Locked for 30% target share with minimal competition; sleeper value if healthy.

Nico CollinsWR

Objectively a better receiver than A.J. Brown right now; locked for approximately 30% of Texans targets with minimal competition (Jayden Higgins and Tank Dell return but pose no real threat); Texans loaded up at tight end (Marlon Clown, Foster Moreau) leaving Collins as the clear top receiver; has been very good when healthy but struggled with concussions last season; potential sneaky candidate to put up huge numbers if he stays healthy and Stroud improves behind improved offensive line. Also identified as a sleeper WR being drafted later than expected; notes that Collins, Rashee Rice, and DeVonta Smith should all be going back-to-back-to-back in drafts but were all acquired in this draft build, suggesting significant value relative to ADP. Drafted as the team's WR1, anchoring a receiver room the source describes as 'nice.'
