Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 92.7?
His grade is driven by how much expected points he produced per target, even after the credit for facing tougher-than-average defenses. The sample is small, just 21 targets over 3 games, so it could shift quickly. Nothing held the grade back.
Lifting the grade
- EPA per target of +0.986 expected points per play, 5th of 62 WRs, and this lifted the grade a lot.
- Week 3 vs PHI: a 41-yard touchdown from Keenum on 1st and 10, worth +3.4 expected points.
- Week 2 vs MIN: an 8-yard catch from Williams on 3rd and 8, worth +2.5 expected points.
