Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 14.6?
Ferguson's grade is low mainly because his targets produced slightly negative expected points per play, 21st of 24 tight ends. The other measures were near average-impact. This is a small sample, 12 targets in 1 game, so a few plays can swing it a lot.
Lifting the grade
- Nothing lifted the grade, though he had good plays like the 20-yard catch from Stafford in week 2 vs NYG (+2.3 expected points).
- His 5-yard touchdown catch in week 2 vs NYG added +1.6 expected points.
Holding it back
- EPA per target was -0.025 expected points per play, 21st of 24 tight ends.
- Week 1 vs SF, 4th and 5: incomplete deep right pass cost 2.8 expected points.
- Week 2 vs NYG, 3rd and 8: incomplete short left pass cost 1.9 expected points.
