Favors Under

Zay Jones has been among the worst wideouts in the NFL at grinding out extra yardage, averaging just 3.38 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) since the start of last season while grading out in the 23rd percentile.
The Los Angeles Chargers defense has allowed the 6th-least receiving yards per game in football (just 132.0) to wide receivers since the start of last season.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have gone up against a stacked the box on a measly 11.1% of their plays since the start of last season, 3rd-least in football. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
The Los Angeles Chargers have stacked the box against opponents on just 13.8% of their plays since the start of last season, 10th-least in football. Choosing not to position an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have used motion in their offense on 33.0% of their plays since the start of last season (9th-least in the league), which usually makes an offense more predictable and less effective.
