The read
  1. the Jets rank 32nd against short throws, which make up 70% of Washington's targets.
  2. Don't force deep balls: they've been Washington's worst return (-0.62 EPA a target), and the Jets are 18th there.
  3. Work the right side: 42% of his targets go that way and the Jets rank 32nd defending throws there.
  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.

The read
  1. Miami rank 27th against short throws, which make up 65% of Wilson's targets.
  2. Work the middle: 21% of his targets go that way and Miami rank 30th defending throws there.
  3. Contested catches aren't his edge this week: he's 72nd percentile for separation and 37th for hands, and Rasul Douglas and Julius Brents both allow 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.
