My TE is a drop machine this season. Looking at the PBP most of these are the ball being knocked loose by overzealous SSs and LBs.

What should I be working on to fix this problem.

I'd imagine you are a Speed / Agi / Catching spec TE, my best guess would be to work on Str / Carrying more if it is an issue of fumbling after the catch. Otherwise you may need more catching / sticky hands SA to hold on to the ball when you get hit as you catch it.

I hear you, I got lit up twice last game. I'm looking for more carrying, and possibly going into YAC attack with the VA's...might be a bit overzealous.

More carrying and confidence, the same things my player is training.

Ditto.

I had one knocked loose, my strength is 56, carrying is 40.

I had YAC attack for several games. Nothing.

I have 61 strength 50 carrying 40 confidence and still had the fucked jarred out of me in my first game this season... more drops in a game than I've ever had in a SEASON until now. Points in Mr Reliable and Possession Receiver as well!

That's troubling news then. I was hoping my drops after a catch would be reduced once I got my carrying and confidence up.

YAC attack is not going to work against linebackers and safeties when you have 56 strength

I have been having the same problem with 5 drops already, which is the same amount as the last 2 seasons combined. And it reall doesn't help when your TE makes a drop like this

I still think your confidence needs to be at least at the first cap.

This has got to be a confidence issue - Once you have 1 drop pass it really seems to spiral out of control after that.

Does "Sure Hands" allow you to re-roll when passes are knocked loose?

That was his first drop in that game, then he had two other that were hit out of his hands. A WR on my team has companed of the same problem as well, which makes this situation much more confusing for me because I have 20 more strength than he does, but he has 20 more carrying than I do, and both players have the same catching.
