At a -3-point disadvantage, the Texans are underdogs in this week's contest, implying more of a reliance on throwing than their usual game plan.Accounting for the game dynamics and the underlying tendencies of each team, this contest is projected by the projection model to see 136.0 total plays run: the 2nd-highest number among all games this week.This game will be played in a dome—which means no wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and increased passing effectiveness.The predictive model expects Dalton Schultz to notch 5.8 targets in this contest, on balance, putting him in the 87th percentile when it comes to tight ends.With a remarkable 3.7 adjusted receptions per game (82nd percentile) this year, Dalton Schultz ranks as one of the top TEs in the pass game in football.
