Nico Collins News

Nico Collins Continues to Produce for Texans

Wednesday, November 11, 6:12 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has put together a productive 2026 campaign so far. He leads the Texans with 384 receiving yards and also leads the team in receiving touchdowns with four. Collins also ranks second on the team in receptions with 28, behind only tight end Dalton Schultz (35 receptions). Collins, who has drawn 39 total targets in 2026, missed two games earlier this season due to a hamstring injury. Most recently, Collins caught all four of his targets for 55 yards (13.8 yards per reception) and a touchdown in a 44-22 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Collins has recorded at least 55 receiving yards in six out of his seven appearances this season. According to RotoBaller, Collins averages 12.9 fantasy points per game in half-PPR scoring settings, ranking 13th in the NFL. Collins and the Texans have a matchup with the Cleveland Browns in Week 10. The Browns have one of the stoutest passing defenses in the NFL, allowing just 201.0 passing yards per game, which ranks sixth in the league. Still, RotoBaller ranks Collins as its No. 15 wide receiver for Week 10 (half-PPR), and he should safely remain in all starting lineups.

Rashee Rice News

Rashee Rice Removed From Injury Report, Should Continue Being Heavily Targeted At Atlanta

Friday, November 13, 12:24 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice led the team in targets and finished second on the team in receiving yards in last week's 35-12 win over the New York Jets. Since returning from injury, Rice has been the featured target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes and that should continue to be the case despite dealing with a knee issue. Rice was listed on the team's injury report with a knee injury this week but it did not prevent him from logging full practices all week. After a third full practice on Friday, he does not have an injury designation ahead of the weekend. Rice should be fully prepared to take on the Atlanta Falcons on the road this Sunday. The Falcons defense has been a tough matchup for wide receivers and soft on running backs, making them more of a run funnel this season. The loss of safety Jessie Bates should open things up in the Atlanta secondary, but the best way to attack the defense will likely still be on the ground. Given the matchup and recent addition of Josh Downs at the trade deadline, Rice could be in for a lesser performance this Sunday. Rice is ranked WR16 in our RotoBaller Week 10 PPR rankings, making him a strong WR2 option this week, but he may have limited upside.
