How can I involve my main WR more?!!
by jhartshorn @ 12/21/2017 5:12 am
Might seem an obvious thing to some of you but I would like my main WR to have more than 5 throws in his direction.

This game showed some great catch and runs from my new TE who isn't that good, yet the WRs barely got a throw their way. Anything obvious that you think I might be doing wrong???

Shoot, Id love for me TE to get more involved. My #1 is 3rd on my team in yardage. Im thinking better CBs covering him.

you have to use overrides and also make sure your WR is # 1 in the depth chart

also i guess you could put your WR at #1 for TE in the depth chart

then maybe he gets more touches

that is easy

just do what setherick says in this message below

I'm glad you posted this guy because it backs up what I was going to post. If you want to overtly target your TE, you'll need to make sure that you're calling plays where the TE should be the primary receiver. Looking at the first few games, here are the personnel sets and plays were the TE caught a pass:

11 - TE Quick OUt
12 - TE Curl Flat
12 - Ins and Outs
11 - TE Corner
21 - Quick Outs
11 - Skinny Post
11 - Slot Curls
22 - TE Drag
22 - Quick In
22 - TE Post
21 - TE Middle
11 - FL Drag
21 - TE Out

I'll probably use this to create a playbook for leagues where my TE is my best player.

got it from this thread = https://private75.myfootballnow.com/community/3/1752?page=1#10662

Cheers

This is in the beta league so all bets are off right now. Remember we are testing QB decision making, so if your WR1 is getting covered closely, the QB may be switching to the next receiver faster. That said, my offense (which weirdly enough is close to the plays that punisher dug up -- where the **** did you find that?) still gets enough passes to my WR1: https://beta87.myfootballnow.com/player/195

PM me a reminder, but I'll take a look at your team later (I HAVE FREE TIME AGAIN! NO MORE 12-15 HOUR DAYS FOR AT LEAST TWO MORE WEEKS!) and see if anything stands out.

Also, I have a lot more notes on how to build a TE centric offense now, but I haven't seen a need to write them down because it hasn't come up on the boards much anymore.

basically at the bottom of the message i gave the thread where you posted that information in the TE-centric Offense thread that Brrexkl made.

here = https://mfn2.myfootballnow.com/community/3/1752?page=1#10640

only way i found it i went thru the community forums because i remember or recall someone made a post asking how to get their WR more touches and i happened to find that post to help Biddzzbucs with his TE problem

btw still didnt find the post/thread that someone had made about how to get their WR more touches.

though maybe it was just RBS or TES someone had made and never a WR one.

I asked about getting TE and RB as primary targets in certain plays. It hasn’t happened yet to my knowledge.
