The model projects the Dolphins as the 8th-most pass-heavy offense among all teams this week with a 61.0% pass rate, accounting for their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics.Miami's passing stats last year may be artificially deflated (and running stats propped up a bit) due to playing the most "bad weather" (rain, snow, or 15+ mph wind) games in the league. We should be able to count on some regression with better conditions in this week's game.The Jaguars defense has been a well-known pass funnel last year, inciting opposing QBs to attempt the 10th-most passes in football (35.2 per game) last year.The model projects Jonnu Smith to garner 4.1 targets in this game, on average, placing him in the 79th percentile when it comes to tight ends.With an elite 14.1% Target Rate (82nd percentile) last year, Jonnu Smith stands as one of the tight ends with the most usage in the league.
