Who Should I Start? Nico Collins or Quentin Johnston

Monday, December 15, 12:36 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins recorded three receptions (four targets) for 85 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Collins got the scoring started early for the Texans, hauling in a 57-yard touchdown on the second play from scrimmage. The star wideout joins a crew of legendary wide receivers with three or more seasons recording at least 1,000 receiving yards with the Texans, alongside DeAndre Hopkins and Andre Johnson. The 26-year-old was quiet for most of the game after his long touchdown, but he later connected with quarterback C.J. Stroud for a four-yard touchdown with just over three minutes remaining in the game. Collins has been one of the best wide receivers in fantasy football over the second half of the season and will look to stay hot next week against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (groin) was limited on Wednesday by the same groin injury that held him out of Week 15's win over the Chiefs. Johnston was a late addition to last week's injury report, logging a limited practice on Friday before missing his second game of the season. After a red-hot start to the year, Johnston has struggled with consistency, making him one of the more difficult start/sit decisions for most of the fantasy season. If he is able to ramp up his practice participation, he remains in play as a desperation start for the fantasy semifinals, as the Chargers face a Cowboys defense that ranks dead last in points surrendered above expectation to the wide receiver position.
