STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Kelce's 40% advance rate shows tight ends don't move needle like RBs/WRs.

Burroughs notes that even Travis Kelce in his best years had only about 40% advance rate in best ball, whereas running backs and wide receivers can get 50-60% advance rates; this illustrates why tight ends don't move the needle as much as other positions and why Burroughs focuses on being different at the position rather than chasing the top tight end.
