Pros
- The predictive model expects this game to see the 4th-highest number of plays run among all games this week at 131.6 plays, given the traits of each team and game dynamics.
- The predictive model expects Breece Hall to accrue 13.9 carries this week, on average, putting him in the 76th percentile among running backs.
- Breece Hall has received 56.5% of his offense’s run game usage this year, placing him in the 89th percentile among running backs.
Cons
- The New York Jets may rely on the pass game less in this week’s contest (and call more carries) because they be forced to use backup QB Tim Boyle.
- The New York Jets have a new play-caller this season in offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, and our trusted projections expect their pass/run mix to lean 1.8% more towards passing than it did last season (adjusted for context).
- The projections expect the New York Jets to be the 7th-least run-focused team among all teams this week with a 40.2% run rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- The New York Jets have called the 6th-fewest plays in the NFL this year, averaging a measly 54.9 plays per game.
- Breece Hall has run for quite a few less adjusted yards per game (49.0) this season than he did last season (66.0).
