How to target a TE

If a team has a dominant TE, how do I go about making him the primary threat in certain situations?

The pass targets are sorted by priority based on the depth chart (WR#1, WR#2, TE, RB, WR#3) as well as the depth of the passing routes (if it is a "short pass" play and WR#1 runs a deep pattern, he will have a lower priority than the shallow routes). So you might see if you can find some short passes where the WR's are running deeper routes and the TE running shallow routes in your playbook.

There's not really a way to be more specific than that, although I would love to develop more rich gameplanning options like that - which would of course have to be countered with defensive strategies to stop it.

Thanks

I've wondered this myself.
