Pros
- THE BLITZ projects the Eagles to run the 4th-most offensive plays among all teams this week with 63.8 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects Dallas Goedert to earn 4.7 targets in this week’s contest, on average, ranking in the 87th percentile among tight ends.
- Dallas Goedert has been an integral part of his team’s offense, garnering a Target Share of 19.3% since the start of last season, which ranks him in the 94th percentile among TEs.
- Dallas Goedert has put up a whopping 42.0 air yards per game since the start of last season: 90th percentile among TEs.
- The Philadelphia Eagles O-line grades out as the 3rd-best in the league since the start of last season in protecting the passer, which has a strong effect on all pass attack statistics across the board.
Cons
