Nico Collins Could Miss Multiple Games With Hamstring Injury

Saturday, September 19, 12:16 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is already out for Sunday against Cincinnati, and the hamstring injury may cost him more than one game. Collins suffered a Grade 1 strain in practice Wednesday after opening the season with seven catches for 75 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets against Buffalo. Aaron Wilson reports the current expectation is that Collins could also miss next week's road game against Indianapolis, though the situation remains fluid. That's a significant short-term hit for a receiver who immediately returned to his usual high-volume role in Week 1. The good news is that Collins avoided a more serious injury. The bad news is that hamstrings can linger, and Houston may choose to be cautious with his return. Sunday is already off the table. If the current expectation holds and Collins also sits in Week 3, fantasy managers could be without him for two straight games.

Malik Nabers Could See Another Limited Workload Against Rams

Saturday, September 19, 6:45 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was active despite questions about his status throughout the offseason. Despite limited snaps, Nabers was productive, hauling in six of nine targets for 69 yards in the 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The third-year receiver played 36 snaps (third among Giants' receivers) and had a target on every 2.7 routes, the highest rate in the NFL last season. He faces a Los Angeles Rams defense that allowed the 12th most fantasy points to wide receivers last season and struggled against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. Unfortunately, his snap count will likely remain low as he continues to recover from the torn ACL he suffered during the 2025 season. Fantasy managers should keep expectations in check for the star receiver until he returns to his full-time role.
