Is Nico Collins Playing In Week 10?

Last week against the Buccaneers, three Texans players went for over 100 receiving yards. Nico Collins wasn't one of them, but the third-year wideout still had a strong game, catching three of his five targets for 54 yards and a touchdown.

However, Collins won't be in line for a repeat performance on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. After showing up on the injury report on Wednesday with a calf injury, Collins was unable to get healthy in time for this game.

Nico Collins, who has caught 36 passes for 631 yards and four touchdowns through eight games this year, has been ruled out for Sunda's game.

Should I Start Robert Woods or Noah Brown for Fantasy Football Week 10?

Tank Dell is in line for a big game with Collins out, but fantasy managers already know that. The bigger question is what fantasy managers should do with Robert Woods and Noah Brown.

Last week, Brown had a huge showing against the Buccaneers, catching all six of his targets for 153 yards and a touchdown. While it's unlikely that he will repeat that performance this week, Brown was on the field for 72% of the team's snaps and should serve as the No. 2 receiver with Collins out. He's a WR3/4 option.

As for Robert Woods, the veteran hasn't played since Week 6 because of a foot injury but has been practicing. It's expected that he'll return this week. Fantasy managers should view him as the team's fourth option in the receiving game behind Dell, Brown, and tight end Dalton Schultz though, putting him in play only as a boom-or-bust flex in deep leagues.
