63: situation-dependent

One number for how well Egbuka has actually played lately, not a talent rating. 70% is the skill profile, weighted towards efficiency; the rest is how steady his games are and whether he still produces against the better defences. Ranked against every qualified wide receiver; 99 is the best. Over the last three seasons he scores 60 (#80 of 121).

The read
  1. Pittsburgh rank 27th against intermediate throws, which make up 39% of Egbuka's targets.
  2. Contested catches aren't his edge this week: he's 38th percentile for separation and 16th for hands, and Joey Porter Jr. and Brandin Echols both allow fewer yards per target than the average corner (7.4).
  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.
