Key Match Player Stats to this Game

The Browns may throw the ball less in this week’s game (and call more carries) since they be forced to use backup QB Jameis Winston.

The model projects the Browns as the 3rd-most pass-heavy offense on the slate this week with a 63.5% pass rate, based on their underlying traits and matchup dynamics.

Given the game dynamics and the underlying play styles of each team, this contest is forecasted by the projection model to have 133.9 total plays run: the 2nd-highest number among all games this week.

The 4th-most plays in football have been run by the Browns this year (a monstrous 60.9 per game on average).

Jameis Winston’s 87.0 adjusted passing yards per game this year indicates a remarkable gain in his passing proficiency over last year’s 45.0 figure.

The Chargers pass defense has allowed the 10th-highest Adjusted Completion% in the league (68.1%) versus wideouts this year (68.1%).

Our trusted projections expect David Njoku to notch 8.2 targets in this week’s game, on average, ranking him in the 96th percentile among TEs.

Our trusted projections expect Nick Chubb to accumulate 13.7 rush attempts in this contest, on balance, placing him in the 78th percentile among running backs.

Nick Chubb has been much more involved in his team’s ground game this season (62.8% Carry Share in games he has played) than he was last season (41.8%).

The Los Angeles defensive ends project as the 8th-worst DE corps in football this year in regard to run defense.
