The projections expect the Cincinnati Bengals to be the 2nd-most pass-heavy team among all teams this week with a 66.0% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.Calm weather conditions (like the 2-mph wind being predicted in this game) generally mean increased passing efficiency, increased TD potential, increased air volume, and lower ground volume.The leading projections forecast Joe Mixon to earn 3.8 targets in this week's contest, on balance, putting him in the 84th percentile among running backs.Joe Mixon's skills in generating extra yardage have been refined this year, accumulating 10.84 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) vs a measly 7.55 rate last year.The Bills pass defense has exhibited poor efficiency vs. running backs this year, conceding 7.20 adjusted yards-per-target to the position: the 3rd-most in the league.
