Malik Nabers has accounted for 30% of the team's targets all season, and that didn't change once McCarthy replaced Jameis Winston (31.6% target rate in Q4 of Week 6). However, with the level of rapport required to move an offense against Houston's defense consistently, we should lower our expectations for Nabers in Week 7.

Nabers' 30% target share provides floor, but McCarthy's development and Houston's defense warrant lowered Week 7 expecta

Nabers has accounted for 30% of the team's targets all season, a rate that held steady (31.6% target rate in Q4) when J.J. McCarthy replaced Jameis Winston in Week 6. However, the source expresses skepticism about McCarthy's development after limited success against New Orleans' light pressure (26.3%), and Houston's defense ranks 12th in pressure rate, 12th in sack rate, and 12th in QB hits per game. This level of defensive pressure and the rapport required to move an offense against Houston should lower expectations for Nabers in Week 7, though his high target share provides a viable floor.
