Nico Collins with a pretty good matchup here against the Tennessee Titans. The thing Nico clearly has going for him is that every other offensive player for the Houston Texans either stinks, which is the case for David Montgomery, or doesn't get to play enough, which would be the case of Jaylen Null. The only thing stopping Nico Collins is his coaches. You know, if the Texans would just say, 'Hey, we are going to get the ball to Nico Collins 12 times a game instead of trying to establish David Montgomery, then they would be a much better offensive team.'

B-tier with strong matchup; coaching limits upside despite elite role

Ranked B tier with pretty good matchup against Tennessee Titans. Nico Collins has significant target share advantage because other Houston Texans offensive players either underperform (David Montgomery) or lack playing time (Jaylen Null). Mattek notes 'The only thing stopping Nico Collins is his coaches' and suggests if Texans targeted Collins 12 times per game instead of establishing Montgomery, they would be much better offensively and likely not 0-4.
