The read

Cody grades about average among wide receivers so far, with no number far from the middle.

Role is growing: When he plays he is on the field for about 6 of every 10 plays lately, up from about 2 of every 10 plays before.

Written from his numbers, not from film. 5 games are behind the season figures.

How he stacks up

Every graded stat at a glance, against all the wide receivers in the league.

  • EPA per target+0.768th of 94small sample
  • Catches over expected−7.5 pts74th of 94small sample
  • Share of the team's passes8%92nd of 94

Left is the worst at his job, right is the best, and the line down the middle is average. The bubble is his percentile: 90 means better than nine in ten qualifying wide receivers. Faded bars are still small samples.

How he has progressed

Where he has ranked among wide receivers after each week, and every game behind it.

WorstMiddleBestrecent12345Week 4: 93rd percentileWeek 5: 93rd percentile93rd

Season rank holding near the 93rd percentile since Wk 4.

The line is his season-to-date rank among players at his position after each week, from 100 (the best) to 0 (the worst). It rises when he passes other players, not when he has one big game. Early weeks are noisier because fewer plays are behind them. The shaded weeks are the recent stretch.

One game is a small sample: a single stat over 3 targets can swing on a handful of plays. Shaded rows are the recent stretch.

The numbers, in context

Each one against every wide receiver with at least 12 targets. Right on the strip is better.

EPA per target

Elite

+0.76

8th of 94 wide receivers · top 9%

Expected points added: how many points the play added to (or took from) the offense's scoring chances, given the down, the distance and the field position. Every target counts, caught or not, so a receiver cannot hide behind a catch total.

The box score: Receiving yards rise with targets, not with what the targets were worth.

Does it show up in winning? Across 208 games league-wide, teams won 64% of the time when their wide receiver was in the best third on EPA per target, and 36% when he was in the worst third.

Last 2 games: +0.66 (9) vs +0.92 before−5.6grade points downWithin the noise

Small sample: could move a lot · 15 targets · true level likely +0.11 to +1.42

Catches over expected

Well below typical

−7.5 pts

74th of 94 wide receivers · bottom 23%

His catch rate compared with what each target's difficulty predicted. +4 means he catches 4 more of every 100 targets than the throws suggested.

The box score: Catch rate rewards the receiver who is only thrown easy passes.

Does it show up in winning? Across 207 games league-wide, teams won 62% of the time when their wide receiver was in the best third on catches over expected, and 39% when he was in the worst third.

Last 2 games: −5.2 pts (8) vs −10.5 pts before+3.4grade points upWithin the noise

Share of the team's passes

Among the weakest

8%

92nd of 94 wide receivers · bottom 4%

The portion of his team's pass attempts that were thrown to him, in the games he was targeted. It shows whether he is the focus of the offense.

The box score: Targets and receptions do not say how big the offense's passing game was.

Does it show up in winning? Across 425 games league-wide, a good or bad game on share of the team's passes from a wide receiver has not lined up much with his team winning (56% wins in the best third, 54% in the worst).

How he plays

Tendencies: how his game differs from the wide receivers around him. These are not better or worse, only different, and often say as much about the offense or defense he plays in as about him.

Average depth of target

Style

10.6 yds

Right around the middle of wide receivers: a typical one is 11.7 yds.

How far downfield his targets are, on average. It is a role, not a grade.

Small sample: could move a lot · 14 targets

Deep targets

Style

14%

Rarely goes deep, more than most wide receivers. A typical one is 19%.

The share of his targets that are 20 or more yards downfield.

Small sample: could move a lot · 14 targets

Playing time

He has played in 4 of his team's 4 games with snap counts, on the field for about 28% of the team's offensive plays when he plays.

Role is growing. When he plays he is on the field for about 6 of every 10 plays lately, up from about 2 of every 10 plays before.

Each column is a game: the share of his team's offensive snaps he played. 80% means about 8 of every 10 plays. “Out” means he did not play; a question mark means snap counts are not posted yet. Shaded games are the recent stretch.

Game by game

Every game this season: how it ended for his team, how much he played, his box score, and the advanced numbers from that one game. One game is a small sample, so read the right-hand columns as a snapshot, not his level.

Players with a similar profile

The wide receivers whose grades are closest to his across the same stats. Similar means similar numbers, not the same style of play.

Ranks are among players at the same job who have enough plays to be graded. Grades and rankings come from play-by-play, charting and snap-count data, so they cannot see blocking, route running or assignments. See how the grades work.
