What changes in this view

Tight end is the thinnest starting position in fantasy football. A small number of tight ends are used like wide receivers, and everyone after them is a low, flat scorer, which is why drafts either take one early or wait a long time.

This view keeps only tight ends and re-numbers them 1 upward in PPR scoring, where a catch is worth a point and receiving tight ends separate from blocking ones most clearly.
