Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 96.0?
Lamb's targets have produced far more expected points than the average receiver's, and they have succeeded at a high rate. His grade climbed each week, from 69.4 to 97.2. The sample is small, just 26 targets over 3 games.
Lifting the grade
- EPA per target of +1.069 expected points ranks 3rd of 62 WRs, which lifted the grade a lot.
- Success rate on targets (plays that gain enough to help the offense) is 73%, 5th of 62.
- Week 3 vs BAL, Q4 2nd and 9: a 49-yard catch on a deep left pass, worth +3.7 expected points.
