Season so far
Blake Brandel has performed at a net-negative level through two starts, earning a 58.9 overall grade across 121 snaps. His output declined notably from a replacement-level 64.5 mark in Week 2 to a detrimental 54.0 grade in Week 3. While he initially flashed solid run blocking by generating push on double teams and executing reach blocks, he was thoroughly neutralized by Tampa Bay's interior defensive linemen in his second outing. In pass protection, where he holds a 56.5 facet grade, severe miscues have heavily hindered his evaluation. Brandel's grade has been dragged down by an errant snap that yielded a 22-yard loss, a blown protection slide that caused an unblocked sack, and multiple conceded batted balls.
