Nico Collins Is a Strong WR1 in Week 15

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins remains the clear go-to option in the Texans' passing game, and he's in a great spot this week at home against the Arizona Cardinals. Collins hauled in four receptions on eight targets for 121 yards in last Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs, and he now has 75+receiving yards in five of his last six games. Collins is up to 916 receiving yards for the season and can get to 1,000 with a good showing this week against the Cardinals, who have allowed four wide receiver touchdowns in the last two weeks and nine on the season, while giving up 146.8 yards per week to the position. Collins is the No. 7 WR in RotoBaller's Week 15 rankings, making him a top starting option in just about all formats in this matchup this week, as he continues to be C.J. Stroud's go-to option as the Texans make their playoff push.

Nico Collins Leads Texans in Receiving in Sunday Night Win

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins posted four receptions for 121 yards on eight targets during Sunday night's 20-10 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Even in a tough matchup, Collins continued his strong stretch of production in recent weeks, clearing 100 yards for the third time this season. The star wideout has gone over 90 receiving yards in four of the past five games after a somewhat slow start to the season. The 26-year-old is the clear alpha of the Texans' passing attack and remains a top-10 wide receiver in fantasy football. Collins will profile as a high-end option again in Week 15 against an Arizona Cardinals defense that just allowed Rams wideout Puka Nacua to rack up 167 yards and two touchdowns in Week 14.

Nico Collins Is a WR1 in Sunday Night's Matchup

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins should continue to get plenty of targets as his team faces an important matchup in Week 14 against the Chiefs, as both teams try to stay in the playoff race heading into the final few weeks of the regular season. Collins has drawn at least 10 targets in five of his last six games and is up to 95 targets in 11 games this season. He has converted those looks into 57 catches for 795 yards and four touchdowns on the year, and last week, he finished with five catches for 98 yards against the Colts, while adding the first rushing touchdown of his career. Collins is one of the top options in the Texans' passing game, which has been effectively high-volume in the past few weeks. He remains a top-10 option with good upside even in a tough matchup against the Chiefs, who have been a slightly below-average matchup for receivers this season. In RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, Collins is the No. 8 wide receiver, making him still a top receiver in most leagues and a strong start in almost all formats this week.

Nico Collins Scores First Career Rushing Touchdown in Week 13

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins bounced back from his quiet game in Week 12 with a monster showing in his team's Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 26-year-old hauled in five catches for 98 yards on 10 targets and also recorded a seven-yard rushing touchdown. Collins has now hauled in 57 catches for 795 yards and four touchdowns on 95 targets across 11 games this season. Dating back to Week 7, Collins has earned double-digit targets in five out of his last six games played. He clearly has the full trust of Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, who returned in Week 13 after missing two games with a concussion. Houston has also played much better football overall in the second half of the season, as they have now won four consecutive games. Collins profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver heading into a critical Week 14 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Nico Collins a Fringe WR1 Starting QB Back in Week 13

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins had a very quiet week last week against the Bills, catching three passes for 55 yards in his team's big upset victory. He only had three targets, which was a sharp drop-off after double-digit targets in each of his previous four games. This week, he'll get starting QB C.J. Stroud back from a concussion, which raises his ceiling and gives the entire offense more upside than with Davis Mills. Collins has totaled 52 catches for just under 700 yards in 10 games, and he'll look to take advantage of a favorable matchup against the Colts, who rank in the top 10 this season in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. Collins has a very high ceiling, but Stroud could be a little rusty after three weeks off, so there are also some risk factors to consider. He's the No. 11 WR in RotoBaller's rankings for this week, making him a starter in almost all formats, even though he isn't quite a top-10 option at the position after last week's down game and with Stroud ramping back up.

Nico Collins Has a Quiet Night in Texans' Big Win

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was only targeted three times on Thursday Night, catching all three passes but finishing with only 55 yards. He was not targeted at all in the second half. Despite his down game, Collins' team was still able to pull out a huge win over the Bills, 23-19, to remain right in the middle of the playoff hunt in the AFC. The Texans have won three straight under Davis Mills, but they'll hope to get C.J. Stroud (concussion) back for next week's huge divisional road game against the Colts. If Stroud returns, Collins will have a higher ceiling, but he has gotten so much volume in the rest of his games this season that he should be poised for a bounce-back performance next week, regardless of who is under center.

Nico Collins a Top-10 Receiver Even With a Backup Quarterback

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has at least seven catches in each of his last three games and is coming off a big game last week against the Titans. He had nine catches on 10 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown, while working with Davis Mills since C.J. Stroud (concussion) is still sidelined. Stroud will be absent for a third straight week when the Texans host the Bills on Thursday Night Football, but Collins continues to get plenty of volume, drawing double-digit targets in each of his four games since the team's Week 6 Bye Week. Since he brings big play potential and also gets consistent work, Collins is ranked as the No. 7 WR in RotoBaller's ranking in a neutral matchup against Buffalo.

Nico Collins Listed as Full Participant in Practice

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (ankle) should be ready to play on Thursday against the Buffalo Bills after he was listed as a full practice participant on Tuesday. Collins opened the week on Monday listed as limited on the estimated report with a new ankle injury, but it doesn't appear to be serious enough to slow him down going into Week 12 despite the quick turnaround. Even though starting quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) will miss his third straight game this week, fantasy managers should not hesitate to start the 26-year-old pass-catcher against Buffalo. Collins has been a top-10 fantasy wideout in terms of half-PPR points per game (12.6) through 11 weeks of the season as Houston's clear WR1. And he's actually been better the last two weeks with Davis Mills running the offense, catching 16 of 25 targets for 228 yards and one touchdown.

Nico Collins Listed as Limited on Monday

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report, according to DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN. It's a new injury for Collins, but he didn't appear to be hurt in the team's Week 11 win over the Tennessee Titans. The 26-year-old caught a season-high nine passes on 10 targets for 92 yards and his fourth touchdown of the year in the 16-13 victory. Starting quarterback C.J. Stroud has missed the last two games with a concussion, but it hasn't slowed Collins down, as he now has 16 receptions on 25 targets for 228 yards and a touchdown the last two weeks with Davis Mills running the offense. As long as Collins can suit up on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills in Week 12, he should remain in all starting fantasy lineups. He is the WR11 with 12.6 half-PPR points per game in 2025.

Nico Collins Hauls in Texans Lone Touchdown Sunday

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins caught nine of his 10 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Tennessee Titans. Collins paced the team in all major receiving categories, building on an equally impressive performance from back in Week 10. The Texans' top receiver has strung together three impressive games in a row, amassing at least 10 targets, seven receptions, and 14.5 fantasy points (PPR) in each of those contests. He ranks as a top-24 fantasy receiver this season, but his latest hot streak has him teetering on the edge of the WR1 tier for a Week 12 contest against the Buffalo Bills that will likely require C.J. Stroud (concussion) to throw a lot.
