The Baltimore Ravens will be rolling out backup QB Lamar Jackson this week, which usually means fewer pass attempts and more rushing.The model projects Derrick Henry to be a much bigger part of his team's passing attack near the end zone in this week's contest (5.1% projected Red Zone Target Share) than he has been this year (0.0% in games he has played).As it relates to air yards, Derrick Henry ranks in the lofty 85th percentile among running backs this year, averaging an astounding 2.0 per game. (because they are often targeted behind the line of scrimmage, this is far more noteworthy than it appears since most RBs average negative air yards).Opposing teams have completed passes at the highest rate in the NFL versus the Miami Dolphins defense this year (77.5% Adjusted Completion%).As it relates to the linebackers' role in run defense, Miami's unit has been very good this year, profiling as the 8th-best in the NFL.
