Brandin Cooks Receiving Yards Prop is currently Over/Under 51.5 (-105/-125).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The Houston Texans will be rolling with backup quarterback Kyle Allen in this week's game, which generally means fewer pass attempts and more rush attempts.
The Houston Texans boast a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to skew 1.7% more towards passing than it did last year (adjusted for context).
The Texans are a 3-point underdog in this week's game, which points towards a passing game script.
THE BLITZ projects the Houston Texans as the 8th-most pass-heavy team on the slate this week with a 63.1% pass rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
Opposing teams have averaged 36.2 pass attempts per game vs. the Miami Dolphins defense this year: 4th-most in the NFL.
Favors Under
THE BLITZ projects the Texans to call the 2nd-least offensive plays on the slate this week with 62.3 plays, based on their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
The Houston Texans have called the 5th-least plays in the league this year, totaling a lowly 54.4 plays per game.
Brandin Cooks has been a much smaller piece of his offense's pass attack this year (22.3% Target Share in games he has played) than he was last year (28.2%).
Brandin Cooks has posted far fewer air yards this year (72.0 per game) than he did last year (93.0 per game).
The Houston Texans offensive line ranks as the 6th-worst in football this year in protecting the QB, which has a harmful impact on all passing attack stats across the board.
