The read
  1. Philadelphia are mid-table or better at every depth over their last 17 games. Adams's likeliest route is intermediate throws (39% of his targets), where they rank 11th.
  2. Don't force short throws: they've been Adams's worst return (-0.04 EPA a target), and Philadelphia are 5th there.
  3. Contested catches aren't his edge this week: he's 7th percentile for separation and 63rd for hands, and Quinyon Mitchell and Adoree' Jackson both allow fewer yards per target than the average corner (7.4).
  4. Free data doesn't show who covers whom on each snap, so this is the defence's profile, not a confirmed one-on-one.

The read
  1. the Rams are top ten against short, intermediate and deep throws over their last 17 games (9th, 8th, 3rd). There's no obvious soft spot for Smith to lean on.
  2. Don't force short throws: they've been Smith's worst return (-0.01 EPA a target), and the Rams are 9th there.
  3. Free data doesn't show who covers whom on each snap, so this is the defence's profile, not a confirmed one-on-one.
