Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 15.0?
Wilson's grade is low mainly because his touches cost Seattle expected points, ranking 44th of 51 backs even after credit for tougher-than-average defenses. It's a small sample of 33 touches over 2 games, so a few plays swing it a lot.

- Week 2 vs ARI, Q4 1st and 10: an 18-yard run to the SEA 48 added 1.2 expected points.
- Week 2 vs ARI, Q2 2nd and 5: a 10-yard run to the ARI 46 added 0.9 expected points.
Holding it back
- EPA per touch was -0.279, 44th of 51 backs, the main drag on his grade.
- Week 2 vs ARI, Q2 4th and 1: a run up the middle lost 1 yard, costing 4.9 expected points.
- Week 1 vs NE, Q4 3rd and 1: a run to the right guard gained nothing, costing 1.6 expected points.
