Dynasty Archetypes: Tight End

Kevin White

As a dynasty manager, imagine having the ability to accurately predict the future performance of a dynasty asset, based on the past…

In this four-part series I’ll be exploring Dynasty Archetypes: a method of predicting future player fantasy production, based upon grouping players with similar traits, usage and output. By understanding a player projection or expected journey based upon the results of similar player types, it is easier to calculate the range of outcomes of the asset and facilitate the optimal team build.

In the previous article, I outlined the different archetypes at wide receiver, with the final positional review outlining tight end - a traditionally high-risk and shallow position, a diverse and fluid landscape with significant injury risk. The tight end archetypes used in this article are simple, with the key driver focusing on the percentage of offensive snaps taken from the slot position within the offense (slot rate). The parameters for the tight end archetypes are: 0-20% for ‘in-line’, 20-40% for ‘balanced’ and 40%+ for ‘slot’ tight end archetype.
