Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 49.2?
Williams sits right around the middle of the pack at 32nd of 62 receivers. Nothing in his numbers pushed the grade clearly up or down, and his target share, expected points, success rate and win probability added all landed near average. The sample is small, just 17 targets in 3 games.
Lifting the grade
- Some big plays stood out: a 22-yard catch in overtime of week 1 vs NO (+2.3 expected points) and a 21-yard catch in week 3 vs NYJ (+1.9).
- His 10-yard catch on 3rd and 8 in week 1 vs NO added +2.4 expected points.
Holding it back
- Week 1 vs NO had his costliest plays, including an incomplete pass on 3rd and 5 in Q3 (-1.7 expected points).
- Another week 1 incompletion, deep right on 2nd and 15 in Q2, cost -1.0 expected points.
