Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 79.8?
Wicks grades well because his targets have produced a lot of expected points per play, even after a small deduction for facing easier-than-average defenses. The sample is small, just 15 targets over 3 games, and his game grades swung from 97.7 in week 2 to 0.7 in week 3.
Lifting the grade
- EPA per target of +0.644 expected points per play, 14th of 62 WRs, lifted the grade a lot.
- Week 1 vs WAS: Hurts' deep right pass to Wicks went for 64 yards (+4.2 expected points).
- Week 2 at TEN: a 27-yard deep middle catch on 3rd and 12 added +3.6 expected points.
