Tight ends vs the defense

Week 4, 2026 2026 through week 3

What each defense on the field this week has allowed a game to tight ends, the 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, and our own check found it tracks the next game only faintly: read it as the matchup a player walks into, not as what he will do in it.
