Today we’re talking about the ratings for Tight Ends. I’ll explain them individually. Catching is the TE’s ability to catch the ball. A high rating enables the player to catch a lot of passes and make the tough receptions. Deep Threat is the TE’s ability to get downfield. A high Deep Threat is a reflection of his ability to make the big play, either by catching the ball downfield or on yards after the catch. Blocking is how well the player blocks and is very important for a TE on running teams. Fumble Prevention is the player’s ability to hold onto the ball. The higher the rating, the lower the chance of a fumble.
Hope this helps you make good choices for TEs for your team – especially tailoring it to fit your overall scheme. Come back next Monday for another SportSims Strategy Tip.
