The first player, Nacua, had been with the team since 2023. He had 50 targets, caught 39 passes for 501 yards, and scored one touchdown. His passer rating was 89.5. The second player, Nabers, was a 2024 rookie who had 51 targets, 35 receptions for 386 yards, and 3 touchdowns, with a 80.4 passer rating. Comparing their performances, Nacua had more targets and yardage, while Nabers had more touchdowns. Both players demonstrated improvement from their rookie years, with Nacua's higher yardage and Nabers' better touchdown-to-target ratio.",
