NFL Week 7 Game by Game: Snap Share, Pass Rates and Injury News

Tyler Redshaw

Here is a game-by-game look at all 10 games on the Week 7 DraftKings Sunday main slate: who is on the field the most, which offenses like to throw, and the injury news that matters. Each game ends with a watch list that shows live injury status, projections and snap share, so it stays current as inactives come in.

A quick word on pass rate over expectation (PROE). It compares how often a team actually throws with how often an average team would throw in the same game situations. A positive number means the offense passes more than expected. A negative number means it leans on the run. For a defense, PROE shows how much more or less opponents throw against it.

All PROE numbers below cover the season through Week 6 and only count neutral game scripts, when the game is still competitive. Sacks and scrambles count as passes. Season snap share covers Weeks 1-6. You can compare every team on the team tendencies page.

49ers at Falcons

San Francisco is short-handed. Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel and Nick Bosa are all out, and Christian Kirk (calf) is questionable. Atlanta ruled out Brian Robinson Jr.

  • Bijan Robinson has 72% of Atlanta's rushes, and Brian Robinson Jr. is out this week.
  • Atlanta leans hard on the run at -9.2 PROE. San Francisco is at +4.2.
