The model projects this game to have the most plays run on the slate this week at 135.5 plays, given the traits of each team and game dynamics.The Saints defense has been something of pass funnel since the start of last season, leading opposing QBs to attempt the 10th-most passes in the NFL (33.8 per game) since the start of last season.James Cook has run a route on 45.3% of his offense's passing plays this year, ranking him in the 80th percentile when it comes to running backs.In this week's contest, James Cook is expected by the model to secure a spot in the 78th percentile among running backs with 3.2 targets.As it relates to air yards, James Cook ranks in the lofty 81st percentile among RBs since the start of last season, averaging a superb 1.0 per game. (due to most of their targets being behind the line of scrimmage, this is far more notable than it sounds since most RBs have negative air yards).
