Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 5.6?
Wayne's grade is near the bottom among qualifying receivers, mainly because his targets produced very little expected points. This is a small sample of 12 targets over 2 games, so a couple of plays swing it a lot.
Holding it back
- EPA per target was -0.339 expected points per play, 58th of 62, even after adjusting for facing easier-than-average defenses.
- Week 2 vs CIN, 4th and 1 in Q4: incomplete short middle pass, costing 3.1 expected points.
- Two more incompletions in that CIN game, on 3rd and 10 in Q3 (-1.5) and 3rd and 8 in Q1 (-1.4), also hurt.
