Who Should I Start? Nico Collins or Rashee Rice

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was only targeted three times on Thursday Night, catching all three passes but finishing with only 55 yards. He was not targeted at all in the second half. Despite his down game, Collins' team was still able to pull out a huge win over the Bills, 23-19, to remain right in the middle of the playoff hunt in the AFC. The Texans have won three straight under Davis Mills, but they'll hope to get C.J. Stroud (concussion) back for next week's huge divisional road game against the Colts. If Stroud returns, Collins will have a higher ceiling, but he has gotten so much volume in the rest of his games this season that he should be poised for a bounce-back performance next week, regardless of who is under center.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. Rice struggled to find success against the vaunted Denver defense in last week's loss. Rice caught six passes for 38 yards on nine targets in Week 11. The good news is he finished second on the team in targets, and he should continue being a target hog this week against Indianapolis. The Colts defense has given up the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, meaning Rice could bounce back in a big way. With fellow receiver Xavier Worthy officially questionable for Sunday's contest, Rice could be relied upon even more in the passing game. The fact that the Colts offense has scored the most points this season bodes well for this becoming a shootout, and Rice would benefit. Rice is ranked WR4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, meaning that he's a locked-and-loaded WR1 in Week 12.
