From the video
Nico Collins had only two catches for six yards his target share was 31% and it went down to 21% then 16% and this week 18%... Deontay Banks had that man in jail today... look at the Texans onoff splits without Nico Collins. I think he might actually be the most valuable player in the NFL right now or at least heading into the week by EPA per play when on the field versus when off the field.
STACKED’s take
Target share collapsing (31%→18%) but elite EPA on/off splits show critical value
Target share has collapsed from 31% to 21% to 16% to 18% over recent weeks despite being considered a top-five to top-seven receiver by film and analytics analysts. In Week 7, he had only two catches for six yards; Deontay Banks locked him down despite not being an elite corner, raising long-term concerns and potentially signaling a trade away from Houston's crowded receiver room that includes Jaden Higgins (returning from ACL), Xavier Hutchinson, Marvin Harrison Jr., Kahlen Bouty, and Tank Dell. However, the source also identifies Collins as potentially the most valuable player in the NFL by EPA per play when on the field versus off the field, highlighting his outsized impact on the Texans offense; the Texans' on-off splits without Collins demonstrate his critical role despite playing in the worst wide receiver room in the NFL.
