Who Should I Start? Nico Collins or Brian Thomas Jr.

Saturday, November 8, 5:19 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins hauled in seven of his 11 targets for 75 yards in Week 10, producing double-digit PPR points for the fifth time in his last six games. Those passes came from both C.J Stroud (concussion) and his replacement, Davis Mills, who will start in Stroud's spot on Sunday against the Jaguars. Without his usual QB, Collins brings more risk than usual, but he still brings a very high ceiling and plenty of PPR production. On the season, he has 33 catches for 414 yards and three touchdowns in seven games. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 13 wide receiver this week, making him a very strong WR2 in standard leagues, even though Stroud's absence does make him less of a "sure thing" than normal.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Houston Texans, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Thomas suffered a low-grade high-ankle sprain in Jacksonville's Week 9 win over the Raiders, where he caught three of five targets for 55 yards. There was some optimism that Thomas would be able to suit up in Week 10, but the second-year wideout was unable to practice this week and could need a week or two to fully recover. The Jaguars are running thin at the wide receiver position with Thomas out and first-round rookie Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve. Recent trade acquisition Jakobi Meyers, along with Parker Washington, are likely to lead Jacksonville's passing game in a tough matchup against a stout Houston Texans defense in Week 10.
