Hmm, looking at our TE situation. Without revealing a ton of junk about the gameplan, I had expected to see my top two TEs more or less split the targets this year. I had Doss in as the FB in most of the formations where we had one (have zero on the roster), but also used him in the 1-2-2 and 1-3-1 personnel as the Y. Pearson, the $12m/yr new guy, was supposed to be the nominal starter, and I thought he'd probably get around 80 targets, and Doss maybe 50-60.
Turns out:
Pearson (55/55, GD 40, RR 49, BP 54)
452 pass plays, 56 targets, 68% comp, 9.8 ypc, 6.6 ypt, 107 yac
Doss (48/48, GD 79, RR 50, BP 47)
414 pass plays, 83 targets, 80% comp, 9.8 ypc, 7.9 ypt, 405 yac
Hmmm... I initially found it hard to believe that Doss was actually picking up a lot of FB targets and making that much hay out of them, but I'm leaning toward that theory. The impressive YAC seems to seal the deal for me (and his GD rating backs it up). Might be onto something there... if half of that production came from the FB slot, that's way above replacement, right?
