The Dolphins will be rolling with backup quarterback Skylar Thompson in this week's game, which generally means fewer pass attempts and more rushes.The leading projections forecast the Miami Dolphins to call the 6th-most offensive plays on the slate this week with 66.0 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.Miami's passing stats since the start of last season may be artificially deflated (and rushing stats inflated) in light of playing the most "bad weather" (rain, snow, or 15+ mph wind) games in the NFL. We should be able to count on some correction with improved conditions in this week's contest.Calm weather conditions (like the 4-mph wind being forecasted in this game) usually lead to better passing efficiency, increased touchdown potential, increased air volume, and reduced ground volume.This week, Devon Achane is projected by the projection model to finish in the 97th percentile among running backs with 5.5 targets.
