The Los Angeles Rams will be forced to start backup QB Baker Mayfield in this week's game, which generally means fewer pass attempts and more rushing.The Rams are an enormous 7.5-point underdog this week, likely creating an extreme passing game script.The weatherman calls for 0-mph wind in this game. Low wind typically means higher pass volume, higher touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.Opposing teams have averaged 36.6 pass attempts per game versus the Denver Broncos defense this year: 10th-most in football.THE BLITZ projects Van Jefferson to be much more involved in his team's passing offense this week (19.0% projected Target Share) than he has been this year (13.5% in games he has played).
