The projections expect the Los Angeles Chargers to be the least run-oriented team on the slate this week with a 36.6% run rate, based on their underlying play style and matchup dynamics.The passing offenses of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the still weather conditions (0-mph wind) being predicted in this game, while ground volume may decline.While Joshua Kelley has received 52.8% of his offense's carries in games he has played this year, the leading projections forecast him to be a much smaller piece of Los Angeles's ground game in this game at 25.1%.When talking about blocking for rushers (and the importance it has on all ground game stats), the O-line of the Los Angeles Chargers profiles as the worst in the league last year.Joshua Kelley's ground effectiveness has diminished this year, averaging a mere 3.70 adjusted yards-per-carry compared to a 4.54 figure last year.
