If there was a fantasy revelation in Week 1 it might have been Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins. The third-year pro out of Michigan had some nice chemistry with C.J. Stroud and managed six catches for 80 yards against the Baltimore Ravens. Can Collins have a repeat performance against the Indianapolis Colts.
