The leading projections forecast the Chiefs to be the 2nd-most pass-heavy team in the NFL (context-neutralized) right now with a 65.8% pass rate.Our trusted projections expect DeAndre Hopkins to be a more integral piece of his team's passing game in this week's game (19.3% projected Target Share) than he has been this year (13.6% in games he has played).As it relates to pass-blocking (and the strong impact it has on all pass attack statistics), the offensive line of the Kansas City Chiefs profiles as the best in the NFL this year.DeAndre Hopkins's 74.7% Adjusted Completion% this season reflects a noteworthy gain in his receiving skills over last season's 56.6% rate.This year, the shaky Panthers pass defense has conceded a monstrous 68.6% Adjusted Completion Rate to opposing wide receivers: the 7th-worst rate in football.
