Accounting for their underlying traits and game dynamics, the New York Giants are anticipated by our trusted projection set to run 66.1 plays on offense in this game: the 8th-most among all teams this week.

The leading projections forecast Justin Jefferson to earn 9.7 targets in this game, on balance, ranking him in the 96th percentile among wideouts.

In this contest, Devin Singletary is projected by the model to rank in the 79th percentile among running backs with 2.9 targets.

Negative Match Player Stats with Vikings vs Giants

The Vikings have played in the 6th-most “low wind” (4-mph or less) games in football last year, which should lead to lower pass volume, higher running volume, and reduced pass game results when facing windier weather in this week’s contest.

Given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the model projects the New York Giants to pass on 55.2% of their opportunities: the 9th-lowest frequency on the slate this week.

As it relates to protecting the quarterback (and the influence it has on all pass attack statistics), the O-line of the New York Giants ranks as the worst in the league last year.
