Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 31.5?
His grade is low mainly because his expected points per target, adjusted for tougher-than-average defenses, ranked 43rd of 62 receivers. Success rate, win probability added and target share were all near average and didn't move it much. The sample is small: 23 targets over 3 games.
Holding it back
- EPA per target was +0.056 expected points, 43rd of 62, even after credit for facing tougher defenses.
- Week 1 vs CHI: a 21-yard catch on 1st and 10 ended in a fumble, costing 3.8 expected points.
- Week 2 vs ATL: an incomplete pass on 4th and 2 cost 3.4 expected points.
