Nield's target share collapse reveals a usage crisis for Winnipeg's big-money free agent.

After averaging 5.3 targets per game in the first three weeks, Nield's usage cratered to 2.8 over the next six, before rebounding to 4.8 in the last four—a clear sign the coaching staff struggled to integrate his contract value into the scheme. His recent surge (now 6 catches and 76 yards from career highs) is a direct response to that pressure.
