From the article

Nico Collins is already the 3rd place WR all-time for the Texans with 4,347 yards heading into the 2026 season... Where you can make an argument that Collins is better than Nuk is the yards-per-catch. D-Hop had 13.7, while Nico sits at 15.0.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Collins' YPC and catch trajectory suggest he could surpass Hopkins' Texans receiving legacy.

Collins is already 3rd all-time in Texans receiving yards with 4,347 heading into 2026; his 15.0 yards-per-catch exceeds DeAndre Hopkins' 13.7, and if given Hopkins' 632 career catches, Collins' total would reach 9,480 yards—878 more than Hopkins' Texans total and more than the average NFL receiver gains in an entire season.
