Who Should I Start? Diontae Johnson or Nico Collins

Tuesday, October 28, 5:33 PM

Free-agent wide receiver Diontae Johnson is working out with the New York Giants on Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Johnson was with the Cleveland Browns during training camp and the preseason, but he was cut before the start of the regular season and hasn't joined a team since. The 29-year-old former third-rounder by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019 out of Toledo spent time with the Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens, and Houston Texans last year, catching a combined 33 passes on 67 targets for 375 yards and three touchdowns. The vast majority of his production came in Carolina, as he caught just three passes for 18 yards in five games with Baltimore and Houston to close out the year. It's been a notable fall for Johnson over the last year-plus, and if he were to sign with the G-Men, he'd merely be battling for a chance to join the active 53-man roster as receiver depth.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins posted four receptions for 121 yards on eight targets during Sunday night's 20-10 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Even in a tough matchup, Collins continued his strong stretch of production in recent weeks, clearing 100 yards for the third time this season. The star wideout has gone over 90 receiving yards in four of the past five games after a somewhat slow start to the season. The 26-year-old is the clear alpha of the Texans' passing attack and remains a top-10 wide receiver in fantasy football. Collins will profile as a high-end option again in Week 15 against an Arizona Cardinals defense that just allowed Rams wideout Puka Nacua to rack up 167 yards and two touchdowns in Week 14.
