Nico Collins News
Monday, August 24, 11:09 AM
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins got a little more competition Monday, which matters after Jayden Higgins' season-ending ACL tear had opened the door to a huge target load. Houston is reportedly acquiring Kayshon Boutte from New England for safety Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh-round pick. Boutte caught 33 passes for 551 yards and six touchdowns last season, and he gives C.J. Stroud another outside target who can win downfield. The Texans had already signed Zay Jones and Sterling Shepard after Higgins went down. None of those moves knocks Collins off the top line. He has topped 1,000 yards three years in a row and finished 2025 with 71 catches for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns. It does change the volume math a bit. Collins looked set to absorb a huge share of the passing game once Higgins was lost, and Houston has now spent several days adding veteran help plus Boutte. RotoBaller has Collins 23rd overall in its latest PPR rankings. He's still a WR1, just with a little less room for the monster target spike fantasy managers could have pictured last week.

Marvin Harrison Jr. News
Thursday, August 27, 11:57 AM
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is giving fantasy managers more reason to buy back in after an injury-marred 2025 season. Harrison caught 41 of 73 targets for 608 yards and four touchdowns in 12 games last year while dealing with a concussion, an appendectomy, a heel injury, and a separate foot issue that eventually landed him on injured reserve. This summer has been much cleaner. Harrison has stayed on the field throughout camp and made an impact in his first preseason action against Las Vegas, drawing a 20-yard pass-interference penalty from the slot before catching a seven-yard touchdown from Jacoby Brissett on the opening drive. Mike LaFleur has identified Harrison as Arizona's X receiver while also making it clear the offense can move him inside and outside through formations and motion. The target competition is still substantial. Trey McBride posted 126 catches for 1,239 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, while Michael Wilson went for 1,006 yards and seven scores. Harrison has plenty left to prove after two uneven NFL seasons, but his health, clearer role, and encouraging preseason work have his stock moving back up. RotoBaller currently ranks him WR32 in half-PPR.
