Texans' Nico Collins: Tops 100 yards in opener
Nico Collins caught six of eight targets for 117 yards in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts.The fourth-year wideout immediately re-established his chemistry with C.J. Stroud, topping 100 yards to open 2024 after doing so five times last season en route to a 1,297-yard breakout. While Collins led the Houston Texans in receiving yards and targets, newcomer Stefon Diggs caught two red-zone TDs from Stroud and tied Collins for the team lead with six catches, giving secondaries another serious threat to worry about. Collins will look to keep rolling in a Week 2 matchup against the Bears.

Texans' Nico Collins: Not expected to suit up Saturday
Nico Collins is among a number of Houston Texans wideouts not dressed for Saturday's preseason contest versus the Rams, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.Also expected to be held out of the contest are Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell and Robert Woods. Those four are at the head of the wide receiver depth chart for the Texans, so the team appears to be have made the decision to keep its top players out of the exhibition finale. John Metchie III, Ben Skowronek, Xavier Hutchinson and Steven Sims, among others, will get a chance to shine as Houston's pass catchers Saturday.

Texans' Nico Collins: One long gain Saturday
Nico Collins caught one of two targets for 24 yards in Saturday's 28-10 preseason win over the Giants.The first-team offense was only on the field for two possessions and came away with zero points, but Collins and C.J. Stroud still got a chance to show off their chemistry, as the wideout's big gain on the first drive put the Houston Texans in the red zone. Collins is coming off a breakout 2023 campaign, and even with Stefon Diggs now in the mix for targets along with holdovers Tank Dell, Dalton Schultz and others, the 25-year-old could still be Stroud's top downfield option.

Texans' Nico Collins: Plays two drives Friday

Collins and the Houston Texans will host the Giants a week from Saturday in the third of Houston's four preseason games.

Texans' Nico Collins: Inks three-year extension
Nico Collins agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year, $72.75 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Collins is coming off a breakout 2023 season in which he piled up a 80-1,297-8 receiving line on 109 targets (15 games), and even with Stefon Diggs in town on a one-year deal, Collins represents the future for Houston's wide receiver corps, as does second-year pro Tank Dell. While the addition of Diggs crowds the Houston Texans' target distribution, as does the presence of capable pass-catching options like Joe Mixon in the backfield and tight end Dalton Schultz, this significant monetary commitment to Collins provides a bit of extra incentive for offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik to allow Collins and C.J. Stroud to feature the chemistry they demonstrated last season. If Stroud and the Texans can build off 2023 and hit the ground running, Collins should find himself as a frontman in one of the league's elite passing offenses.
