The Texans rank as the 6th-most pass-centric team in football (in a neutral context) last year with a 63.3% pass rate.Given the game dynamics and the underlying traits of each team, this game is expected by the model to have 132.1 plays on offense run: the 2nd-most among all games this week.The forecast calls for 1-mph wind in this game. Low wind usually means increased pass volume, and lower ground volume, increased TD potential, and better passing effectiveness.This week, Christian Kirk is predicted by the predictive model to place in the 75th percentile among wide receivers with 6.1 targets.With a top-tier 19.6% Target Rate (82nd percentile) last year, Christian Kirk has been as one of the wide receivers with the biggest workloads in football.
