Evan Engram Receptions
Player Prop Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Denver Broncos

 
 
 
Evan Engram Receptions Prop is currently Over/Under 3.5 (+125/-165).

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
  • The Jacksonville Jaguars will have a new play-caller this season in head coach Doug Pederson, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to skew 2.4% more towards passing than it did last season (context-neutralized).
  • THE BLITZ projects the Jaguars to call the 2nd-most offensive plays on the slate this week with 67.1 plays, accounting for their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
  • Opposing QBs have averaged 39.1 pass attempts per game against the Denver Broncos defense this year: 5th-most in the NFL.
  • THE BLITZ projects Evan Engram to accumulate 5.9 targets this week, on average, ranking in the 92nd percentile among TEs.
  • Evan Engram's 36.1 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—a volume metric that measures high-value offensive involvement) has been significantly higher this season than it was last season at 28.6.

  • FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:
  • The weather forecast calls for 13-mph wind in this game. High wind typically means lower pass volume (and increased run volume) and lessened passing efficiency.
  • The Denver Broncos safeties profile as the 2nd-best group of safeties in football this year in covering pass-catchers.
  • The Jacksonville Jaguars have gone up against a stacked the box on a measly 11.1% of their plays since the start of last season, 3rd-least in the NFL. Keeping an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
  • The Denver Broncos have stacked the box vs. opponents on just 9.1% of their plays since the start of last season, 3rd-least in football. Choosing not to position an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.
