The full read
Chris Bell was Malik Willis's third-down option against the Jets: three of his 4 targets came on third down, and he finished with 3 catches, 25 yards and +0.36 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position.
His best came up 21-14 with 4:15 left in the third quarter: third and 7 at the Miami 20, a short throw to the right that he took 9 yards and out of bounds, +1.95 EPA and 4.3 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. He caught an 8-yarder on the next snap, but the drive ended in a sack and a punt. In the second quarter his 8-yard catch on third and 10 left Willis a fourth and 2, which Willis converted with a scramble. A third-and-5 throw to him in the third fell incomplete, and Miami punted.
Through Week 5 he had 5 catches on 15 targets for 92 yards and -1.3 EPA.
