An extreme rushing game script is implied by the Chiefs being a heavy 7-point favorite in this week's game.Our trusted projections expect the Chiefs to run the 8th-fewest total plays on the slate this week with 62.9 plays, given their underlying traits and game dynamics.Opposing quarterbacks teams have been reluctant to rely on the passing game too much against the Broncos, averaging the 10th-fewest attempts in the league (a measly 34.1 per game) this year.Marquez Valdes-Scantling's 6.6% Target Rate this year reflects a material reduction in his air attack workload over last year's 12.8% mark.After averaging 66.0 air yards per game last season, Marquez Valdes-Scantling has seen a big decline this season, currently pacing 39.0 per game.
