From the episode

Kyron Williams, 4.92, which he's sixth in routes overall, 4.92 air yards per target. That's crazy high. Again, I know that doesn't seem like much, but at the running back position, again, among guys that have double digit targets. Number two is Devon Achan, 2.4.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Williams' 4.92 air yards per target is double any other RB; elite downfield receiving deployment.

Kyron Williams is being deployed as a pass-catching weapon with abnormally high downfield usage; he has 4.92 air yards per target (sixth among all routes), double the second-place running back (Devon Achane at 2.4), and is receiving 10 non-checkdown targets at 5.1 air yards per target versus only 2 checkdown targets at 2.5 air yards per target, indicating intentional design rather than dump-offs.
