Collins' elite receiving metrics face Ward's elite coverage; historical edge to Ward.

Houston WR Nico Collins is second on the Texans in receptions (28), first in receiving yards (384) and receiving touchdowns (4), with an 82.8 PFF receiving grade and 2.10 yards per route run marking his fourth straight season at those thresholds; his 82.4% contested catch rate ranks third among receivers with 35-plus targets. However, he hasn't had an explosive game since early October against Dallas (seven receptions, 118 yards, two touchdowns) and faces Cleveland CB Denzel Ward, who has generally had Collins' number historically, holding him to two catches for 53 yards over three career games with a 75% win rate in terms of being charted as open.
