TBH that high a number of targets concerns me a little.  I can understand why they want to throw his way that much, but I feel like when guys are that much of a focal point it becomes too easy for defenses to counter. 

At this point have to believe defenses are rolling coverages his way which should give others some great opportunities.

Add WDR to that and it's way off wack.

Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."

I had hoped for this by the end of game four.

Up to this point, only Dallas seemed to treat Nabers differently than your average rookie WR, and IMO that was probably more to account for absence of their 2nd-best CB than for any other reason.

But the amount of damage inflicted on opponents thus far (plus absence of typical rookie blunders) now demands implementing the sort of special game-planning usually reserved for the league's best (and I think it's more likely than not he'll prove to be in the top ten). Hopefully, after another four games he might show himself to be in the top seven.

OK, I'll bite.  What's WDR?

Exactly.  This is a total anomaly.  And I'd say also unsustainable.  We have to find some other folks to take the pressure off these guys, especially Nabers.  I hate that at the end of the Cowboys game everyone knew where the ball was going and BAM he gets injured on the play.  I'd prefer the TE position and Theo can definitely be a viable receiver.  I'd also say whatever weird personal grudges are keeping Hyatt off the field have got to be gotten over.  Slayton is just unreliable anymore.

Thanks.  I thought it was another of those new metrics.  Robinson never occurred to me.  I agree with Ed's point and an earlier thread/post I called the target imbalance out and opined that they needed to spread the ball around a little.
