What It Means:

After Coates failed to come down with a pass in the end zone, Tomlin told the receiver Hunter would have made the catch. "You’ve got to start grabbing that," Tomlin continued. "It’s two dogs for one bone. I’m going to start applying pressure." Coates is still the favorite, but he needs to show well over the next several weeks.

Last year, Coates turned in 0.76 Reception Net Expected Points (NEP) per target on 49 targets. Hunter had 1.05 Reception NEP per target on 23 looks with the Buffalo Bills.
