The predictive model expects the Chargers to run the 7th-fewest total plays among all teams this week with 62.6 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.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.While Najee Harris has received 10.5% of his offense's targets in games he has played last year, our trusted projections expect him to be a much smaller part of Los Angeles's offense in this week's game at 4.0%.Najee Harris has been one of the worst possession receivers in the league among RBs, completing a measly 76.9% of passes thrown his way (adjusted for context) last year, checking in at the 19th percentile.
