Given the game dynamics and the underlying tendencies of each team, this contest is predicted by the predictive model to see only 132.5 total plays run: the lowest number among all games this week.Still weather conditions (like the 3-mph wind being forecasted in this game) usually prompt better passing effectiveness, higher TD potential, higher air volume, and lower run volume.In this week's game, James Cook is projected by our trusted projection set to rank in the 92nd percentile among RBs with 2.8 targets.James Cook has compiled a colossal 1.0 air yards per game this year: 82nd percentile among running backs. (That may not sound like very many, but most RBs average negative air yards due to most of their targets being behind the line of scrimmage).In regards to protecting the passer (and the strong effect it has on all passing game metrics), the offensive line of the Bills grades out as the 9th-best in the league this year.
