Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 41.1?
Wilson's grade is below average mainly because his targets produced only modest expected points per play, even after crediting him for tough defenses. He gets a lot of targets, but they haven't added much. Only 31 targets over 3 games is a small sample.
Holding it back
- Adjusted EPA per target is +0.137 expected points per play, 37th of 62 WRs.
- Week 2 vs SEA: a deep left throw on 3rd and 7 was intercepted by Love (-2.8 expected points).
- Week 2 vs SEA: an incomplete pass on 3rd and 5 cost 1.7 expected points.
