Who Should I Start? Elijah Moore or Nico Collins

Wednesday, November 26, 12:12 PM

The Buffalo Bills released veteran wide receiver Elijah Moore on Wednesday after signing veteran receiver Brandin Cooks on Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Moore failed to capitalize with Buffalo despite second-year wideout Keon Coleman being a healthy scratch the last two games for disciplinary reasons, and now he'll be searching for a new team to close out the 2025 season. The 25-year-old former second-round pick of the New York Jets in 2021 out of Mississippi was a non-factor in fantasy football in his nine games in Buffalo, catching only nine passes on 17 targets for 112 yards and no touchdowns. Cooks, 32, caught 19 of his 25 targets for 165 yards and no scores in 10 games with the New Orleans Saints before joining Buffalo. He'll provide the Bills' struggling offense with an experienced deep threat to help stretch the field.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins had a very quiet week last week against the Bills, catching three passes for 55 yards in his team's big upset victory. He only had three targets, which was a sharp drop-off after double-digit targets in each of his previous four games. This week, he'll get starting QB C.J. Stroud back from a concussion, which raises his ceiling and gives the entire offense more upside than with Davis Mills. Collins has totaled 52 catches for just under 700 yards in 10 games, and he'll look to take advantage of a favorable matchup against the Colts, who rank in the top 10 this season in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. Collins has a very high ceiling, but Stroud could be a little rusty after three weeks off, so there are also some risk factors to consider. He's the No. 11 WR in RotoBaller's rankings for this week, making him a starter in almost all formats, even though he isn't quite a top-10 option at the position after last week's down game and with Stroud ramping back up.
