Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) off injury report, set to play vs. Cowboys on Monday night
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) was a full participant in practice on Friday and is off the injury report. He is expected to play in Monday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Collins missed the Texans' Week 14 game against the Kansas City Chiefs with a hamstring injury. He returned to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday and was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday.
The Texans are hoping that Collins can provide a boost to their passing game. The team has struggled to score points this season, ranking 31st in the NFL in scoring offense. Collins is a big target at 6'4", 215 pounds, and he has good hands. He has 25 catches for 344 yards and two touchdowns this season.
The Cowboys are allowing the most passing yards per game in the NFL this season. They have also allowed the most passing touchdowns. This is a good matchup for Collins to get back on track.
Fantasy Impact
Collins is a boom-or-bust player in fantasy football. He has the potential to have a big game, but he also has the potential to disappear. He is a risky play, but he could be worth the risk if you are looking for a high-upside player.
If you are playing Collins in fantasy football, you should start him with confidence. He is a good matchup against the Cowboys and he is expected to play a lot of snaps.
