Texans' Nico Collins: Inefficient outing Sunday
Nico Collins had four receptions on nine targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders.Collins finished as Houston's leading receiver on a team-high nine targets, but his production was muted by his worst catch rate (44 percent) since Week 10. The star wideout failed to take advantage of a soft matchup against the Raiders in a contest that wound up being much closer than many had anticipated. Collins had been on a three-game heater (12-304-2) prior to Sunday's pedestrian results, so fantasy managers in the thick of the playoff schedule are hoping for a bounce-back effort against the Chargers on Saturday.

Texans' Nico Collins: Hauls in two TDs against Cards
Nico Collins caught three of four targets for 85 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-20 win over Arizona.The Houston Texans' top wideout turned C.J. Stroud's first pass of the day into a 57-yard touchdown, setting the tone for the rout, and Collins then scored Houston's last TD with a four-yard grab in the fourth quarter. It was his first multi-score performance of the season, but he's been locked in since missing a Week 8 clash with the Niners due to a concussion. Over the last seven games, Collins has racked up a 38-662-3 line on 61 targets while also adding a score on the ground. Collins will look to keep rolling in Week 16 against the Raiders.

Texans' Nico Collins: Third 100-yard performance
Nico Collins recorded four receptions on eight targets for 121 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.Collins was the only Houston Texans pass catcher to make a significant impact in a defensive showdown. He was unsurprisingly C.J. Stroud's favorite target, and he did the majority of his damage on long catches of 53 and 46 yards in the first half. After an inconsistent start to the season, Collins now has at least 75 receiving yards in five of his last six games and has topped 100 yards in three contests on the campaign.

Texans' Nico Collins: Just under 100 yards in win
Nico Collins brought in five of 10 targets for 98 yards in the Houston Texans' 20-16 win over the Colts on Sunday. He also rushed once for a seven-yard touchdown.Collins finished as the Texans' leader in receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, logging his sixth double-digit target tally of the season while coming just short of what would have been his third 100-yard effort. He also added the first rushing touchdown of his career on a seven-yard run early in the fourth quarter that snapped a 13-13 tie. The veteran wideout has at least 75 receiving yards in four of his last five games. with three of those performances featuring 90-plus-yard efforts. Collins should be in line for another expansive role in a Week 14 road showdown against the Chiefs next Sunday night.

Texans' Nico Collins: Held in check after halftime
Nico Collins brought in all three targets for 55 yards in the Houston Texans' 23-19 win over the Bills on Thursday night.Collins finished as the team leader in yardage on the night, but all of it came on his three first-half catches. The talented wideout was part of the collateral damage of a modest passing night on the part of Davis Mills, who completed only 53.3 percent of his passes for 153 yards and averaged 5.1 yards per attempt. Collins was coming off a two-game heater while working with Mills -- one where he posted a 16-128-1 line on 25 targets -- so Thursday's downturn was particularly noteworthy. Collins now is slated to return to working with C.J. Stroud when the Texans return to action in a Week 13 road divisional clash against the Colts on Sunday, Nov. 30, as the latter should be cleared from his concussion by that point.

Texans' Nico Collins: Sees more time in slot
Nico Collins' enhanced production over the last two weeks is partially due to being deployed more often in the slot, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports. He's accumulated 16 catches on 25 targets for 228 yards and a touchdown during a two-game winning streak.Collins has been a key factor in the Houston Texans getting to .500 for the season. A coaching decision to scheme him to get more open appears to have worked. During the two-game streak, he's been targeted seven times from the slot, more than he had in his first seven games combined, and those targets have led to success. Collins caught a pivotal fourth-quarter pass for 22 yards in the Week 10 win over Jacksonville and had three catches for 31 yards from the slot, including a touchdown, in a Week 11 win over Tennessee. Collins and the Texans will be challenged to repeat that success this week in a Thursday night game against the Bills, who rank second in the NFL with 169.7 passing yards allowed per game.

Texans' Nico Collins: Turns in full practice
Nico Collins (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.Houston estimated Collins as a limited participant for Monday's walk-through session, but the wideout has cleared up any concern about his availability for Thursday's game against the Bills. For the third straight week, Collins will be on the receiving end of throws from quarterback Davis Mills, who will make another start while C.J. Stroud remains in the concussion protocol.

Texans' Nico Collins: Limited by ankle issue
Nico Collins was limited at Monday's walkthrough due to an ankle injury.Collins previously dealt with a knee issue and a concussion this season, so this is a new concern for the fifth-year pro ahead of Thursday's game against the Bills. Meanwhile, C.J. Stroud (concussion) was a DNP on Monday, and Davis Mills seems poised for another start under center in Week 12. Working with Mills the past two contests, Collins put together a 16-228-1 line on 25 targets.

Texans' Nico Collins: Paces pass catchers in win
Nico Collins brought in nine of 10 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in the Houston Texans' 16-13 win over the Titans on Sunday.Collins flashed strong chemistry with Davis Mills, setting the pace for the Texans in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The talented wideout also was on the receiving end of Mills' only touchdown pass of the day, recording a three-yard grab just past the halfway point of the third quarter. C.J. Stroud (concussion) may have a difficult time clearing protocol in time for Thursday night's Week 12 matchup against the Bills, and that could potentially be a positive development for Collins considering he's posted a combined 16-228-1 line on 25 targets with Mills as the full-time starter in the last two games.
