VideoFantasy Football Week 7 Start/Sit: The Toughest Lineup DecisionsOctober 22, 2026

From the video

Nico Collins is still the alpha in town... he's like a superstar. He literally is a top seven NFL receiver. But his targets, he's never had more than 120 targets in a season. The top receivers get 150, 160. He doesn't get that... with him only getting the last 3 weeks, eight, seven, and five targets, that's not a lot of targets.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Collins elite talent but target ceiling capped; hold unless getting more value.

Collins is the alpha receiver in Houston with a very good role, but the source advises against selling high despite emerging competition from Jaylen Noel and Marvin Harrison Jr. Collins is a top-seven NFL receiver capable of 25-point consecutive weeks or 50-point back-to-back weeks in fantasy playoffs. However, his target ceiling is a concern—he's never exceeded 120 targets in a season while top receivers get 150-160; over the last three weeks he's received only 8, 7, and 5 targets respectively. The source recommends holding unless you can get more in return than his perceived worth, citing injury risk as an ongoing concern.
