23 of 30 passing for 196 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1 interception; 3 carries for 10 yards.

Verdict: The points matched the role, 15.1 expected.

Derek Carr Unlucky

LV · QB · 12.4 pts on 18.0 expected

28 of 38 passing for 249 yards; 2 carries for 24 yards.

Verdict: The role was there, worth 18.0 points at league-average rates; the production wasn't.

Antonio Gibson Volume, no payoff

WAS · RB · 22.1 pts on 24.9 expected

6 targets (20% of the team's), 5 catches for 23 yards and 1 touchdown; 23 carries (77% of the team's) for 88 yards.

Logan Thomas Ran hot

WAS · TE · 13.8 pts on 8.4 expected

5 targets (17% of the team's), 3 catches for 48 yards and 1 touchdown.

Verdict: The opportunities were worth 8.4 points; the touchdowns supplied the rest, and they are the part least likely to repeat.

John Bates

WAS · TE · 7.2 pts on 6.7 expected

4 targets (13% of the team's), 3 catches for 42 yards.
