PFF Tight End Rankings

[JoeKnows]

 

All 3 of our TE's are in the top 19 that is insane! This group has me real excited for the future our offense will be real dangerous with one more stud receiver.

[Daft Classic]

lol @ all three still being better than Owen Daniels 

 

But is this based off of each's limited playing time? I know they split snaps and Gillmore especially was hit hard by injuries, but it blows my mind that Boyle alone is ahead of Barnidge, Miller, Kelce, and Watson

I'm assuming you have to play a certain amount of snaps to be eligible for this list.

That's amazing. Sky's the limit for these 3 young studs.

Also wondering why the list has Gillmore listed as "active" status and not on IR...

Don't know why either but these rankings were just posted 4 hours ago on PFF's twitter.

And hence why you have to take pff with a grain of salt.

I don't know what these rankings are based off of but they are a little suspect to me, imo.

 

For Example: Travis Kelce - 72 rec 875 yards and 5 TD's compared to Maxx Williams - 32 rec 268 yards 1 TD. Yet Maxx is rated 3 spots ahead of Kelce. 

 

Again, Nick Boyle - 18 rec 153 yards 0 TD's compared to Gary Barnidge - 79 rec 1,043 yard 9 TD's yet Boyle is 4 spots ahead of Barnidge. 

 

Take it for what it's worth but the list doesn't make much sense to me. Don't get me wrong, our TE's are beasts and have bright futures but the stats are what they are.

They are taking the blocking grades into account where all of our TEs do well.

I sure hope they look for more than receiving stats with TE's. Especially if they want to be taken even a little bit seriously Edited January 16, 2016 by ludy51

Travis kelce is awful at blocking

If a handful of FF geeks in the UK that never played or coached football say so it must be true.

They factor in more than just receiving.  I don't follow the site too deeply but from what I've gathered, blocking is a big part of a TEs grade.  also, they rate pass catchers on their routes run.  Meaning if they gained some sort of separation they likely earn a higher grade that play than if they don't separate, even if the QB doesn't throw the ball their way.  Lastly, tough catches and the ability to not go down after the first hit rates higher also, something Gillmore excelled at.

 

Take their rankings however you please though.  I've noticed people greatly agree with some and greatly disagree with others

TE are asked to do a lot more than just catch the ball. Kelce and Barnidge were horrible run blockers which brings their overall down. Gilmore, Boyle, and Williams were about average as a pass catcher, pass blocker, and run blocker. This brings their overall up.

[ALPHA]

They also take into account penalties conceded, run blocking, yards after contact, first downs, stuff like that. 

[HomeoftheBRAVENS]

Crockett's spot doesn't surprise me one bit.Having Williams and Boyle over some of the other bigger names is a red flag to me though no matter how well they blocked.I didn't watch many Philly games last year,but Kelce's blocking would have to be god awful for me to place him 9 spots behind Boyle.

[Cville-Raven]

Travis kelce is awful at blocking

His hands are very questionable as well. His stats are a bit inflated in the offense he plays in.

Kelce plays for the Cheifs.

Kelce plays for the Cheifs. 

 

Oh,for some reason I was thinking about Zach Ertz when I wrote that.I don't think Kelce is as good as Ertz,but the same feeling applies to Kelce to a lesser degree.Ertz is a beast that's why that stuck out to me so much.

[gtalk12]

I think it's going to fair to expect a big boost in our offense, and I expect it from Gilmore and Maxx

Agreed
