From the article

Patrick Mahomes had an extremely low average depth of throw at just 4.6 yards. This ranked 30th in the league and is significantly below his career average of 8.0...They won't have the same concerns with an Indianapolis defensive line that is middle of the pack at best. I expect more passing, especially downfield, in this game.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Mahomes' low Week 1 depth of throw suggests upside vs. Colts' weaker pass rush.

Jonathan Fuller targets Patrick Mahomes higher than 217.5 passing yards in Week 2 vs. Indianapolis. Fuller notes Mahomes had an extremely low average depth of throw of 4.6 yards (30th in league, well below his 8.0 career average) and a 12% scramble rate in Week 1 against Denver, suggesting Kansas City game-planned to neutralize Denver's pass rush. Against Indianapolis's middle-of-the-pack defensive line, Fuller expects more passing and downfield throws. A closer game script should also push Kansas City to more pass attempts. Fantasy Life projections have Mahomes for 226.5 passing yards, providing a reasonable edge over the Underdog line.
