Ron Stewart on Nico Collins

VideoCaptured September 5, 2026

From the video

the Jaden Higgins injury really opens things up for Nico Collins...Jaden Higgins is a big slot flanker type of receiver...They bring in Kanan Booty who's the opposite of that...which now gives Nico Collins all of that fun usage underneath attached to CJ Stout. This is somebody who had five separate games last year of a 30% or higher target share.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

WR8 with expanded role after Higgins ACL tear; WR7 PPG average when healthy.

WR8 projection with injury-driven opportunity. Jaden Higgins' ACL tear removes a big slot flanker who struggled against press man, replaced by Kanan Booty (press-man specialist with Alec Pierce route tree). This shift gives Nico Collins expanded usage underneath, attached to CJ Stroud who posted five separate games last year with 30%+ target share. Collins averaged WR7 in PPG over last three seasons when healthy; positioned as potential final-year breakout.
