The model projects the Detroit Lions to call the 9th-most plays on offense on the slate this week with 64.8 plays, accounting for their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.The 5th-most plays in the league have been run by the Detroit Lions since the start of last season (a staggering 59.3 per game on average).This game will be played in a dome—which means no wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.While Sam LaPorta has accounted for 14.3% of his team's red zone targets in games he has played this year, the projections expect him to be much more involved in Detroit's offense near the end zone in this week's contest at 19.3%.Sam LaPorta has totaled a monstrous 39.0 air yards per game since the start of last season: 92nd percentile among tight ends.
