Pros
- The Minnesota Vikings may take to the air less in this week’s game (and call more carries) since they be rolling with backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs.
- The leading projections forecast the Vikings as the 7th-most pass-heavy team among all teams this week with a 60.7% pass rate, given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics.
- In this week’s contest, Joshua Dobbs is projected by our trusted projection set to average the 4th-most pass attempts among all quarterbacks with 36.2.
- The Minnesota offensive line grades out as the 3rd-best in football this year in protecting the QB, which has a strong effect on all air attack metrics across the board.
- The Broncos pass defense has shown poor efficiency this year, conceding 8.59 adjusted yards-per-target: the most in the NFL.
Cons
- Opposing quarterbacks teams have been hesitant to lean on the pass against the Broncos, averaging the 9th-fewest attempts in the NFL (just 33.8 per game) this year.
- With a lousy tally of 159.0 adjusted passing yards per game (16th percentile), Joshua Dobbs rates as one of the bottom QBs in the NFL this year.
- With a bad 62.3% Adjusted Completion% (24th percentile) this year, Joshua Dobbs places among the least accurate passers in football.
- Joshua Dobbs ranks as one of the worst per-play passers in the NFL this year, averaging just 5.97 adjusted yards-per-target while checking in at the lowly 9th percentile.
