Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 22.9?
Otton's grade is low because his targets rarely produced successful plays, and the expected points they added were below the typical tight end. Only 17 targets over 3 games are graded, so this is a small sample.
Holding it back
- Success rate on targets was 35%, 23rd of 24 tight ends, so most throws to him did not help the offense.
- EPA per target was +0.124 expected points, 18th of 24.
- Week 2 vs CLE, 3rd and 13: he caught a pass for 9 yards, short of the first down, which cost 1.6 expected points.
