The projections expect the Washington Commanders offensive approach to tilt 13.0% more towards the passing game than it did last season (in a neutral context) with offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy now calling the plays.The predictive model expects the Commanders as the 8th-most pass-oriented offense on the slate this week with a 60.1% pass rate, based on their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.In this game, Antonio Gibson is expected by the predictive model to finish in the 76th percentile when it comes to running backs with 2.9 targets.As it relates to air yards, Antonio Gibson grades out in the towering 87th percentile among RBs this year, accruing a monstrous 3.0 per game. (given that they are usually targeted behind the line of scrimmage, this is far more noteworthy than it sounds since most RBs have negative air yards).The Commanders O-line profiles as the 5th-best in the NFL this year in pass protection, which has a positive impact on all air attack statistics across the board.
