The Browns may throw the ball less in this week’s game (and call more rushes) since they be starting backup quarterback Joe Flacco.
Our trusted projections expect this game to have the 3rd-largest volume of plays run out of all the games this week at 132.5 plays, based on the play styles of each team and game dynamics.
The highest number of plays in the NFL have been run by the Cleveland Browns this year (a massive 66.3 per game on average).
The Jaguars defense has been a bit of pass funnel this year, enticing opposing QBs to attempt the 7th-most passes in football (38.5 per game) this year.
The projections expect Amari Cooper to accumulate 7.8 targets in this week’s game, on balance, putting him in the 84th percentile when it comes to wide receivers.
Cons
Our trusted projections expect the Browns as the 6th-least pass-centric team among all teams this week with a 53.0% pass rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
As it relates to cornerbacks in covering receivers, Jacksonville’s collection of CBs has been exceptional this year, grading out as the 6th-best in football.
