Back in the lineup after a prolonged absence, Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is once again a top fantasy option as his team takes on the Tennessee Titans in Week 12.

Tank Dell Faces Tough Matchup Against Titans

The Tennessee Titans present a difficult matchup for Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell in their first meeting of the season in Week 12.

That presents a complicated decision for […]

Dalton Schultz Off Starting Radar In Week 12

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz will face the struggling Tennessee Titans in Week 12, though that's not good news for a mid-tier fantasy player at his position.

Eagles Mulling Saquon Barkley’s Goal-Line Work

Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni on Monday said running back Saquon Barkley losing out on touches near the goal line is something "you always think about."

Nico Collins Held To Four Catches Against Dallas

The Houston Texans saw top wide receiver Nico Collins haul in four passes for 54 yards on seven targets during a 34-10 victory at Dallas.

C.J. Stroud Back In QB1 Range Against Dallas

After a challenging past month, Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud meets the struggling Dallas Cowboys at a great time.
