Tight ends vs the defense

What each defense on the field this week has allowed a game to tight ends, the toughest and softest first. Vs their avg is the schedule-adjusted read: what the defense allowed each game minus that offense's own average against everyone else, so a defense that met heavy producers is not marked soft for it. What a defense has allowed is history. Across the whole league it has said little about the next game; at the two ends it has said more, and each block below gives that record.

Yards and targets allowed are from each defense's final games this season. Every rank is over usual: what the defense allowed each game against that offense's own average in its other games, 1st the biggest margin, over each row's games. Shares are of the team's carries or targets over the player's last four games. Data from nflverse (CC BY 4.0). The definitions and the record are on How we count.
