Should I Start Nico Collins?

Saturday, November 14, 3:54 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has had a few quiet games lately, but he remains a starting option in most standard-sized leagues as the Texans visit the Browns this week. Collins had four catches on four targets for 55 yards and his fourth touchdown of the season last week against the Chargers. It was a nice bounce-back to over 15 PPR fantasy points after only catching two passes for six yards in his team's loss to the Giants. His overall output has been inconsistent from week to week as C.J. Stroud has spread the ball to a variety of targets. Collins still has big-play upside and is one of the top options in the team's passing game, so he still makes sense to start in most formats against the Browns. The Browns have allowed seven wide receiver touchdowns this season, but zero in the last four weeks. Last week, the Saints receivers had a solid 197 receiving yards against the Browns, so there should be space available for Collins this week. He is RotoBaller's No. 15 WR this week, and he can be a solid WR2, even though he hasn't been living up to the elite receiver status that he has had the last few seasons.
