Other BTA Rankings: Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End
Better Than Average (BTA) was developed to show how players truly rank between themselves by looking at every game from 2010 and for each defense and determining three things:
"8" - Which players scored in the top 8 game performances for fantasy points allowed by a defense. Basically, which players had an above average performance (top 8 in a 16 game season) that a defense gave up.
"4" - Which players scored in the top 4 game performances for fantasy points allowed by a defense.
"1" - Who had the most fantasy points scored in a game against each defense last season. There could only by 32 such events for tight ends since each defense can only allow one "best game".
BTA - Simply adding up the 1, 4 and 8 values to arrive at a numerical expression of how effective a tight end truly was last year against all other players in his position. The ease or strength of schedule doesn't matter. Only what a player did against all other players in that position against that defense.

Jason Witten and Antonio Gates both dominated this measurement last year while several old stalwarts disappointed - Tony Gonzalez, Brent Celek and Chris Cooley to name a few. While there are plentiful good tight ends now, there are still but a few truly great fantasy tight ends.
This shows up more since all NFL teams do not use tight ends the same if at all. Any tight end who can turn in at least half of their games in the "8" category is a definite advantage.
