Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 62.1?
Through a small three-game sample, Odunze's grade sits a bit above average mainly because his EPA per target was strong, especially against tougher-than-usual defenses. Everything else about his profile was roughly typical for a wide receiver.
Lifting the grade
- EPA per target of +0.398 ranked 38th of 91 WRs, lifting the grade
- Week 1 at Carolina: 47-yard catch pushed out of bounds worth +3.8 expected points
Holding it back
- Week 3 vs Philadelphia was rough: three incompletions worth -1.8, -1.8 and -1.6 expected points dragged that game to a 30.1 grade
