Hey guys I need a little Data Farming Help. In my circumstantial evidence collected I'm seeing a LOT more TE catches vs targets than WR's are getting. Would you guys mind pulling up some of your old matches and posting the ratios you have here for those games? Targets being the number of times he was thrown to. This isn't the kind of things that the admins are going to hand out, but I think that TE coverage is harder to maintain than WR coverage. The community can help figure this one out

i.e.

Timmy Ashbaugh TE 10 targets 4 catches vs NY powerhouse
Nathaniel Hageman WR 4 Targets 0 Catches vs NY Powerhouse

Don't have numbers but off the top of my head it seems that my TE's are getting 70% of the looks than the wr's, granted there are alot off plays that state "Under pressure incomplete pass" with no intended reciever mentioned.
My guess is that the TE is getting more looks as the safety valve reciever because of o-line pass protection weakness this stage of the game. Hopefully when the o-lines get their blocking attributes higher it will give the QB more time in the pocket to find the WR.
An example of the attributes getting better would be with my runningbacks, they are not breaking as many long runs as they did in the early stages of the game. I'm getting more short yardage carries due to the defense getting better in the tackle attribute.IMO

That's my goal to get a large enough sampling of numbers to start looking at trends.

regardless of stats per position just looking at the raw numbers for players playing at position X vs players playing at position Y.

From todays friendly:
TE 7 targets 4 receptions, 2 TDs
WR 8 targets, 3 receptions, 2 TDs

From yesterdays game:
TE 13 targets 4 receptions, 2 TDs
WR 18 targets 4 receptions, 2 TDs

Season (league games only) stats:
TE 31 receptions, 1163 yards, 14 TDs
WR 24 receptions, 786 yards, 9 TDs

So when it comes to targeting players, it seems pretty balanced, but you seem to be right Mercutioh, TEs have more receptions in general than WRs

I'd think you'd need to collect the number of WRs and TEs that the team had. For example, the distribution might be a lot different with 3 WRs & 1 TE versus 2 WRs & 2 TEs etc.

That's truth. I think it should be fixed. My sucking TE had 8 catches for 308 yards on my last friendly game, while my superstar WR had only 1 catch.

It was like TE was catching everything despite of lack of catching 5. And superstar(16 speed, 8 catching, lots of 7s and 6s) was dropping every ball possible.

That's really stupid.

Sounds like your TE is the superstar
It could be due to his (WRs) low consistency

Also keep in mind that it's necessarily all drops. Could be great coverage from the defense. Until they tell us information about tackles by the secondary and pass breakups, we don't know.
