Nico Collins Officially Cleared to Face Broncos on Sunday
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (concussion) has been cleared from the NFL's concussion protocol and will play in Week 9 on Sunday against the visiting Denver Broncos. Collins was limited in Wednesday's practice, but two full practices on Thursday and Friday put him on track to return to the lineup after missing the Week 8 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday due to a concussion he picked up the week prior on Monday night. The 26-year-old doesn't have the ideal matchup to return to, but the good news is the Broncos' secondary will be without All-Pro cornerback Patrick Surtain II (pectoral). When healthy, Collins is typically matchup-proof and should be quarterback C.J. Stroud's top target on Sunday. The former third-rounder has one 100-yard performance and has scored three times in his six games in 2025. Throw Collins back into your starting fantasy lineups this week.
