Nico Collins Won't Return Next Week
3 years agoHouston Texans rookie wide receiver Nico Collins (shoulder) is eligible to come off Injured Reserve after the Week 5 game against the New England Patriots, but head coach David Culley said on Wednesday that Collins won't be ready to return next week. Collins played 55.1 percent of the offensive snaps in the season opener and was targeted three times, but he should have a sizable role when he returns after the team cut Anthony Miller. Chris Conley will be Collins' primary competition for snaps opposite No. 1 receiver Brandin Cooks. Conley has been targeted on only 6.3% of his routes, and he's more of a blocker than pass-catcher. In deeper leagues, Collins might be worth a pickup when he's ready to return.
