The predictive model expects the Los Angeles Chargers offensive approach to tilt 2.1% more towards the ground game than it did last season (adjusted for context) with offensive coordinator Kellen Moore now calling the plays.With a 4.5-point advantage, the Chargers are favored in this week's game, implying more of an emphasis on running than their typical game plan.With a weak 56.9% Adjusted Catch Rate (13th percentile) this year, Quentin Johnston rates as one of the most unreliable receivers in the league when it comes to wideouts.With a feeble 5.7 adjusted yards per target (5th percentile) this year, Quentin Johnston places as one of the weakest pass-catching WRs in the league.The New England Patriots pass defense has performed very well when opposing WRs have gotten into space, yielding an average of 3.64 yards-after-the-catch this year: the 9th-fewest in the NFL.
