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.
