Opposing teams have averaged 35.4 pass attempts per game vs. the Denver Broncos defense this year: 8th-most in the NFL.

The leading projections forecast Kyle Pitts to accumulate 5.5 targets in this week’s contest, on average, putting him in the 90th percentile when it comes to TEs.

With an exceptional 39.0 adjusted yards per game on passes (82nd percentile) this year, Kyle Pitts rates as one of the top pass-game tight ends in the league.

Drake London has been a more integral piece of his offense’s pass attack this year (29.0% Target Share in games he has played) than he was last year (23.3%).

Drake London’s 73.0 adjusted yards per game through the air this year represents a meaningful progression in his pass-catching prowess over last year’s 58.0 mark.

In this week’s game, Bijan Robinson is anticipated by the projection model to rank in the 87th percentile among running backs with 16.1 rush attempts.

Bijan Robinson has been much more involved in his team’s rushing attack this year (62.0% Carry Share in games he has played) than he was last year (41.7%).

In this game, Courtland Sutton is expected by the projection model to finish in the 93rd percentile among wide receivers with 8.3 targets.

Courtland Sutton has posted significantly more air yards this year (92.0 per game) than he did last year (76.0 per game).

Courtland Sutton’s 62.8 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced metric that assesses high-value offensive usage) ranks among the best in the NFL: 92nd percentile for wideouts.
