Who Should I Start? Ja'Marr Chase or Nico Collins

Monday, November 17, 5:30 PM

The NFL is suspending Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase for one game for unsportsmanlike conduct after he was caught on video spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey on Sunday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Barring a successful appeal of his suspension, Chase will miss the Week 12 contest on Sunday against the New England Patriots. Chase's conduct led to an altercation in which Ramsey threw punches at Chase, causing him to be ejected from the Week 11 game. The 25-year-old will now most likely miss this weekend's game against the Pats, so fantasy managers should shift him to their bench this week. Tee Higgins will operate as quarterback Joe Flacco's top target for that one and will draw the attention of Pats cornerback Christian Gonzalez. Andrei Iosivas will be the No. 2 this Sunday, making him worth flex consideration. Tight end Noah Fant will also be more attractive as a TE streamer in Week 12.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has at least seven catches in each of his last three games and is coming off a big game last week against the Titans. He had nine catches on 10 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown, while working with Davis Mills since C.J. Stroud (concussion) is still sidelined. Stroud will be absent for a third straight week when the Texans host the Bills on Thursday Night Football, but Collins continues to get plenty of volume, drawing double-digit targets in each of his four games since the team's Week 6 Bye Week. Since he brings big play potential and also gets consistent work, Collins is ranked as the No. 7 WR in RotoBaller's ranking in a neutral matchup against Buffalo.
