Who Should I Start? Nico Collins or Kenneth Walker III

Saturday, October 4, 10:05 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins didn't find the end zone in last week's win over the Titans, but he still tied for the team lead with six targets, finishing with four catches for a team-high 79 receiving yards. He remains the go-to option for C.J. Stroud, and the duo will look to connect early and often while trying to get a second straight win this week against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens are banged up and have struggled on defense so far this season. They have given up the third-most fantasy points in the NFL to wide receivers, including three wide receiver scores last week against the Chiefs. The Texans' offense scuffled early this season, but Collins could help them continue to find their stride this week. He's the WR7 this week in RotoBaller's rankings and remains a strong top-line receiver to start every week in standard formats.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III will look to continue his efficient running in Week 5. Walker will have a tough task ahead of him as the Seahawks will host a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team allowing less than three yards per carry to opposing running backs. Additionally, the Seahawks are deploying a running back committee with Walker and Zach Charbonnet. Both players are taking opportunities from the other. Walker's saving grace is his pass-catching and big-play ability. He is not receiving goal line opportunities, which suggests that he will need to score between the 20s. You may feel compelled to start Walker in Week 5, but he is not a smash play by any means. However, he provides a decent fantasy floor this week and can be deployed as a low-end RB2.
