The read
Rashid grades below average among wide receivers so far, with no number far from the middle.
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.

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.
Season rank holding near the 4th percentile since Wk 2.
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 4 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
▼Among the weakest
−0.44
90th of 94 wide receivers · bottom 6%
−0.14worse to better+0.75
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.
Catches over expected
▼Among the weakest
−15.0 pts
88th of 94 wide receivers · bottom 8%
−12.8 ptsworse to better+13.2 pts
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.

▲Above typical
−0.5 yds
30th of 83 wide receivers · top 37%
−2.4 ydsworse to better+0.9 yds
The yards he gains after the catch compared with what a typical receiver gets from that spot. It separates the player who makes defenders miss from the one who is simply open.
The box score: Yards after the catch is a total, not a comparison with where he caught it.
Does it show up in winning? Across 176 games league-wide, a good or bad game on yards after catch over expected from a wide receiver has not lined up much with his team winning (49% wins in the best third, 58% in the worst).
Drop rate

60th of 85 wide receivers · bottom 31%

Passes charted as drops, per target. Fewer is better. Almost everyone has few, so it is shown but not counted in his overall grade.
The box score: Drops are not an official stat.
Does it show up in winning? Across 174 games league-wide, a good or bad game on drop rate from a wide receiver has not lined up much with his team winning (50% wins in the best third, 48% in the worst).

▼Below typical

68th of 94 wide receivers · bottom 29%

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.

The box score
The traditional totals, with where each ranks among wide receivers. A total rewards volume, which is why the advanced numbers above matter.
Rashid grades about average among punt returners so far, with no number far from the middle.
Lately he is playing worse. EPA per punt fielded is +0.00 over the last 2 games (7 punts), against +0.18 before that. A few plays could easily explain this. Worth watching, not worth believing yet.
Written from his numbers, not from film. 5 games are behind the season figures.
