Nico Collins "Very Much in Doubt" to Play Sunday

Friday, September 25, 6:23 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) has not practiced this week, and his availability for Week 3 against the Indianapolis Colts is "very much in doubt," according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Collins missed Week 2 due to the injury, which also sidelined him for back-to-back practices on Wednesday and Thursday this week. While there's still a chance he could progress to a limited or full status on Friday, it doesn't sound like he's trending in the right direction. That's brutal news for the Texans, who are off to a 0-2 start and would love to get their alpha receiver back for a crucial divisional battle against the Indianapolis Colts. Jaylin Noel, Xavier Hutchinson, and Kayshon Boutte should step up as the Texans' top receivers on Sunday, but none of them are absolute must-starts in fantasy football.

Zay Flowers Still Not Practicing Thursday

Thursday, September 24, 9:25 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) missed the team's Week 2 loss to the Saints, and his Week 3 availability is trending in the wrong direction after he missed his second straight practice on Thursday. Flowers was knocked out of the season-opener with a hamstring injury after recording a career-high 150 receiving yards in just one half of play. Despite running only 11 routes this season, he still sits as the fantasy WR18 through two weeks, and while it's looking unlikely that he'll be available for the team's Week 3 tilt with the Cowboys, to be played in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Flowers has proven to be a must-start player whenever he is again made available.
