From the article

Only 11 wideouts have more air yards than Hurst this season despite the rookie running a route on just 67 percent of Tampa's dropbacks. He's gobbling up air yards in a pass-first offense, and came terribly close to coming down with a deep ball that would have catapulted the Bucs past the Browns in Week 2. Hurst's 38 percent air yards share led all Tampa pass catchers in Week 2. He ranked sixth among all wideouts in air yards last Sunday.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Hurst's 38% air yards share and sixth-ranked weekly air yards show breakout potential.

Hurst, a rookie, has more air yards than all but 11 wideouts this season despite running a route on just 67 percent of Tampa's dropbacks; he's gobbling up air yards in a pass-first offense, had 38 percent air yards share in Week 2 (led all Tampa pass catchers), ranked sixth among all wideouts in air yards last Sunday, and came terribly close to a deep ball that would have catapulted the Bucs past the Browns; a slightly higher route rate and continued downfield chances could make him a weekly matchup flipper.
