Nico CollinsWRHOU

Last season's WR10 finish (12.7 PPR PPG) was inflated due to league-wide WR/QB injuries; in a normal year that production equates to WR17, not the early-round value his ECR 9 suggests. The Texans' elite defense and league-average passing volume outlook limit ceiling upside relative to draft capital.

Source transcript excerpt
Last season was fine overall in terms of the finished wide receiver 10 in average fantasy points per game and half BPR averaging 12.7 fantasy points per game. But that finish was a little bit misleading... That finish is more so a mid-tier wide receiver two in a normal year... in a normal season, that kind of production is like wide receiver 17 type of production
