Who Should I Start? Nico Collins or Xavier Worthy

Monday, November 17, 7:23 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report, according to DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN. It's a new injury for Collins, but he didn't appear to be hurt in the team's Week 11 win over the Tennessee Titans. The 26-year-old caught a season-high nine passes on 10 targets for 92 yards and his fourth touchdown of the year in the 16-13 victory. Starting quarterback C.J. Stroud has missed the last two games with a concussion, but it hasn't slowed Collins down, as he now has 16 receptions on 25 targets for 228 yards and a touchdown the last two weeks with Davis Mills running the offense. As long as Collins can suit up on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills in Week 12, he should remain in all starting fantasy lineups. He is the WR11 with 12.6 half-PPR points per game in 2025.

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.
