Two catches for six yards? This is rough. And here's the thing: It's a pattern, not a blip. Collins has 17 targets in his last three games.

Negative signalUsage

Collins' 17 targets in three games signal potential WR2 demotion post-bye.

Collins had two catches for six yards, continuing a rough pattern: 17 targets in his last three games. While the Texans blew out the Titans and didn't need Collins in the fourth quarter, the Jaguars and Giants games were all-hands-on-deck situations where the Texans simply couldn't figure out how to get Collins more involved. With Tank Dell joining Marvin Harrison Jr. in a crowded receiver room, there's a non-zero chance Collins continues in a diminished role. The source believes Collins will be fine and there's nothing about his play that looks bad, but the Texans have to figure out their receiver pecking order during the Week 8 bye. Collins could be a WR2 in fantasy circles after the bye, but it's no sure thing.
