From the episode

Nico Collins ran a go route and like half of his routes. That's a huge number... Nico Collins should not be deployed as you would deploy Deshaun Jackson... Nico is one of them. And it is becoming a problem. Because he needs to be fed like a volume alpha X receiver, not deployed like a field stretcher.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Collins misdeployed as field stretcher; needs volume alpha role for value.

Collins is being deployed as a field stretcher (running go routes on roughly half his routes, Taequann Thornton level) rather than as a volume alpha receiver, which is problematic given his talent profile. He needs to be fed like a volume alpha X receiver, not deployed like a field stretcher. This deployment mismatch, combined with too many hungry mouths in Houston, is becoming a problem for his fantasy value.
