Who Should I Start? Jamaal Williams or Nico Collins

Monday, August 11, 12:00 PM

Free-agent running back Jamaal Williams is scheduled to work out for the Miami Dolphins on Monday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Williams worked out for the Chicago Bears on Saturday, so he could be getting close to signing with a team for the 2025 season. The 30-year-old played in 14 games for the New Orleans Saints in 2024, rushing for 164 yards and one touchdown on 48 carries. He's a complementary piece at this point, but Williams has been an effective goal-line and short-yardage player at certain times in his career. Miami has Jaylen Wright, Alexander Mattison, and Ollie Gordon II as the leading candidates for the RB2 role behind De'Von Achane. However, Mattison (neck/shoulder) left the team's first preseason game early with neck and shoulder soreness, so Williams could be brought in as a veteran replacement.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins caught three of nine targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in a 20-19 loss against Tampa Bay on Monday night. Collins finished Houston's first drive with a beautiful catch on a fade ball for a 29-yard touchdown. It was an otherwise frustrating night for the star receiver, catching only two of his next eight targets for 23 yards. The Houston offense ran only 46 plays in the game, which limited the production of everyone, but Collins and Stroud were consistently just off on a couple of occasions. He demanded 39% of the team's targets, including three end zone targets, so better days should be ahead for Collins. He draws a matchup against a Jacksonville defense that just allowed Ja'Ja'Marrr Chase to go for 165 yards and a touchdown in Week 2. He could be seen as a buy-low in trades this week.
