The San Francisco 49ers will be rolling out backup QB Mac Jones this week, which usually means fewer pass attempts and more rushing.At a -5.5-point disadvantage, the 49ers are underdogs in this week's game, indicating more of an emphasis on moving the ball through the air than their standard game plan.The projections expect the San Francisco 49ers to be the 3rd-least run-focused team among all teams this week with a 37.8% run rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.The weatherman calls for 1-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means higher pass volume, and reduced rush volume, higher touchdown potential, and increased passing effectiveness.With a terrible rate of 3.38 adjusted yards per carry (20th percentile) this year, Christian McCaffrey stands among the worst running backs in the league at the position.
