News: 1 day agoCollins caught seven of eight targets for 118 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-30 loss to the Cowboys.
Spin: Making his return from a two-game absence due to a hamstring strain, Collins led the Texans in catches, targets and scrimmage yards while hauling in C.J. Stroud's only two TD passes of the day. While Houston is a disastrous 0-4 to start the season, the offense has scored 61 points in the two games Collins has been active for and just 23 in the two games he missed. The star wideout will look to come up big again in Week 5 on the road in Tennessee.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Collins heads into his sixth NFL campaign yet to play a full 17-game season, but having been very productive when on the field. The 2021 third-round pick has cleared 1,000 yards and scored either seven or eight touchdowns each of the past three seasons, finishing in the top 10 in fantasy PPG and top 12 in yards per route run in all three. A force near the goal line, Collins ranked fourth among receivers with 13 end zone targets in 2025. The 27-year-old's target share doesn't stack up with other top receivers (he has never cleared 24.4%), but his high-end efficiency is just enough to keep him in the back-end WR1 mix.
