Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Nico Collins

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown converted his lone target into an eight-yard reception during Thursday's season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. It was an uncharacteristically quiet day for the veteran receiver, as he wasn't targeted until the Eagles' final offensive drive of the game. There's no question that he is still the alpha receiver in Philadelphia, so this seems to be a mere blip from which he should be able to bounce back. He'll have a chance to get redemption during Week 2 in a potential shootout against the reigning AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins said he envisions a big year for the team's wide receiver corps, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston. As in prior years, the Michigan product is the team's No. 1 option, but the cast around him has changed significantly. Tank Dell (knee) suffered a gruesome injury in last year's playoffs, while Stefon Diggs signed with New England. In response, Houston drafted a pair of Iowa State rookies, Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, and also signed Christian Kirk. The emergence of any would be a significant help to Collins, who has proven be a steady fantasy WR1 when healthy.
