BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: High-End WR1
ANALYSIS: Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) is set to return to action in Week 11 after straining his hamstring in Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. He did so on the 67-yard touchdown he caught, blowing by the opposing Buffalo Bills secondary for a long score.

He's an elite WR1 and a league-winner this year when healthy. He was apparently fully healthy and able to play in Week 10, but was held out due to an abundance of caution. Regardless, he's expected to play on Monday.
The Nico Collins injury sucked, but the timing of it happening after he housed a 67-yard TD at least allowed his YPRR rate to become even further inflated!

He's been ridiculously efficient with his receptions as well as highly productive, and is an easy top-5 player at his position each week. He'll get to continue his crazy run against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. Dallas is reeling from the loss of its starting quarterback.
Expect Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud to look Collins' way plenty of times in the passing game. The loss of fellow WR Stefon Diggs (knee) could lead to even more work for No. 12.
