Nico CollinsWRHOU

Matt Harmon acknowledges Nico Collins is undeniably one of the top receivers in the NFL talent-wise, but has been frustrating and unreliable from a fantasy perspective. Harmon projects Collins as a back-half WR1 on a base case scenario and notes he will likely remain a little frustrating and inconsistent. However, Harmon sees potential for improvement: Collins could be moved around the formation more, and C.J. Stroud could be better this year after posting top-10 EPA per play last season, which could elevate Collins' production.
