Nico Collins A WR1 Even with More Options Available

Saturday, October 24, 3:24 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is still the go-to option in his team's passing game, and he brings a very high ceiling to this week's home matchup against the Giants. Collins is getting some help in the receiver room, since the team added Marvin Harrison Jr. via trade before last week's game and is looking to possibly get Tank Dell (knee) back this week as well. By his lofty standards, Collins has had back-to-back quiet games against the Titans and Jaguars and hasn't found the end zone since Week 4, when he had a huge game against Dallas. Even though C.J. Stroud is spreading the ball around a little more, Collins remains a dynamic threat that can still be a WR1, ranking as the WR9 in RotoBaller's rankings this week. The Giants have allowed seven WR touchdowns in six games and are dealing with injuries in the secondary, which should open the door for Collins to post a nice bounce-back week as a fringe top-10 receiver in Week 7.

Dontayvion Wicks Ruled Out for Week 7

Saturday, October 24, 12:18 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) has been ruled out for his team's Week 7 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. Wicks did not practice at all this week as he deals with an ankle injury. The 25-year-old has recorded 19 catches for 284 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets across six games this season and could have had a chance to be the Eagles' WR1 against Dallas. Instead, Philadelphia will be without both Wicks and star wideout DeVonta Smith (hamstring) on Monday night. The Eagles' injuries at wide receiver could open a path for rookie wideout Makai Lemon to assume a lead role in his team's passing game alongside tight end Dallas Goedert. Still, the overall health of the team's offense is a major question mark, with backup quarterback Tanner McKee set to make his second straight start in Week 7.
