Accounting for their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics, the projections expect the Carolina Panthers to pass on 51.7% of their opportunities: the 5th-lowest clip among all teams this week.The forecast calls for 16-mph wind in this game. High wind usually means lower pass volume (and higher run volume) and worse passing effectiveness.After totaling 74.0 air yards per game last season, D.J. Chark has significantly declined this season, now averaging 51.0 per game.D.J. Chark's 32.7 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced statistic that calculates high-value offensive usage) has been significantly lower this year than it was last year at 42.4.The Carolina O-line ranks as the 2nd-worst in football this year in pass protection, which has a harmful effect on all passing offense stats across the board.
