Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 43.5?
Boutte's grade lands almost exactly average because none of his key numbers stood out either way — his target share, success rate, and points added per target were all in the middle of the pack. With only 9 targets graded, a play or two could swing this quickly.
Holding it back
- Faced easier-than-average defenses, which cost him 0.030 expected points per play in the grade.
- Incomplete deep target in week 2 vs CIN cost 1.2 expected points.
- Incomplete deep target in week 1 vs BUF cost 0.6 expected points.
