Opposing QBs teams have been unwilling to test the pass defense of the Texans, totaling the 10th-fewest attempts in the NFL (a mere 32.3 per game) since the start of last season.While Cole Kmet has accounted for 19.5% of his team's targets in games he has played since the start of last season, the projections expect him to be a less important option in Chicago's passing offense in this game at 10.5%.The Chicago offensive line profiles as the 9th-worst in the NFL since the start of last season in protecting the quarterback, which has a negative influence on all air attack metrics across the board.With a poor 3.82 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) (18th percentile) since the start of last season, Cole Kmet has been among the best pass-game TEs in football in the open field.Since the start of last season, the imposing Texans defense has yielded the 8th-least adjusted yards-per-target in football to opposing TEs: a puny 7.0 yards.
