TEs finally involved in my passing game

finally got a gameplan set that uses my TEs and now i'm scared to mess with it, lol

https://mfn68.myfootballnow.com/box/view/134

had a great game with the pass :)
QB - Scott McClure 22 completions(13 to TEs) 31 attempts 356 yards 3 TDs 1 Int

top 3 receivers
TE - David Weatherwax 8 receptions 98 yards
WR - Matthew Smith 3 receptions 95 yards
TE - David Sullivan 5 receptions 74 yards

would've had TEs at 1 and 2 but with literally 6 seconds to go in the game at the start of the play Matthew Smith caught a pass and ran it for a 71 yard TD

Very nice. I need to review what you're doing. I've been doing different things to get a good balance of TEs, RBs, and WRs on short passing.

Can you give a basic review of how your getting more TE touches?

If you review his play selection, he's using plays where the TE is the primary receiver almost exclusively. It's a good strategy when you have two 95+ TEs. I had to use a more balanced approach in most of my leagues. (Curse you 13, you terrible offensive disaster.)

So plays were the TE is listed as the first to run a pass pattern?

And where the TE route matches the play distance.

Thanks! I'll try this.
I've been struggling to get it to the TE in my system.

Prepare to struggle with the new plays for up to a full season as your team learns them.
