Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 66.1?
Kupp's grade is driven mainly by strong value per target, ranking 27th of 89 receivers in adjusted expected points added on his throws. That was through just 10 targets across two games, so a handful of plays swing the number a lot. Everything else about his season graded as roughly average.
Lifting the grade
- Adjusted EPA per target of +0.524 ranked 27th of 89, including a 24-yard gain in week 1 vs NE and a 16-yard catch plus a touchdown in week 3 at WAS.
Holding it back
- Nothing pulled the grade down, though he had incompletions on third downs in week 1 vs NE and twice in week 3 at WAS.
