Nico Collins has emerged as one of the elite wide receivers in the league, boasting a remarkable 93.2 receiving grade over the past two seasons, ranking him first among all wideouts. However, his potential has been hampered by recurring injuries, which have impeded his performance in 2024. Despite these setbacks, Collins achieved an impressive 0.612 fantasy points per route run, the highest among receivers in this span, and significant improvements in catch rate and yards after catch. As the Texans reshape their receiving corps, Collins stands to benefit from increased target opportunities.

In the upcoming season, the Texans' offensive dynamics will shift, especially with the absence of key players like Tank Dell. This may elevate Collins' role within the offense, particularly as he continues to develop rapport with quarterback C.J. Stroud, who showed promise in the latter half of the previous season. With improved coaching and potential for increased playing time, Collins presents an intriguing option for fantasy managers, although concerns about his injury history remain.
