That was a very bad call. He didn't launch with his head. There might have been incidental contact of the helmets, but if that gets you ejected blockers and tacklers will start targeting the knees, which will cause significant long term damage.

This is all true, but I think the main problem with the call is the fact that the guy being blocked was actively involved in the play at the time. I'm not sure how he could possibly be a "defenseless player" while actively involved in the play, and being a "defenseless player" is a prerequisite for targeting to be called in this instance.
