Houston wide receiver Nico Collins has been a full participant for the Texans this season. In three losses, he has made 14 receptions on 25 targets for 181 yards and two TDs. So, while the Texans have struggled, Collins has done well in the team’s offense. However, after last week’s game, he popped up in the injury report. With fantasy owners needing to make lineup decisions before Thursday Night Football, they are wondering if Collins will be available this week.
Nico Collins Injury Update
Nico Collins has been a full participant in each game for the Houston Texans so far this season. However, on Wednesday, he was limited at practice because of a knee injury. There has been no comment from the coaching staff on Nico Collins’ injury. That, coupled with the fact that Collins did not appear impeded in the team’s game against Jacksonville on Sunday, likely means that Collins will be good to go on Sunday.
Although it has not been 100% confirmed, Collins likely took a maintenance day. Collins has dealt with injuries throughout his career, so the coaching staff are likely trying to keep him healthy by limiting his practices. However, according to Rotowire, he is listed as questionable on the injury report.
It’s not Fantasy Football season without Nico Collins being listed as “questionable” after a 100yd game 🥰

Nico Collins Fantasy Football Outlook
As long as Nico Collins is playing this weekend, he should 100% be included in all fantasy players’ lineups. According to Fantasy Pros, Collins is the No. 4-ranked wide receiver in fantasy football. He is only behind Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and CeeDee Lamb.
Collins has been slowly improving throughout the season. After a lackluster first two weeks, Collins had by far his best game of the season, catching eight of 11 targets for 104 yards and a TD. While he also had a fumble, he was still highly effective for the Texans.
If Nico Collins plays on Sunday, he should have a good week. The Texans are up against the Tennessee Titans, who are another winless team. The Titans look like they will be among the worst teams in the league again, so Collins is a must-start in fantasy this week. The game is scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
