I have a lvl 31 (almost 32) receiving TE who barely gets any receptions. I know it's his build because I run 3 teams offenses, and 2 of the other teams really get their TE involved, but mine will almost NEVER get receptions. There is also an almost purely blocking TE on our team who even gets more receptions than mine, and he's build to block. My TE (Leon Gallas) averages around 1 rec a game for like 8 yds.

So my question is what can I do to this build to get him to produce more?

[edited out]

All of my equipment is on speed as of now, but I can also switch that around easily. Both TEs on the other teams I run have almost identical builds, but they are like 3 times better than mine. I'm starting to think he's just unlucky...I've tried a combination of so many different attributes, and I've switched his equipment around so much. I'm just out of ideas for now.

Receptions are at best, random.
The only thing you could do is ask OC to up the TE passing %, and have your QB set you as a favorite.

I am the OC

Like I said, I run 3 teams' offenses with pretty much the same scheme on all of them. I mean almost exact. On the Aces, the starting TE is averaging about 25 yds/game, and the backup has similar numbers. On the LUEzards, the starting TE is averaging 50 yds/game.

I've tried favoring him before to no avail, but I guess I'll try it again.

Unless he's been dropping all his passes, all I can say is bad luck. =/

it also depends on the oppositions defense plan your TE mightn't be open enough, because your stats look fine to me, close to bannana boo's and he use to get a heap until traded

Have you tried setting your TE has the QB's primary target (or favourite target or whatever it's called)?

My TE is level 13 and the blocking TE is level 14 and I'm having the same problem that you are.

What I've noticed is that my TE will get to the LB quickly so he's covered when the QB throws the ball, while the blocking TE slowly runs out and is usually open. Perhaps removing your speed equipment for a game or 2 will help?
