ESPN Fantasy Football on Nico Collins
From the article
After commanding elite 30% and 27% target shares in his first two games, the vet's volume has curiously receded over the past three weeks, cratering to a sub-20% target share and a painful 8.0 fantasy points per game... Collins registered a season-low 63% snap share and was held to a measly 6-yard performance, his lowest receiving output since 2021... Collins sits outside of my top 15 fantasy players at the position.
STACKED’s take
Collins' target share collapse and committee approach push him outside top 15.
Collins' volume has cratered over the past three weeks after commanding elite 30% and 27% target shares in his first two games, falling to a sub-20% target share and averaging just 8.0 fantasy points per game. His red zone usage has evaporated, absorbing just one of Houston's nine red zone targets and one end zone look over that span. In Week 8, Collins registered a season-low 63% snap share and was held to a measly 6-yard performance, his lowest receiving output since 2021. C.J. Stroud is now actively spreading the ball around, with six wideouts each running at least five routes, drawing a target, and catching a pass in Week 8 alone—a sudden committee approach that has lowered Collins' near-term floor. Against a Chargers defense that has attracted the league's second-fewest number of looks to wide receivers (109) in a game with an underwhelming 40.5 total, Collins sits outside the top 15 fantasy players at the position.
