3 years agoHouston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins could see a bump in usage if Brandin Cooks (illness) misses this week. Cooks has had back-to-back DNPs over the last two days. The matchup for Collins would be terrible. The Colts funnel passes to the middle of the field where the TEs and RBs typically run routes, but they have been locked down against WRs. That said, the Texans have nothing to lose and they traded up to select Collins for a reason. This could be the beginning of a massive shift in workload that lasts the remainder of the season. If Cooks misses time, Collins is a solid WR3/flex option in deeper leagues and he should be stashed on the bench if you have the space. If Cooks plays, Collins isn't usable this week but should still be closely monitored.--Jacob Taylor
