- Tyreek Hill has accrued a lot more adjusted receiving yards per game (120.0) this season than he did last season (92.0).
Cons

- The predictive model expects the Dolphins offense as the 6th-most sluggish paced team in football (context-neutralized) at the moment, averaging 29.12 seconds per snap.
- Opposing quarterbacks teams have been hesitant to test the pass defense Giants, averaging the 3rd-fewest attempts in the NFL (a lowly 29.2 per game) this year.
- Since the start of last season, the fierce Giants defense has allowed a measly 64.6% Adjusted Completion Rate to opposing WRs: the 10th-lowest rate in football.
