Nico Collins

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.

Nico Collins found the end zone twice in Week 15, catching four of six targets for 17 yards and two touchdowns in a 20-12 win over the Miami Dolphins. Despite the low yardage total, which was his lowest of the season, Collins salvaged his fantasy day with the two scores.

Fantasy Impact

While Collins' Week 15 performance wasn't flashy in terms of yardage, the two touchdowns provided a solid fantasy output. He has now scored in three of his last four games. He faces a challenging matchup in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
