2005 TE Targets and RZ Use
RotoAction Key Fantasy Stats |
|
Everyone knows who produced fantasy points and who didn't. We're looking here for foundational stats that enable us to better assess whether bottom-line production was properly supported. If not, we revise 2006 rankings upward or downward depending on the stength or weakness of the supporting statistic.
Here, we give you everything you need to know when choosing a fantasy tight end. Where is the hidden value? Who is overhyped relative to critical usage? Looking at the list below, it's clear you want a Titans tight end. And who would have guess that the most frequently targeted TD in the red zone last year was Miami's Randy McMichael? RZ stands for "red zone" and TPG and RZPPG stand for "targets per game" and "red zone plays per game," respectively.
