Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 1.0?
Gainwell's plays have cost his team expected points and win probability, and both rank near the bottom among running backs. With only 20 touches over 2 games, a few bad plays swing the grade a lot. His success rate on carries was neutral.
Holding it back
- EPA per touch of -0.393 expected points per play ranks 51st of 51, even after credit for tough defenses.
- Win probability added of -2.15 points per touch also ranks 51st of 51.
- Week 3 vs MIN: a fourth-and-13 pass intended for him was intercepted (-2.1 expected points), and a carry up the middle lost 6 yards (-1.3).
