From the article
Collins posted several season-lows on Sunday, including routes (23), targets (5, tied with Week 6), catches (2), yards (6, his second-fewest ever)...didn't log a single downfield catch for the first time this season...His target numbers haven't increased week-over-week a single time this season...WR12 in ROS rankings feels a bit rich...if you need wins right now, I think he's tradeable.
STACKED’s take
Collins' season-low production and zero downfield catches raise ROS ranking concerns.
Collins caught 2 of 5 official targets for 6 yards in Week 7 on 41 of 61 snaps (67%, down from 73%), posting several season-lows: 23 routes, 5 targets (tied with Week 6), 2 catches, 6 yards (second-fewest ever), and 44 air yards, with a career-low -2 completed air yards. He ran vertical routes at a season-high 47.8% rate but posted a season-low 8.8 air yards per target and didn't log a single downfield catch for the first time this season (two targets). Collins drew coverage from Giants CB1 Deonte Banks, who allowed just 1 reception for 4 yards across 14 matchups against Collins. His target numbers haven't increased week-over-week once this season; catch totals have declined each week since his Week 4 return. After four deep targets and two TDs in his first two games, he's seen just three deep targets and hasn't scored in his last three outings. The source notes WR12 in ROS rankings feels rich and suggests he's tradeable if you need wins now, though not to sell for pennies after a bad game on a bye week.
