The read
  1. Tennessee rank 30th against deep balls, and 6% of Fannin's targets travel 20+ yards (the average TE is at 6%).
  2. Work the middle: 30% of his targets go that way and Tennessee rank 31st defending throws 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.

The read
  1. Cleveland are top ten against short, intermediate and deep throws over their last 17 games (3rd, 6th, 5th). There's no obvious soft spot for Robinson to lean on.
  2. Free data doesn't show who covers whom on each snap, so this is the defence's profile, not a confirmed one-on-one.
