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.
ive seen everything from 7 to 16.
Recently seen him go 1.12, 2.03, and 2.08 in a SF. So it's right around the turn still nonSF.
Me too. I like his chances a lot this year.
I took him at 1.10 in my 12-teamer .
Which is weird, because every time I see it bumped I assume he just got 125 yds and 2 TDs
They made the Rams defense look like a top 5 unit, which maybe they will be, but it wasn't on my bingo card. If you got Nico where his ADP was falling to the turn, early 2nd round I think you'll be fine (if he also stays healthy), but man... I would not be expecting miracles. I think if he squeezes into the bottom end of the WR1s it would be a win. OLs don't just magically get better in the middle of the year. Think their schedule is sneaky bad defensively too. Like I said a couple months ago, I expect low scoring run out the clock type games.
Seems like a bottom barrel offense with no running backs to instill fear in defenses and I think this coaching staff is over its head. Texans defense is quite good but if they were to get a decent running back it would've helped.
He has 8 targets with 11 minutes left in the fourth.
yeah he just had 3 on that drive, so improvement.
I know. They just gave him three cracks at a TD. Targets are seldom evenly distributed over four quarters. It only matters how many they end up with. Down four, I expect he'll see a few more on their next drive.
And this is somewhat an extension of last week, Stroud so throughly distributed the ball, without sitting through an all 22 , I would assume Collins is, rightly, blanketed.
I did not watch last week but Nico has 9 targets on 24 attempts. That's a massive share
September football in the modern day NFL... Stroud missed Nico on that 1 yd TD pass... probably a perfect throw in Oct. As Aikman pointed out, Collins takes that route at more of an angle he scores (instead of tackled at the 1).
Definitely had this in mind as an overall note to slumping studs, fair point.
