From the article

In Week 7 against the pass-funnel Texans defense, JJ McCarthy and the Giants went ultra-run-heavy (9 percent below their expected pass rate) and still piled up 318 total air yards, the sixth most of the week. That's what happens when your QB has an average depth of target of nearly 9 yards, as McCarthy did against Houston. That, I think, should continue when the Giants return from their Week 8 bye.

McCarthy's 9-yard average depth of target drives Giants' elite air yards volume

McCarthy posted an average depth of target of nearly 9 yards against the Texans in Week 7, enabling the Giants to accumulate 318 total air yards despite running 9 percent below their expected pass rate. This deep passing profile should continue when the Giants return from their Week 8 bye, supporting sustained air yards volume.
