Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 45.0?
Williams sits just below the middle of qualifying backs, 28th of 50. No single part of his game pushed the grade clearly up or down, so he lands near average. His game grades slid from 78.1 in week 1 to 31.1 in week 3, on 50 touches over 3 games.
Lifting the grade
- Week 2 vs NYG, Q2 3rd and 6: a 10-yard touchdown catch from Stafford, worth +2.9 expected points.
- Week 3 vs DEN, Q1 1st and 10: a 30-yard run up the middle, worth +2.0 expected points.
Holding it back
- Week 3 vs DEN, Q4 3rd and 6: a Stafford pass intended for him was intercepted by Hufanga and returned for a touchdown (-9.3 expected points).
- Week 2 vs NYG, Q2 1st and 10: he fumbled after a 5-yard run and Holland recovered (-5.3 expected points).
