The projections expect the Cincinnati Bengals to be the 5th-most pass-oriented offense among all teams this week with a 62.4% pass rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.The passing offenses of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) figure to benefit from the still weather conditions (3-mph wind) being projected in this game, while ground volume may drop.In this contest, Mike Gesicki is expected by the model to find himself in the 82nd percentile when it comes to TEs with 4.5 targets.When it comes to safeties in covering pass-catchers, New England's unit has been atrocious last year, projecting as the 8th-worst in the league.
