Favors Under

The 4th-smallest volume of plays in football have been run by the Los Angeles Chargers last year (only 55.5 per game on average).
Los Angeles's passing stats last year may be artificially propped up a bit (and running stats decreased) in light of playing the 9th-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the league. We ought to be able to count on some correction with windier conditions this week.
The projections expect Keenan Allen to be a less important option in his team's passing attack in this week's contest (19.0% projected Target Share) than he has been last year (27.3% in games he has played).
Keenan Allen has been one of the worst possession receivers in football, hauling in a mere 61.0% of passes thrown his way (adjusted for context) last year, ranking in the 23rd percentile among wide receivers
