From the article

Simpson's average depth of target (ADOT) came to 5.3 yards on 25 passes. That is overly conservative by NFL standards. Still, it's significantly higher Bennett's metric from the same game (although he was in for only two drives) of 3.2 yards.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Simpson's 5.3-yard ADOT was conservative but outpaced Bennett; excelled on intermediate throws.

Simpson's average depth of target (ADOT) was 5.3 yards on 25 passes, which is overly conservative by NFL standards. However, the source notes this was significantly higher than Stetson Bennett's 3.2 yards ADOT in the same game, and context matters: Simpson made two throws behind the line of scrimmage that skewed the average on a small sample size. On intermediate throws (10-19 yards), Simpson completed all six attempts for 108 yards with an elite PFF grade of 92.1 and 14.7 yards average depth.
