Cooper Kupp has run a route on 96.9% of his team's passing plays since the start of last season, ranking in the 99th percentile among wide receivers.

Favors Under

The Los Angeles Rams have played in the 2nd-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the league since the start of last season, which should lead to lower pass volume, higher running volume, and reduced passing offense efficiency when facing windier conditions in this week's contest.
The Buffalo Bills pass defense has allowed the 3rd-lowest Completion% in football (60.9%) vs. WRs since the start of last season (60.9%).
The Buffalo Bills safeties rank as the best collection of safeties in the league since the start of last season in pass coverage.
The Los Angeles Rams have used play action on just 21.0% of their dropbacks since the start of last season (5th-least in the NFL), creating a more one-dimensional offense that hurts passing production.
The Los Angeles Rams have risked going for it on 4th down a lowly 14.7% of the time since the start of last season (4th-least in the NFL), which usually means less offensive volume, less touchdown potential, and lower offensive statistics across the board.
