The 49ers will be rolling with backup QB Mac Jones in this contest, which usually means fewer pass attempts and more rush attempts.Given their underlying traits and game dynamics, the San Francisco 49ers are predicted by the projections to run 65.3 total plays in this contest: the 7th-highest number among all teams this week.Opposing offenses have averaged 33.5 pass attempts per game against the Cardinals defense since the start of last season: 10th-most in the league.Christian McCaffrey has been a big part of his team's offense near the end zone, posting a Red Zone Target Share of 35.7% this year, which ranks him in the 99th percentile when it comes to RBs.In regards to air yards, Christian McCaffrey grades out in the lofty 100th percentile among running backs since the start of last season, totaling a monstrous 18.0 per game. (given that they are usually targeted behind the line of scrimmage, this is far more impressive than it sounds since most RBs have negative air yards).
