![]() The good news is that our wide receivers were targeted on deeper passes (right of the vertical green line), which wasn’t the case early on in the last 2 seasons. These next two graphs are also the same data for Week 1, but they have different scales (weekly vs. The running backs were the leading receivers. Since it is week 1, the top (weekly) and bottom (season to date) receiver graphs are the same. Unfortunately, too many incompletions diluted that impact, ending up with the 22nd ranked yards per attempt (6.6). In week 1, the Colts’ receivers provided the 10th highest avg yac and the 9th most yac over expected. Short passes are OK as long as receivers get good yards after the catch and the completion rate is high. The chart on the right compares the below-average depth of target against the below-average epa/d. ![]() The distance on both attempts (5.7 yds) and completions (4.1 yds) was extremely short, each ranking 27th (left chart). ![]() It started out good, but then it was not good. In addition to the above mention epa numbers, it also shows his 20th ranked 1st down conversion rate (lower left 31.8%) and his 22nd ranked net yards per drop-back (lower right 5.6). These next charts are week over week trends, so they are pretty bare for now. Wentz also managed a 13th best 53.3% Passing Success Rate, but a good portion of that, as well as his epa efficiency, came in 4th qtr garbage time. It’s much worse than Philip Rivers 2020 week 1 ( +0.21 ) and better than Jacoby Brissett’s 2019 opening day ( +0.01 ). That ranks 20th of the 30 QBs that have played through Sunday night. I will probably modify the charts throughout the season.ĭespite being pressured most of the day, Carson Wentz managed a +0.07 epa per drop-back. (click charts for larger view)įor those of you new to this, I will publish key QB stats each week judging how well the Colts passing game performed. Commentary will be brief but feel free to let me know in the comments that stats aren’t everything. Thanks to the nflFastR project and NFL NextGen Stats for the timely sources of data.
