Nico Collins Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Nico Collins Fantasy Football Outlook
Collins is anticipated to make his comeback Week 10, when the Texans face off against the Lions. His return will provide an instant boost to the Texans' receiving corps, as he aims to continue as the WR1 for his team.
Star wide receiver Stefon Diggs has also recently suffered an injury to his knee which will keep him out for a while which could increase the amount of targets Collins receives when he returns.
Once Collins returns, fantasy managers can continue to start him comfortably and the wideout can be viewed as a WR1 for the remainder of the season.
