Nico Collins News
Friday, March 20, 6:15 AM
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has emerged as a low-end WR1 in fantasy football, but he still continues to fall a little short of his true ceiling. Collins has played five NFL seasons so far, and he has yet to play all 17 games in a single campaign. Injuries limited him to 15 contests in 2025, resulting in a final stat line of 71 catches, 1,117 yards, and six touchdowns. These numbers were good enough to rank as the overall WR8, giving him a top-12 receiver finish for the second time in three years. Collins has missed an average of 3.8 games per season, which is valuable playing time that could have otherwise been used to accumulate fantasy points. His fantasy output itself is impressive given the inconsistency we saw from quarterback C.J. Stroud in 2025, but managers would now like to see Collins stay healthy for a full season so that he doesn't force them to find a replacement option at random points throughout the season.

Rashee Rice News
Thursday, April 2, 12:21 PM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was suspended for the first six games of the 2025 season due to a 2024 hit-and-run incident that resulted in him pleading guilty to two felony charges. Across eight games after returning, the 25-year-old recorded 53 receptions for 571 yards and five touchdowns on 78 targets, missing additional time due to a concussion. While Rice is expected to be healthy heading into 2026, he may be facing yet another suspension due to an unresolved domestic violence lawsuit that was filed against him. When he's on the field, Rice remains a talented pass-catcher who should be a consistent fantasy producer, particularly in PPR formats. However, Rice's legal troubles are adding up, and his consistent issues with availability make him an unreliable player for managers to roster. In dynasty formats, Rice's current value is difficult to gauge while his status with the league office remains uncertain.
