Tight End Rankings: Week 4 - Blake Bortles - 06-18-2017

Welcome to the NSFL weekly tight end rankings. Today I'll be reviewing and ranking tight end performances from week 4. Keep in mind that the only factor taken into account is the quality of play for that week. With that in mind, let's dive into the rankings!

#1 Ricky Maddox, Yellowknife Wraiths

@SimmerDownBruhh
Until this point, Ricky Maddox has been a consistently highly rated amongst tight ends, but he hasn't broken out per say. Maddox broke out in week 4. Maddox had the most catches and yards amongst tight ends and had the 3rd most pancake blocks. In addition to that Maddox only had one drop, and aside from that he caught every pass he got his hands on. This physical freak can do it all, and he did it all in week 4.

#2 George Wright Jr., Orange County Otters

In terms of receiving this was a poor week for tight ends, with Maddox beating out the rest significantly. In terms of blocking, however, the NSFL tight ends did better than ever before. And amongst the NSFL Tight Ends, nobody blocks better than George Wright Jr. Wright was tied for the most pancake blocks among tight ends in week 4, and has been leading tight ends in that regard all year. In addition to that, Wright managed to catch a crucial game-ending first down to help run off all the clock. Wright is a great asset for the Otters.

#3 Rolf Larsendorf, Yellowknife Wraiths

@HazardouSpork
All jokes aside, the Tight Ends Coach for the Wraiths must be some kind of god, looking at all the production he's getting out of the two-tight end set. Rolf Larsendorf might not be the premier tight end on his team, but he is crucial to their success. He blocks like a champ and catches passes when they ask him to. Unfortunately, Larsendorf's 12-catches without a drop streak ended in week 4, when he dropped a pass early on in the game. 12-catches straight is something impressive, seeing as most wide receivers have worse mitts then than.

#4 Gabriel Tenzini, Baltimore Hawks

@princekyle
Tenzini has been solid since the regular season started. I keep saying that, but that really is what's so great about Gabriel Tenzini. His ceiling is not super high, but his floor is pretty high too. What's not as obvious about him is how well he's developing as a red-zone threat. He's caught a touchdown pass in two straight weeks now, and I'm sure he's planning to add on to that streak. He's also developing well as a blocker, as he managed to pancake defenders twice in week 4.

#5 Break Bottles, San Jose SaberCats

@Blake Bortles
Break Bottles got covered very effectively in week 4, and was practically shut down. 4 passes thrown his way were deflected and one of them was picked off. As a result, Bottles did not have much to show in terms of receiving in week 4. He had a solid game blocking, however, and managed to pile up two pancakes.

#6 Mark Hargrove, Colorado Yeti

@Viktor1980
Mark Hargrove disappeared in weeks 2 and 3 after a very strong week 1. I was starting to wonder if he would show up again. Spoiler alert: he did. In week 4, Hargrove caught two passes for 11 yards and had two pancake blocks to his name. Not quite the production he had in week 1, but he showed that he can be a solid blocker as well as a receiver.

Honorable Mention: Joseph Tkachuk (Arizona Outlaws, @Theo667) Feels weird not to rank someone who just had a large impact, so I'll have him here. Tkachuk proved he can start and make an impact in previous weeks, but it appears he didn't in week 4.

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed.

Any suggestions so I can improve this series? Thanks.

But have you taken into consideration that I'm trash?

I think you used the Bottles graphic for both SJS TEs

You had to wait until week 4 to mention this?

Wright has more pancakes and fewer sacks than some high-ranked offensive linemen

I mentioned it earlier, just phrased differently. I had him ranked #1 in week 2.

Tight End Rankings: Week 4 - Player1 - 06-19-2017

Another great article, I had a couple down weeks for receiving but as always you get on the stat sheet however you can and if you win it doesn't matter how you got there. I look forward to these, I'm sure Bottles with bounce back I think he's the best pure-receiver but everyone has games where they just can't break their coverage.

This is definitely one of my favorite articles to read each week. Great job!

Also, you grade yourself pretty hard, but fairly which is nice.
