The Washington Commanders may take to the air less in this week's game (and call more carries) given that they be rolling with backup quarterback Marcus Mariota.The predictive model expects this game to have the 2nd-highest number of plays run on the slate this week at 133.3 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.The Washington Commanders have called the 3rd-most plays in the league since the start of last season, totaling a colossal 59.9 plays per game.While Deebo Samuel Sr. has received 17.4% of his offense's red zone targets in games he has played since the start of last season, the model projects him to be a more integral piece of Washington's pass game near the end zone in this contest at 23.7%.Deebo Samuel Sr.'s ball-catching skills have been refined this season, with his Adjusted Catch Rate rising from 63.6% to 82.0%.
