Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, Steve Buchanan and Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they think about this latest injury to Nico Collins (hamstring).
A monster campaign for Nico Collins was put on hold this week. The NFL’s leading receiver (567 yards) was placed on injured reserve, opening up a massive hole on an elite Texans offense. With his favorite target gone, it’s anyone’s guess as to where quarterback C.J. Stroud ($7,000) will throw the ball. More targets for Stefon Diggs ($7,400)? A return to form for Tank Dell ($6,200)? Could Dalton Schultz ($4,100) get more involved?
Who will emerge for Houston in Week 6? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) took a closer look at the Texans’ offense on Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- In theory, Diggs should see the biggest jump in production without Collins. However, being covered as the number one option by a good cornerback like Christian Gonzalez could make things more difficult this week.
- Meghan hasn’t liked what she’s seen from Dell all season. His high DFS price doesn’t match his production, even with more opportunity. Both Dell and Diggs are boom-or-bust plays on Sunday.
- Steve’s favorite play is Schultz. The tight end hasn’t been great this year (14 receptions for 116 yards), but he received six targets last week after Collins left the game. Stroud will need a red zone target, and the 6’5 pass catcher could fill that void.
