The projections expect the Panthers to run the 9th-fewest plays on offense among all teams this week with 64.5 plays, given their underlying play style and game dynamics.With a RATE1-RATE2 point decrease in WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced metric that measures high-value offensive involvement) from last year to this one, D.J. Chark has been relied on much less in his offense's passing attack.In regards to pass protection (and the effect it has on all passing game statistics), the O-line of the Panthers grades out as the 2nd-worst in the NFL this year.D.J. Chark is positioned as one of the most unreliable receivers in the league, hauling in a mere 56.6% of balls thrown his way (adjusted for context) this year, checking in at the 11th percentile among wideouts
