Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 77.1?
Johnson's grade is driven mainly by strong per-target production, ranking 9th of 35 tight ends in adjusted expected points per target. That was boosted by a huge week 2 game at Baltimore, including a 25-yard catch on 3rd and 13 and another 25-yarder that drew a roughing the passer penalty. Through only 3 games and 19 targets, this is a small sample.
Lifting the grade
- Adjusted EPA per target ranks 9th of 35 TEs, the main driver of the grade.
- Week 2 vs BAL: 25-yard catch on 3rd and 13 for +3.5 expected points.
- Week 2 vs BAL: another 25-yard gain plus a roughing the passer penalty for +3.4 expected points.
Holding it back
- Week 3 vs LV: caught a short pass but fumbled, costing -3.7 expected points.
- Week 1 vs DET: two incomplete third-down targets each cost expected points.
