The full breakdown

Felton earned a 60.0 replacement grade largely due to playing 45 neutral reps across 48 total snaps. His receiving grade suffered slightly (59) after failing to create separation on a deep out route on 3rd & 8 (Q1 02:39), which allowed a pass breakup. On special teams (62), he had a mixed outing; he failed to sustain his block on the opening kickoff (Q1 15:00) to allow a tackle, but rebounded at Q1 09:00 with a clean seal on the punter to spring an 86-yard punt return touchdown. He was completely neutral across his seven run-blocking reps.
