BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was a popular third-year breakout candidate. The former Michigan star was held back by poor quarterback production over his first two years in the league. However, he has been outstanding with C.J. Stroud under center.
Collins is the WR17 for the season, averaging 13.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He has 50 receptions on 73 targets for 800 receiving yards and five touchdowns. The third-year receiver leads the team in receptions and receiving yards. However, Collins is second in targets and receiving touchdowns behind Tank Dell.
The talented young wide receiver has been outstanding since missing the Week 10 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals with an injury. Over the past two weeks, he has 14 receptions on 20 targets for 169 receiving yards, one touchdown, and 29.9 fantasy points. Furthermore, Collins had seven receptions for 104 receiving yards last week, the third time this year that he had at least seven receptions and 100 receiving yards.
Unfortunately, he faces an elite Denver Broncos secondary on Sunday. They have held wide receivers to only 23.7 fantasy points per game, the seventh-fewest in the NFL. Despite the tough matchups, Collins is a plug-and-play WR2 this week.
