The Eagles will be forced to start backup quarterback Tanner McKee in this week's contest, which typically means fewer pass attempts and more rush attempts.Given the game dynamics and the underlying approaches of each team, this contest is forecasted by our trusted projection set to see only 127.6 total plays run: the 3rd-lowest number out of all the games this week.The San Francisco 49ers defense has been a well-known pass funnel this year, compelling opposing teams to attempt the 8th-most passes in the league (34.1 per game) this year.Saquon Barkley has totaled a colossal 2.0 air yards per game this year: 90th percentile when it comes to RBs. (That may not sound like a lot, but most RBs wind up with negative air yards considering most of their targets come behind the line of scrimmage).Saquon Barkley slots into the 92nd percentile for running back WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced metric that calculates high-value offensive volume) with a colossal 17.9 figure this year.
