Who Should I Start? Nico Collins or Garrett Wilson

Saturday, October 18, 5:40 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins remains the go-to option for the Texans, and he remains a strong starter in all formats as the Texans come back from their bye week and visit the Seahawks as the late game on Monday night. Collins has found the end zone in three of his last four games and has at least four catches in each of his last three games. He had 52 yards and a touchdown in Week 5 before the bye week as the Texans thrashed the Ravens, 44-10. Since the game wasn't competitive, he wasn't quite as involved late, but he is still one of the most consistent top receivers in the game. With Christian Kirk (hamstring) out for Monday night's game, Collins has a very high ceiling as a starting WR1 in his road matchup against Seattle, which has been a slightly favorable matchup for receivers this season.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee), who was listed as doubtful for Week 7 against the visiting Carolina Panthers, has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game. Wilson suffered a hyperextended knee in last week's loss in London to the Denver Broncos and was unable to practice all week. There is some optimism that Wilson will only have to miss one game, but it's unclear if he'll be in play to return for a Week 8 tilt next Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Wilson has been the team's clear WR1 through six weeks, so they'll have to adjust and use Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Arian Smith, and Isaiah Williams if they want to win their first game of the year against Carolina. Rookie tight end Mason Taylor could easily lead the Jets in targets this week with Wilson out. It's hard to recommend Reynolds or anyone else on Sunday for a flex spot in fantasy in what has been a bad Jets passing offense this year.
