The Philadelphia Eagles feature a new play-caller this season in offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, and the model projects their pass/run mix to lean 2.4% more towards passing than it did last season (in a neutral context).The projections expect the Eagles to run the 8th-most plays on offense on the slate this week with 65.2 plays, accounting for their underlying play style and game dynamics.The Eagles have run the 5th-most plays in the NFL since the start of last season, totaling a whopping 59.5 plays per game.In this contest, Saquon Barkley is expected by the predictive model to rank in the 89th percentile among running backs with 3.6 targets.Saquon Barkley has notched a monstrous 6.0 air yards per game since the start of last season: 97th percentile among RBs. (That may not sound like a lot, but most RBs wind up with negative air yards because they are often targeted behind the line of scrimmage).
