Nico Collins Is a Top 10 Receiver Even With a Backup Quarterback

Wednesday, November 19, 7:37 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has at least seven catches in each of his last three games and is coming off a big game last week against the Titans. He had nine catches on 10 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown, while working with Davis Mills since C.J. Stroud (concussion) is still sidelined. Stroud will be absent for a third straight week when the Texans host the Bills on Thursday Night Football, but Collins continues to get plenty of volume, drawing double-digit targets in each of his four games since the team's Week 6 Bye Week. Since he brings big play potential and also gets consistent work, Collins is ranked as the No. 7 WR in RotoBaller's ranking in a neutral matchup against Buffalo.

Xavier Worthy News

Xavier Worthy Will Practice Thursday

Thursday, November 20, 2:55 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (ankle) will practice "in some capacity" on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, Pete Sweeney of the KCStar reports. Worthy will likely be listed as a limited participant on Thursday, but it's positive to see him return to the practice field and gives him a chance to suit up in Week 12. The 22-year-old recorded just three catches for 25 yards on five targets in the loss to Denver and hasn't found the end zone since Week 6 against the Lions, which is also his only touchdown this season. Worthy's status will be updated as the week progresses, and if the speedy wideout is able to play, he will rank as a low-end WR3 for Sunday's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
