STACKED’s take
Collins poised for JSN-type breakout with 30% target share; elite tape and metrics.
Collins is the most likely WR to have a Jaxon Smith-Njigba type of breakout season. He's certified elite on tape and in the advanced metrics, and the Texans' lackluster WR depth opens up the chance for a 30% target share. Newly acquired Kayshon Boutte is a low-volume deep threat as his counterpart, and that type of profile should allow Collins to have more underneath/intermediate routes this season. That's the difference between being a consistent fantasy WR1 and the up-and-down WR11 on WR11 usage that he was last season. The matchup is more neutral; the Bills have an offense that can keep pace with the Texans' elite defense, but Buffalo was a run funnel last season, allowing the fifth most rushing yards and the second fewest pass yards per game. CB1 Christian Benford is legit. The Texans are 22nd in projected points, and Collins has a 68.5-yard projection by the betting markets as a low-end WR1.
