in a game where Nico Collins is out, the Texans are massively incentivized to lean on the run as much as they possibly can.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Collins' absence forces Texans to lean on run game, boosting Montgomery but risking fewer red-zone trips.

Collins is out for Week 2, which significantly impacts the Texans' offensive strategy. His absence massively incentivizes Houston to lean heavily on the run game, benefiting running backs like David Montgomery. However, it also raises the risk that the Texans may not reach the red zone as frequently without Collins' deep-threat ability.
