The New York Jets will be forced to start backup quarterback Zach Wilson in this game, which usually means fewer pass attempts and more rush attempts.The Jets are a 3-point underdog in this week's game, likely creating a passing game script.Given the game dynamics and the underlying tendencies of each team, this game is anticipated by the predictive model to see 130.6 total plays run: the 4th-most among all games this week.Opposing offenses have averaged 39.7 pass attempts per game versus the Chargers defense this year: 4th-most in the league.When talking about air yards, Michael Carter grades out in the towering 91st percentile among running backs this year, totaling a colossal 3.0 per game. (as a result of being targeted behind the line of scrimmage, that is much more notable than it appears since most RBs wind up with negative air yards).
