93: elite creator

One number for how well Schultz has actually played lately, not a talent rating. 70% is the skill profile, weighted towards efficiency; the rest is how steady his games are and whether he still produces against the better defences. Ranked against every qualified tight end; 99 is the best. Over the last three seasons he scores 85 (#16 of 62).

The read
  1. Indianapolis rank 21st against deep balls, and 7% of Schultz's targets travel 20+ yards (the average TE is at 6%).
  2. Work the left side: 35% of his targets go that way and Indianapolis rank 27th defending throws there.
  3. Free data doesn't show who covers whom on each snap, so this is the defence's profile, not a confirmed one-on-one.
