chosen. If you want to see DraftKings points allowed, for example, that's fully available. The rankings and numbers featured throughout this page will change as you toggle the different scoring formats. You can adjust the weekly slider to see scoring across a few different weeks.

Each team is also assigned a defensive rating from the unique Lineups formula. This is not a pass defense rating, but an overall rating for a team's defense. The higher the rating, the more talented the defense, so you'll want to look for players facing lower-rated teams. The red zone stats are important for tight ends, as they show how productive the position is within the 20 yard line.

This page shows which defenses are facing the most volume and allowing the most targets to opposing tight ends. Plus, you can check out basic stats such as receptions, yards, and touchdowns. Keep in mind that 100+ yard games can be a bonus in some scoring formats . Rushing stats aren't that common with tight ends, but any rushing numbers will still be reflected on this page.

What Factors Into A Defense Allowing More fantasy Points To Tight Ends

Some defenses are just simply not equipped to defend opposing tight ends. Teams with slower linebackers might instead use defensive backs to guard a tight end. Or if the defensive backs are undersized, the focus will be on the linebackers to cover tight ends. Sometimes, a defense might have excellent corners and a secondary that funnels everything down to tight ends. We have seen this with a few teams, where because of the skill of the secondary, the best matchup for an offense is with the tight end.

The tight end stats that really make a difference are receptions and touchdowns. In PPR leagues, receptions generate more fantasy points against an opposing defense. In standard leagues, touchdowns are going to be worth more points.

What Factors Into A Defense Allowing Fewer Fantasy Points To Tight Ends

Some defenses are excellent when it comes to stopping tight ends. Some defenses simply draw up great schemes and double teams to slow down opposing tight ends. One thing top-ranked defenses have in common is the ability to limit receptions and touchdowns.

Using fantasy Points Allowed To Stream Tight Ends

Streaming tight ends is a term for picking up new starting players based on matchup and production instead of having one consistent starter.

This fantasy points allowed page can be helpful when it comes to streaming tight ends. Streaming a strong red zone tight end against a defense that allows more red zone fantasy points should be beneficial to your fantasy football team.
