HOU WR Nico Collins - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Nico Collins continues his up-and-down campaign by recording just 30 yards against the Panthers, his third game in the last five with less than 40 yards receiving. C.J. Stroud cooled off a bit over the past few weeks, so that has played a factor for Collins recently. That said, Collins has a good matchup this week. The Buccaneers are averaging the fifth-most passing yards allowed this season at 256. If there’s a week for Collins to bounce back, maybe even explode like he did earlier this season, this is the week to do it. It’s a gamble, but Collins has upside this week.

HOU WR Nico Collins - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Carolina Panthers

Nico Collins has certainly been up and down throughout the season, his high point being Week 4 with 168 yards and two touchdowns against the Steelers. He gets a favorable matchup against the Panthers’ secondary. He had 80 yards against the Saints, so perhaps the momentum is shifting back in Collins’ favor. He’s worth consideration as your flex or even your WR2 this week. He’s arguably a top-20 option.

HOU WR Nico Collins - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. New Orleans Saints

It’s been an interesting roller coaster, numbers wise, for Nico Collins this season. He has been going back and forth between big games and quiet games. So if the pattern continues, he should have a big game this week. That said, he does face one of the better defenses in the league in New Orleans, so Collins could be a coin flip this week. That said, Collins still makes for a worth flex option.

HOU WR Nico Collins - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Atlanta Falcons

Nico Collins bounced back in a big way from his quiet Week 3 to the tune of 168 yards on seven catches with two touchdowns in Houston's big win over the Steelers. Houston's offense actually looks good thanks to the great play so far of quarterback C.J. Stroud. That has made Nico Collins a nice fantasy option almost out of nowhere, though Collins was a good receiver coming out of Michigan. Go ahead and keep him in your lineups this week against the Falcons. He's become a legit WR option, even a borderline WR1.

HOU WR Nico Collins - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Week 3 was certainly disappointing for those hoping to ride the hot hand of Nico Collins. Still, he’s the WR1 in Houston and he’ll quickly catch back on with C.J. Stroud. He does have a tough matchup this week against the strong Steelers defense that could rock Stroud a little bit, so it’s understandable if you want to be cautious with Collins this week in case T.J. Watt makes life miserable for Stroud on Sunday.

HOU WR Nico Collins - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Jacksonville Jaguars

Nico Collins is looking like a legit WR1 and has really helped ease the transition to the NFL for C.J. Stroud. He's already up to 226 yards on 13 catches through two games. Because of the limitations of the offense, Collins is a borderline WR2 weekly, but he is already beaming with upside. Houston may be playing from behind again against the Jaguars, so Collins will directly benefit as a result.

HOU WR Nico Collins - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Nico Collins wasted no time becoming the best friend in the passing game for rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. Collins saw 11 targets and had six catches for 80 yards. Houston's offense is still one that's not exactly on fire but Collins is at least worth Flex consideration this week. At the very least, he's a "wait-and-see" option.
