Nico Collins Is a Top-10 Option in His Return

Saturday, October 3, 4:37 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) is ready to return after a two-week absence, and he should step right back into a big role in his team's offense. The 0-3 Texans will need to go all out to beat the Cowboys in Houston, so look for them to be aggressive and get Collins plenty of chances to make plays. In Week 1, before the injury, Collins caught seven of his 10 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown against the Bills. While other players contributed while he was gone, none stepped up and became the go-to option. Collins should slide right back into that featured role against the Cowboys, who have allowed three WR touchdowns in the last two weeks and over 120 yards to the position in each of their three games this year. They added Joey Porter Jr. to the secondary this week, but it's still a favorable matchup for Collins, who ranks as the WR9 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings. You can start with confidence in all formats as he returns from injury.

Omarion Hampton a Risky RB2 in Week 4 vs. Seahawks

Saturday, October 3, 5:14 AM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton is coming off his worst performance of the 2026 season. The 23-year-old had less than a 50% snap share, produced 5.6 PPR points, and finished as the RB40 for the week. Gloomy skies remain for Hampton as he heads to Seattle to face the reigning Super Bowl champions. The Seahawks' defense hasn't allowed a rushing touchdown, has allowed the third-fewest yards per carry, and has allowed the sixth-fewest rushing yards through three games. As a result, Hampton enters Week 4 as RotoBaller's PPR RB24 in a tough matchup. Hampton is a borderline RB2 this week and will likely need to find the end zone to pay off for fantasy managers. The young back has yet to live up to lofty offseason expectations as he heads into Week 4.
