Nico Collins Is a Top-10 WR in Week 1

Friday, September 11, 5:33 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is lined up for a heavy workload in Week 1, and he's a great option to get in fantasy lineups against the Buffalo Bills. Collins has posted three straight seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards, even though he has missed games each year. Last season, he racked up 1,117 yards and six touchdowns during the regular season as C.J. Stroud's top target. This year, Houston lost its second receiver, Jayden Higgins (knee), for the season to a preseason injury, and that could leave even more targets and opportunities for Collins. Stroud will be looking to bounce back after the rough end to last season, and if he's effective, he'll lean heavily on Collins. Against the Bills, Collins is a low-end WR1, checking in as RotoBaller's No. 7 WR in the PPR rankings for Week 1.

Carnell Tate is Underwhelming in NFL Debut

Sunday, September 13, 6:54 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate made his NFL debut against the New York Jets on Sunday. There was plenty of hype surrounding this debut after Tate was selected fourth overall during this year's draft. Tate didn't give fantasy managers a ton to be happy about on Sunday. The rookie wideout hauled in four of his six targets for 38 yards in the loss. The good news is that Tate finished tied for the team lead in receiving yards and targets with Wan'Dale Robinson. The entire Titans offense struggled to move the ball, and that could be a season-long theme. The hope is that things will get better for Tate once he builds more chemistry with quarterback Cam Ward. Fantasy managers should consider Tate a low-end WR3 for the Week 2 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
