Also, I added an explanation in the comments section of the Tackle Opportunitites piece so you might want to check that out too.

Ray,
The reason that Mayo is a 5-Star play in the Star Ratings and only a tier 3 here is because each piece is done by a different person. I do the Star Ratings and my POV isn't always going to match Darin's POV. Much like there are differences between DMDs stuff and Tuvey's.

Why is Mayo tier 3 if he's listed as a 5-star play with green/better than avg tackle opportunities this week?
