Where his targets come from
Share of his targets. The white tick is the league average.
How PHI defend it
Ranked of 32, last 17 games. Green is a weakness to attack.
- 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.
- Don't force short throws: they've been Adams's worst return (-0.04 EPA a target), and Philadelphia are 5th there.
- 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).
- Free data doesn't show who covers whom on each snap, so this is the defence's profile, not a confirmed one-on-one.
