Based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Miami Dolphins to pass on 62.3% of their chances: the 4th-highest rate among all teams this week.Miami's passing stats since the start of last season may be artificially decreased (and running stats too high) as a result of playing the most "bad weather" (rain, snow, or 15+ mph wind) games in football. We figure to be able to expect some regression with better weather this week.The pass attacks of both teams (as it relates to both volume and efficiency) ought to benefit from the calm weather conditions (2-mph wind) being called for in this game, while rush volume may slide.With a top-tier 68.1% Route Participation Rate (80th percentile) since the start of last season, Durham Smythe ranks as one of the TEs with the biggest workloads in the NFL.Durham Smythe comes in as one of the most sure-handed receivers in football among TEs, hauling in an exceptional 80.7% of passes thrown his way (adjusted for context) since the start of last season, ranking in the 85th percentile.
