Great fantasy managers must monitor injury developments throughout the NFL season. As we approach Week 14, there are some notable players dealing with injuries.
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has played a significant role in the Texans' passing attack as of late, but his status for a Week 14 date with the Dallas Cowboys is in doubt.
Is Nico Collins healthy or injured? What is his fantasy football injury outlook for Week 14?

Is Nico Collins Hurt Or Healthy?
There's no sugar-coating it, the Houston Texans are not a good football team. Despite Houston's 2022 struggles, Nico Collins has been one of the few bright spots for the team. Collins has hauled in 37 catches for 481 receiving yards and two TDs this year.
As a Week 14 date with the Dallas Cowboys looms, Collins' availability is shaky at best. He is dealing with a foot injury and has failed to log a practice session this week. Houston beat reporter Aaron Wilson suggests that Collins is trending in the wrong direction for the matchup with Dallas.
Should I Pick Up Chris Moore for Week 14?
In addition to the aforementioned Collins, Texans' receiver Brandin Cooks is also doubtful for Week 14. Their absences would leave the Houston receiving corps severely depleted.
In the absence of Collins and/or Cooks, Chris Moore would be the next man up for the Texans. Moore has logged 314 receiving yards and a pair of TDs this season.
He would see an increased role and likely a bump in targets should his receiving corps mates be sidelined. That said, this is an offense that's one of the worst in the league going against an excellent Dallas defense. Moore would be a stretch add for even the most desperate of fantasy managers.
