While there are some teams who find ways to be effective without a good receiving TE (requiring dominant performance by 2-3 WRs), most good offense teams do have one.

The TEs on the teams that are 4-2 or better:
Eagles - Goedert
49ers - Kittle
Dolphins - Smythe
Chiefs - Kelce
Ravens - Andrews
Jags - Engram
Lions - LaPorta
Cowboys - Ferguson
Bills - Knox/Kincaid

2/3rds of those teams have TEs getting good production.

Eh, define good production. kittle has two games over 30 yards, and one game with more than 3 catches. He has two games with one catch. He did have one monster game, where all 3 catches went for TDs.

2/3rds of those teams have top 10 defenses

2/3rds of those teams have good QBs

2/3rds of those teams have great coaching staffs

I don’t think tight end is the sole reason, let alone biggest, that those teams are 4-2.

The only team listed above, that isn’t in the top 12 in rushing yards per game is Jacksonville. I’d say this is the biggest reason those teams are 4-2, or better.
