Our trusted projections expect the New Orleans Saints to be the 10th-least pass-centric offense in football (in a neutral context) right now with a 59.7% pass rate.The New Orleans Saints have played in the 2nd-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the league since the start of last season, which should result in lower pass volume, higher running volume, and reduced offense effectiveness when facing windier conditions in this week's game.The Saints are willing to include receivers in their run game, and Brandin Cooks has earned 2.3% of red zone rush attempts since the start of last season (0th when it comes to wide receivers).Brandin Cooks has been has not been looked to very often his team's pass game near the goal line, garnering a Red Zone Target Share of just 0.0% this year, which places him in the 1st percentile among WRs.The New Orleans O-line grades out as the worst in the NFL since the start of last season in pass protection, which has a negative impact on all pass game stats across the board.
