Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 21.8?
Douglas's grade is low mainly because his targets produced below-average expected points per play, even after crediting him for facing tougher-than-average defenses. It's a small sample of 14 targets across 2 games, so a couple of plays can swing it a lot.
Holding it back
- EPA per target of -0.056 ranked 46th of 62 WRs, which pulled the grade down.
- Week 3 vs JAX: a 4th-and-7 deep left pass from DeVito fell incomplete (-2.8 expected points).
- Week 1 vs SEA: a 3rd-and-14 deep middle pass intended for him was intercepted by Love (-1.9 expected points).
