The San Francisco 49ers will be forced to use backup QB Mac Jones in this week's contest, which typically means fewer pass attempts and more rushes.Our trusted projections expect the 49ers as the 10th-least run-heavy offense among all teams this week with a 41.6% run rate, accounting for their underlying traits and matchup dynamics.With a dreadful rate of 4.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground (22nd percentile), Mac Jones has been among the worst running QBs in the NFL this year.Mac Jones's 1.38 adjusted yards per carry (YPC) this season conveys a noteworthy diminishment in his running proficiency over last season's 3.33 mark.The Falcons safeties profile as the best safety corps in football this year in regard to defending the run.
