Kelce, Kittle, Ertz, Gronk, there just is no denying the impact of TE’s in the modern NFL.
Oh, okay. So you're saying a big NAME TE is more important to a SB win than how that TE actually performed. Got it, Fred. The Bengals will just have to work on getting Shannon Sharpe out of retirement.
Also yes, catch rates are an important stat to include. Not for this thread in particular necessarily, but in general when talking about pass catchers. If you are only catching 50% of your targets, 500 yards isn't as good as 500 yards while catching 60% of your targets. It's why Michael Thomas, even though he didn't have a high yards per catch (career 11.7), he was catching over 80% of his targets the previous two years. That's absurdly high.
