What Are Move TE Snaps?
Move TE Snaps -- also called flex TE snaps -- track the total number of snaps where a tight end lines up detached from the line of scrimmage, in the slot, split out wide, or in the backfield, rather than attached in-line next to the tackle. This NFL advanced stat is a core part of NFL player stats for identifying tight ends used more like a big slot receiver than a traditional blocker. In NFL team stats, Move TE Snaps can show which offenses lean on flexed tight ends to create mismatches against linebackers and safeties.
