Welcome to Going Deep! This weekly article will use charting data, advanced metrics, and other RotoViz tools to help its readers better understand the challenges facing wide receivers and tight ends in the coming week.

This week’s Going Deep Worksheet can be found at the end of the article and includes data from weeks 17 of 2020, and all games played in 2021. For a better understanding of the information contained within it, please check out this article.

Miami Dolphins @ Jacksonville Jaguars

The Dolphins have allowed more players to go for 10.0 or more points than any other team since Week 17 of last season, rank 28th in yards allowed per coverage snap, and are tied with the Colts for the highest percentage of boom plays allowed.^[1]The percentage of dropbacks that resulted in an EPA of 1 or more; a very successful play for the offense This bodes well for Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault. Jones and Shenault run routes from the slot and both sides of the formation. As a result, they’ll face coverage from Xavien Howard and Byron Jones. Howard is allowing 12.1 points when directly targeted and Jones 7.9. Miami’s other corner, Nik Needham, is surrendering 8.9 points per direct target and will likely match up frequently against Jamal Agnew who primarily plays from the slot.
