Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry on Nico Collins

PodcastThe 8 Hardest Players to Rank with Andy BehrensAugust 25, 2026

From the episode

I think the biggest impact of Booty coming to Texas, the Texans getting some new booty, is that Nico Collins is suddenly freed up. He doesn't just have to be, you know, the deep threat... can they find different ways to get Nico Collins the ball?

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Boutte's arrival should free up Nico Collins for more versatile usage.

Matthew Berry ranks Nico Collins as his WR9 and believes the addition of Kayshawn Boutte will benefit Collins by freeing him up to move around the formation. Berry suggests that with Boutte taking the top off the defense, the Texans can utilize Collins in the slot or on bubble screens to get him easier touches.
