Nico Collins Week 16 Outlook - Texans at Chiefs

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Dec 19th 2024, 9:50am EST

Nico Collins continued his extreme home and road splits in the touchdown department. While he scored twice, Collins finished with just 17 yards on four catches. Though Collins would be hard-pressed to score multiple touchdowns in Week 16, he should see an increase in targets, yards, and receptions. The Kansas City Chiefs have allowed the fewest scrimmage yards to opposing running backs in the NFL. That may cause Houston to pivot to the pass. If and when they do, Collins should be the primary target. The Chiefs bring a lot of pressure and tend to play man coverage on the back end. Collins has a 30.4 target share and averages 3.15 yards per route run versus man coverage. He should reward fantasy managers with a couple of big plays on Saturday.
