GUESS RATINGS FORMULAS - tweaking WR's / TE's Topic

Current Ratings for both positions.

ATH too high? TECH too low? STR useful at all (for non-blockers) ?

I am hopeful to get a bit of an education in this thread. Personally, I use ELU, HND andSPD to determine WR for all positions. I have noticed no difference between Deep and Possession WR (using Guess ratings) for production for my "Medium" passing game. In particular, I do not see benefits in GI/Tech/STR in any meaningful way.

I know there are a ton of factors in completion % and YAC that make the stats hard to parse (at least for me) which probably influence my decision to simplify the WR evaluation.

I review STA/WE/ATH as well, but I do that for all potential recruits.

In summary, I reduce GI to 10, Tech to 5 and remove STR entirely. I spread the remaining numbers to SPD, ELU and HNDS to make them have equal weight. I am sure more experienced coaches will give better opinions.

I am a big believer in GI in this game. For instance, I look at the overall team ratings under the Standings tab and click on GI. All four national champions from a year ago in Hayes are in the top four for team GI. And in Leahy, all but the defending Div III national champion rank in the top three for GI. I would not reduce GI. I believe it's more important than you think.

I might be crazy - but I like to have WR that are rated like blocking TE's for running plays if I have one or two on the roster.

I am sold on ELU for receivers and receiving te's. I would rate it a full 50% more important than the #2 or #3 attributes.

Makes sense. If they can get open, they are more likely to have success.

This for the win.

Any more comments?

Looks pretty good to me. I usually look at RB's, WR's and TE's the same way with a lessening of importance on strength for the WR's.
Ath, Spd, Elu, GI and Hands.

TE is the toughest position for me, because the attribute you value are completely different depending on the role - more so than any other position, IMO.
