95: elite creator

One number for how well Waddle 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 90 (#19 of 121).

The read
  1. the Rams are mid-table or better at every depth over their last 17 games. Waddle's likeliest route is intermediate throws (40% of his targets), where they rank 12th.
  2. Don't force deep balls: they've been Waddle's worst return (-0.08 EPA a target), and the Rams are 3rd 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.
