The projections expect the Cincinnati Bengals to be the 2nd-most pass-heavy team among all teams this week with a 66.0% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.Calm weather conditions (like the 2-mph wind being predicted in this game) generally mean increased passing efficiency, increased TD potential, increased air volume, and lower ground volume.This week, Tee Higgins is expected by the predictive model to secure a spot in the 83rd percentile when it comes to wideouts with 7.7 targets.Tee Higgins has notched quite a few more air yards this season (79.0 per game) than he did last season (71.0 per game).With a RATE1-RATE2 point surge in WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced stat that calculates high-value offensive usage) from last year to this one, Tee Higgins has been more prominently utilized in his team's passing offense.
