Fantasy Football Outlook: Will Nico Collins Play Week 4?
Nico Collins (hamstring) good to go for Week 4
Nico Collins (hamstring) has been removed from Houston’s injury report and will be good to go for Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fantasy Impact
It was a bit concerning to see Collins get added to the injury report with a hamstring injury on Thursday, but he was able to log a full practice on Friday and carries no injury designation heading into the weekend. He should be near 100% on Sunday and projects to see a lot of work with Tank Dell (chest) unavailable to play against the Jaguars.

Nico Collins (hamstring) trending towards playing Sunday
Nico Collins (hamstring) is trending towards playing in Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fantasy Impact
Collins was added to the injury report on Thursday because of a hamstring injury, but he was still able to practice on Friday and is reportedly trending towards playing on Sunday. It remains to be seen what his official status will be, but this is good news for the NFL’s current leader in receiving yards.

Nico Collins (hamstring) added to injury report Thursday
Nico Collins (hamstring) has been added to the injury report and was limited at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Collins is a new addition to Houston’s injury report. He’s being listed with a hamstring injury of some kind that left him limited on Thursday, but we don’t know much about the severity of it at this point. Tank Dell (chest) has been sidelined from both practices so far this week, so fantasy managers should keep a close eye on what Houston’s wide receiver room looks like for Week 4 against the Jaguars.

What the Experts Are Saying
Even in a game where Houston was thoroughly decimated, Nico Collins still posted a decent line with 86 receiving yards. I found it interesting that the Texans targeted Collins on three straight end zone plays at the end of the game, long after the team had pulled quarterback C.J. Stroud. Although it did not pan out in this particular instance, fantasy managers will never turn down garbage-time fantasy points. Collins matches up with the Jacksonville Jaguars this week, which is great for his fantasy outlook. No team plays man coverage at a higher clip than Jacksonville, and Collins is arguably the best wideout in the NFL against man. Since last year, Collins has averaged 4.32 yards per route man versus man coverage. Nico Collins could be in for a spike week in Week 4.
