- Amon-Ra St. Brown has put up many more adjusted receiving yards per game (92.0) this year than he did last year (77.0).
- The Broncos pass defense has exhibited bad efficiency vs. WRs this year, surrendering 8.88 adjusted yards-per-target to the position: the 7th-most in the league.
Cons
- This week’s line suggests a running game script for the Lions, who are favored by 4.5 points.
- The projections expect the Lions to be the 7th-least pass-heavy offense in the NFL (adjusted for context) right now with a 58.5% pass rate.
- The projections expect this game to have the 2nd-lowest volume of plays run on the slate this week at 124.1 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
