70: quality starter

One number for how well II 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 tight end; 99 is the best. The three-season score needs more games before it means anything.

The read
  1. Kansas City rank 19th against deep balls, which make up 14% of Gadsden's targets.
  2. Don't force short throws: they've been Gadsden's worst return (-0.11 EPA a target), and Kansas City are 14th there.
  3. Contested catches aren't his edge this week: he's 50th percentile for separation and 5th for hands, and Trent McDuffie allows 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.
