The model projects the New Orleans Saints to call the 2nd-most total plays among all teams this week with 68.9 plays, accounting for their underlying play style and game dynamics.This game will be played in a dome—meaning no wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.In this contest, Alvin Kamara is projected by the predictive model to finish in the 100th percentile among running backs with 8.9 targets.As it relates to air yards, Alvin Kamara grades out in the towering 80th percentile among running backs this year, averaging a massive 1.0 per game. (given that they are usually targeted behind the line of scrimmage, this is much more impressive than it appears since most RBs wind up with negative air yards).Alvin Kamara's 34.6 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced statistic that examines high-value offensive involvement) has been notably higher this year than it was last year at 28.9.
