From the episode

they see Nico Collins as an X and they want him to be the X receiver...he's been off ball on 17%. He's been on the line of scrimmage on 83% of his snaps...2.2 yards per route run is awesome.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Collins locked in as X receiver at 83% on-line snaps; elite 2.2 YPR despite Harrison trade.

Collins is being used as the primary X receiver (83% on-line-of-scrimmage snaps over last two games, 17% off-ball, 14% slot rate), not as a sacrificial receiver. He's averaging 2.2 yards per route run, which is elite production. The Texans view him as their X receiver and want to keep him there, with Marvin Harrison moving to Z receiver instead. Collins could be a low-end WR1 rather than top-5 due to Harrison's arrival, but his role remains secure.
