The full read
Kayshon Boutte had his biggest game of the season against the Chargers: 5 targets, 4 catches, 125 yards, two touchdowns and +6.3 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position. The 125 yards were more than three times his previous high this season, 38.
The longest came up 31-9 early in the fourth. Third and 5 at the Houston 37, C.J. Stroud threw deep over the middle and Boutte caught it for a 63-yard touchdown, +6.4 EPA, the most valuable play of the game by that measure. He had already scored before halftime: up 17-9 with 43 seconds left, second and 10 at the Chargers' 47, he caught a 35-yarder to the 12, and on the next snap a 12-yard touchdown for 24-9. On Houston's first drive of the second half, his 15-yard catch converted a third and 1, and the drive ended in a Nico Collins touchdown.
His one other target was the costly one. Up 10-6 in the second quarter, Stroud threw short over the middle for him and Daiyan Henley intercepted, -6.0 EPA and 16 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win.
Through seven games he had 15 catches on 23 targets for 194 yards and no touchdowns, +0.41 EPA a target; here it was +1.25.
