- Darren Waller has totaled a staggering 63.0 air yards per game since the start of last season: 97th percentile among tight ends.

- The Seattle Seahawks defense has conceded the most receiving yards per game in the NFL (71.0) to tight ends since the start of last season.
Cons

- Our trusted projections expect this game to have the lowest volume of plays run out of all the games this week at 127.6 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- The New York Giants O-line grades out as the worst in football since the start of last season in protecting the QB, which has a harmful effect on all air attack statistics across the board.
- Darren Waller’s sure-handedness have worsened this year, with his Completion% decreasing from 68.2% to 61.4%.
- Darren Waller’s pass-game effectiveness has declined this year, notching just 7.30 yards-per-target vs a 9.78 figure last year.
