At the present time, the 4th-most pass-heavy team in football (63.1% context-neutralized) according to the projections is the New York Jets.New York's passing stats since the start of last season may be artificially deflated (and rushing stats propped up a bit) as a result of playing the most "bad weather" (rain, snow, or 15+ mph wind) games in the NFL. We should be able to expect some regression with improved conditions in this week's contest.Allen Lazard has run a route on 84.2% of his team's dropbacks since the start of last season, placing him in the 75th percentile among wide receivers.Allen Lazard's 69.9% Adjusted Catch Rate this season shows a significant gain in his pass-catching prowess over last season's 47.4% rate.Since the start of last season, the poor Broncos pass defense has yielded a colossal 67.9% Adjusted Completion Rate versus opposing wide receivers: the 9th-worst rate in football.
