WR Nico Collins, HOU (1 Viewer)

[darksideofoz]

17 game pace was:

140 targets, 96 receptions, 1425 yards, 10 TD's.

The year before, he was on pace for 91 receptions, 1469 yards, and 9 TD's.

Houston added a lot of pass catches, but they lost Dell and Diggs. I would expect a bounce back of some degree for Stroud. Expect another top 10 season. I've currently got him at WR7 and that feels too low sometimes.

I am hopeful. I picked him up as one of my foundational pieces to rebuild an orphaned dynasty team. the things I'm concerned about, for this season anyway, is if the line play improves and if they can design a reasonable running game to keep defenses honest. If both of those work out, then I think Nico has a top 3 finish.

I'm really pouring over the Nico/St Brown/Puka tier as those are likely going to be my best options in the 1st round this year (keeper league with restrictions) . He's currently my pick in my mind right now.

The thing with Nico is he's come off the field a lot the last 2 seasons. If that was a Slowik thing (rotating WRs heavily) then Collins numbers should bump up just from running more routes, and if Stroud's play is closer to (or exceeds) his rookie season, there is absolutely a scenario Nico is WR1 overall.

I like Nico the most of that trio, and I kinda wonder if Amon-Ra is still on that level without Ben Johnson, and with Williams emerging.

St Brown is the safest imo, I think the offense is good Ben Johnson or not. I'm not sure he has any upside though. I believe Nico could be WR 1, I'm not sure St Brown can.

Recently seen him go 1.12, 2.03, and 2.08 in a SF. So it's right around the turn still nonSF.

I took him 8th overall in my half PPR draft. I like everything I’ve read about him this year. If he stays healthy, it should be a mercurial year for Nico.
