Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 9.0?
Jeanty's low grade comes from inefficient touches: he has lost expected points on average per touch and rarely kept drives on schedule. Even against easier-than-average defenses, he ranks 45th of 51 backs across 80 touches in 3 games.
Holding it back
- EPA per touch of -0.286, 46th of 51 RBs, was the biggest drag on the grade.
- Only 29% of his carries were successful (kept the offense on schedule), 45th of 51.
- Week 2 at LAC: a 4th-and-1 direct snap went up the middle for no gain at the LAC 1 (-4.5 expected points).
