Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 85.0?
Swift's high grade comes mostly from strong per-touch value: his adjusted EPA per touch ranks 6th among 61 qualifying backs, and he did it against tougher-than-average defenses. Big plays like his 28-yard touchdown run against Carolina and a 32-yard catch-and-run against Minnesota stand out.
Lifting the grade
- EPA per touch of +0.107 ranks 6th of 61 backs, lifting the grade a lot
- 28-yard touchdown run in Week 1 vs Carolina (+4.5 expected points)
- 32-yard catch vs Minnesota in Week 2 (+3.1 expected points)
Holding it back
- Lost a fumble at the goal line vs Minnesota in Week 3 (-5.5 expected points)
- Stopped for -2 yards vs Philadelphia in Week 3 (-1.4 expected points)
