WR Nico Collins, HOU (5 Viewers)

He's WR1 in my local (and probably most scoring systems). If we're drafting today, I might still have Jefferson and Lamb ahead of him but they're pretty close. He's definitely been my best value in the late second.

We're running out of reasons to not place Nico Collins in the top tier of NFL wide receivers. The film demands it. His complete #ReceptionPerception profile demands it. The production demands it.

Another impressive note about Nico Collins' 2024 season: The Texans have faced the highest rate of two-high safeties and cover-two this season (per @FantasyPtsData)

At a time when we got offenses addicted to Mickey Mouse routes and media obsessing over these coverages "killing scoring," the Texans just can't stop throwing big boy vertical routes - especially over the middle - to Nico Collins.

Per Texanswire quoting Schefter, Nico is considered “day to day.” Supposedly the hope is he may be ready for week 6 or at least week 7.

Edit: couple of others like local reporter Aaron Wilson reporting similar. Thought short-term, could be back as early as this week

WR Nico Collins, Houston | Hamstring Injury | Projecting Week 9 Return​

Nico Collins left Sunday's game early with a hamstring injury. However, Collins did not leave fantasy managers hanging and scored 15.8 PPR points, with 90% of his production coming on a long TD reception. It appears that big play did come at a cost since it was this play that led to the injury.

On average, WRs who sustain a hamstring strain miss 2.6 weeks, but if you remember, Collins was dealing with a hamstring injury earlier in Week 3. If this is the same injury, that could be an issue for fantasy managers

Drilling down to WRs who sustain a hamstring with a re-injury in the same season, the average time missed bumps up to 6 weeks, with the majority of time missed coming after the re-injury (~3.5 weeks). Essentially, this data hints that WRs who play through a hamstring injury or come back too soon worsen their injury. It's possible Collins misses a decent amount of time.

I don't know if there is a difference of opinion. I think Schefter is basing his comments on info from the team. I believe FBG is basing his comments on typical hammy issues. They seem to be coming from different angles.

Seems like different opinions to me, but I agree about the different angles in how they get there.
 
Rotowire report:

Viewed as day-to-day
October 7, 2024
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said after Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills that Collins is day-to-day after exiting the game with a hamstring injury, Kristie Rieken of the Associated Press reports.

I don't think the FBG article is an opinion. I think it just provides typical game missed data for general injury types. I didn't take what he said that Collins is missing X games. Just that WR's with hamstring injuries on average miss X games. Not specific to Collins.

I read it as "projected", as stated. If they meant it as just as "typical games missed", I think it gives the impression that is their belief. Otherwise, putting in bold letters

Projecting Week 9 Return​

in the title of each player's injury, seems to want to emphasize that point.
 
I have a bad feeling this isn’t going to be day to day. Same hammy as week three. I think he’s out multiple weeks.
 
Schefter just reported that HOU saying Collins hamstring injury is looking like a multi-week absence (went from day-to-day to week-to-week).

What a disaster - I saw him walk off the field after the TD and thought he would be fine. Between him and Mixon this is shaping up to be a very bad year for the Hou O injury wise
Click to expand...
I hope MFL puts him on IR today, because our waivers run tonight. I'm sure fantasy teams could use the extra roster spot.
 
It's always when they "walk off the field fine and healthy" that they tend to be severely injured.

Reminds me of Andre Johnson...and he's a texan! Such a freak athlete and route runner...but I'll be damned if Andre's hammies didn't get the worse of him.

Sending this huge dude on such long routes and taking such big hits...asking for trouble.
 
Only knock Collins is injury history.
2021 - DNP 3 games
2022 - Inactive/DNP 7 games
2023 - Inactive 2 games
2024 - Inactive minimum 4 games
 
Don't rule out Texans not trading for another WR if Woods, X, Metchie aren't getting it done.
I still think Woods might be the play if any of these guys step it up. While underwhelming compared to X he's reliable.

sure cause Tank Dell is sitting on most wires.....more like bottom barrel dart throws.

see above I bolded for you

gotcha - but both those ships have sailed for most Nico owners like me - Tank long gone from wire and now teams that own him value him much more and asking for a ton. Back to the wire for me!
Click to expand...
I hear you and would imagine in majority of leagues he's not available and with Collins on IR his value went up.
 
I'm trading him.
Severe hammys have burned me more than anything in FF.
It's always the guy may be back on nope he's sitting another week. Then the player tweaks it off n on the rest of the year and... skipping all that.
Others have hope for him still so I'm listening to offers.

Absolutely Google for comparisons and make your own decision here. Just my two cents
 
Should have kept Noah Brown. He was the best option to replace Nico and keep the offense the same.

Then again, maybe the offense needs to change so Slowik can remember they have Tank Dell.
