Nico Collins

Despite being held to three catches, Collins came through for fantasy managers. On the opening drive, he took a 51-yard reception to the house, and later scored in garbage time to finish with 85 yards and two scores on the day. The Texans have been rolling, and with their elite defense, as long as Stroud continues to play turnover-free ball, they could make a run. On offense, they rely heavily on Collins and some semblance of running game. With three straght weeks finising as the WR14 or better, Collins now faces an abysmal Raiders secondary. The only concern is that the Texans' defense will swarm the Raiders' offense. In fact, the Texans' defense could probably win this game without their offense taking a single snap. As a result, there is a world where targets are at a premium once again. However, if they need to move the chains, Collins will be the g- to target.

Nico Collins caught three of four targets for 85 yards and two scores in the Texans' 40-20 win over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Collins didn't get a lot of volume in this game, but he made what he got count with two touchdowns. He's had at least 92 yards and/or a touchdown in four of his last five games and is a WR1 for the fantasy playoffs.
