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.
