Well, he's got one worry: His bye, which arrives this very week. Among players (or team defenses) whose knockout rates were greater than league average over the past three weeks, 17% were on bye at the time. Still, if you can steer Collins through his Week 8 absence, he doesn't have a single remaining matchup against one of the 10 toughest schedule-adjusted positional matchups, and he finishes his Knockout season with four straight games against top-12 favorable matchups.

Collins' Week 8 bye is a hurdle, but post-bye schedule is elite.

Collins' bye arrives in Week 8, which is a concern; among players whose knockout rates exceeded league average over the past three weeks, 17% were on bye at the time. However, if he can be steered through his Week 8 absence, he has no remaining matchups against one of the 10 toughest schedule-adjusted positional matchups and finishes with four straight games against top-12 favorable matchups. The source recommends bidding 17-40% of FAB budget.
