Pros
- The New York Giants will be rolling out backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor in this week’s game, which generally means fewer pass attempts and more rush attempts.
- This week’s line suggests a passing game script for the Giants, who are -3-point underdogs.
- The 9th-highest number of plays in the NFL have been called by the Giants this year (a whopping 61.4 per game on average).
- Wan’Dale Robinson’s 85.5% Adjusted Catch% this season represents a noteworthy growth in his receiving skills over last season’s 77.9% mark.
Cons
- Given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Giants to pass on 52.9% of their plays: the 4th-lowest frequency on the slate this week.
- The projections expect this game to have the 11th-most sluggish pace on the slate this week, averaging 26.80 seconds per play given the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- After accruing 30.0 air yards per game last season, Wan’Dale Robinson has gotten worse this season, currently averaging 18.0 per game.
- When it comes to pass protection (and the impact it has on all passing offense stats), the O-line of the New York Giants ranks as the worst in the NFL this year.
- This year, the fierce New York Jets defense has given up a meager 122.0 adjusted receiving yards per game versus opposing WRs: the 3rd-best in the NFL.
