Pros

  • THE BLITZ projects the Los Angeles Chargers to be the 10th-most pass-oriented offense among all teams this week with a 62.4% pass rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
  • THE BLITZ projects Mike Williams to garner 9.0 targets in this week’s game, on average, ranking him in the 91st percentile among wide receivers.
  • THE BLITZ projects Mike Williams to be a more important option in his team’s air attack this week (24.5% projected Target Share) than he has been this year (19.1% in games he has played).
  • Mike Williams has accrued quite a few more air yards this season (96.0 per game) than he did last season (91.0 per game).

Cons
