The full read

DJ Moore had his second-most receiving yards of the season against the Ravens: 7 targets, 4 catches, 82 yards, a touchdown and +1.8 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position. A lost fumble before halftime cost -3.3 of it.

The big one came up 16-10 with 9:44 left in the third. First and 10 at the Buffalo 46, Josh Allen threw deep over the middle and Moore caught it for 49 yards to the Baltimore 5: +2.9 EPA and 6.1 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. James Cook scored two snaps later. Up 23-10 early in the fourth, third and 8 at the Baltimore 11, he caught a short pass to the left for the touchdown, +3.2 EPA. His 4-yard catch on fourth and 1 at the Baltimore 34 kept the next drive going, +1.6 EPA.

The cost came with 2:00 left in the half, up 13-7. He caught an 18-yarder to the Baltimore 21, and replay ruled he fumbled before he was down: Roquan Smith forced it and T.J. Tampa recovered at the 18, -3.3 EPA and 8.3 points of win probability.

The 82 yards trailed only his 100 in Week 1. Through Week 7, in four games, he had 12 catches on 20 targets for 178 yards, a touchdown and +6.4 EPA, +0.32 a target; here it was +0.25.
