Positive signalProjection
Collins' elite efficiency metrics (2nd in yards per route) position him as a top-5 wideout despite X-receiver limitation
Despite running as a near-exclusive X-receiver for years, Collins has been one of the most efficient wide receivers in the game from 2023 to 2025: 2nd in yards per route, 10th in targets per route, 6th in first downs per route. He keeps company with the best receivers in the league while running a real-deal route tree as the Texans' X-receiver. Collins is an elite man and press coverage-beater in Reception Perception and ranks as a top 5-6 wideout in real-life rankings.
