Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 16.9?
The grade is low mainly because his targets lost expected points, even after crediting him for facing easier-than-average defenses. The sample is small, just 20 targets over 3 games, and it swung widely: a rough week 2 at KC, then a much better week 3 against HOU.
Holding it back
- EPA per target was -0.143 expected points per play, 51st of 62 receivers, which pulled the grade down a lot.
- Week 2 at KC: a short left pass intended for him was intercepted by Fulton (-4.7 expected points).
- Week 2 at KC: a deep right pass on 3rd and 4 fell incomplete (-1.8 expected points).
