Who Should I Start? Nico Collins or Xavier Worthy

Saturday, November 15, 6:17 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is a good play this week against the Titans, even though he won't have C.J. Stroud (concussion) throwing him the ball, which causes him to slide out of the top 10 in the rankings. Collins had a massive week last week while working with backup Davis Mills, catching seven of 15 targets for 136 yards and tacking on a two-point conversion. The Texans will hope this week's game flow doesn't require Mills to throw 45 times, but it's clear that when the team does air it out, Collins is still the go-to option. Collins has double-digit targets in three straight games, and the Titans have been a good matchup for wide receivers this season. While the risk of a blowout is real, Collins is the WR12 in RotoBaller's Week 11 rankings, making him a strong WR2 option in all formats, even if the volume may be slightly lower this week due to game script.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 11. Worthy should be well-rested coming out of the team's Week 10 bye, but it may not matter given his lack of production lately. Worthy was set to open the season as the team's clear WR1 during Rashee Rice's suspension, but Travis Kelce ran into Worthy, derailing his season in the opening quarter of Week 1. Worthy returned from his shoulder injury in Week 4 and racked up five catches for 83 yards, along with some usage in the run game. It was a promising first game, but it has been downhill since for Worthy. The speedy wideout has now caught three or fewer passes in three of his last four games. Worthy has only managed to eclipse 50 receiving yards twice in six games this season, and now he has to contend with Rice for targets. Worthy will also face the Broncos defense this week, the toughest matchup for opposing wide receivers this season. Worthy is ranked WR29 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, putting him in WR3/Flex range this week.
