BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is a strong fantasy WR2 play heading into Sunday's meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Texans will be without wide receiver Noah Brown again this week because of a knee issue. Last week with Brown out of the lineup, Nico Collins saw his most targets since way back in Week 1, with quarterback C.J. Stroud looking his way 11 times in the contest. Collins hauled in seven of those for 65 yards.
While he lacks the explosive upside of fellow wideout Tank Dell, Collins is a candidate to see double-digit targets again this week against Jacksonville. Because of that, fantasy managers should view him as a strong WR2 option with plenty of upside.
The only real concern I have is that Collins struggled against this Jags team back in September, as he was targeted just three times in the 37-17 Texans victory. He caught two of those passes for 34 yards. Still, Houston's offense has changed since then and the Jaguars will have to defend against more than Collins in the passing game, so I expect a stronger performance this time out.
