I haven't seen the final rankings, but halfway through last season, Dalton was 2nd in deep ball yardage with 697 yards and had very good deep ball completion percentage (51.3%) and QBR (120.4). The thing though is most of his deep ball success came with AJ Green (56% of completions for 379 yards). Dalton had attempted the 6th-highest attempt percentage at that point in the season with 13.5%. This indicates that he tried a decent amount, it wasn't just a couple tries to skew the numbers.

Given time, which is a big if at this point, I think he'll be throwing a bunch of deep balls this year. And watch out for the wheel routes too. Mixon covered by a LB is an all day mismatch.
