From the episode

I'm a huge Nico Collins fan... Nico's going to get fed targets. And I think Stroud is good enough that he can support at least one wide receiver at a high level.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Preferred over Pickens; will get fed targets despite Stroud's decline.

The source is 'a huge Nico Collins fan' and would take him over George Pickens despite CJ Stroud's poor quarterback play. The source acknowledges Stroud's decline but argues that 'Nico's going to get fed targets' and believes 'Stroud is good enough that he can support at least one wide receiver at a high level.' The preference for Collins over Pickens is grounded in target volume and the belief that Stroud can support one elite receiver despite his overall decline.
