Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 60.4?
Sadiq's grade sits a bit above the middle for tight ends, mainly because he created strong expected points per target. The sample is small, just 14 targets over 3 games, and his results swung a lot, with a big week 3 at Detroit after a rough week 2.
Lifting the grade
- EPA per target of +0.420 expected points per play ranks 9th of 24 tight ends, after a small adjustment for facing easier defenses.
- Week 3 vs DET, Q2: a 24-yard touchdown from Smith on 2nd and 12 (+3.4 expected points).
- Week 3 vs DET, Q4: a 43-yard catch down to the DET 13 (+2.9 expected points).
