Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Nico Collins

Saturday, October 4, 6:07 AM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has seen his production dip in recent weeks, as younger playmakers in the offense continue to carve out larger roles. In Week 4 against the Bears, Meyers caught just four of seven targets for 30 yards, with his longest reception going for only 10 yards. The outing marked his third consecutive game with declining yardage totals, raising concerns about his ceiling moving forward. Despite those struggles, Meyers still led the team in targets last week, showing he remains a trusted option for Geno Smith in the passing game. While the lack of big plays limits his upside, his steady volume keeps him relevant as a flex play, particularly in PPR formats. Fantasy managers should view Meyers as a safe but low-ceiling option heading into Week 5.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins didn't find the end zone in last week's win over the Titans, but he still tied for the team lead with six targets, finishing with four catches for a team-high 79 receiving yards. He remains the go-to option for C.J. Stroud, and the duo will look to connect early and often while trying to get a second straight win this week against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens are banged up and have struggled on defense so far this season. They have given up the third-most fantasy points in the NFL to wide receivers, including three wide receiver scores last week against the Chiefs. The Texans' offense scuffled early this season, but Collins could help them continue to find their stride this week. He's the WR7 this week in RotoBaller's rankings and remains a strong top-line receiver to start every week in standard formats.
