UPDATE 7:53 p.m. ET: Collins has officially been designated as inactive.
Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, DraftKings Sportsbook analyst Steve Buchanan and NFL guru Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they have to say about this latest injury to Nico Collins (hamstring).
After getting off to a terrific start, Texans star Nico Collins ($7,900) has been sidelined since October 6th with a hamstring injury. Now, after a month of rehabbing, the wide receiver has been activated from the injured reserve. While he’s currently questionable for Sunday night’s game against the Lions, Collins is desperately needed in Houston. The team has accumulated an average of just 312.5 yards per game in his absence.
With fellow receiver Stefon Diggs out for the season, is Collins poised to immediately dominate the Texans’ offense? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) discussed the Pro Bowler’s return during Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- Steve thinks the Texans would be crazy to give Collins his normal workload. If there’s a snap count this week, the veteran is a tough sell in DFS contests.
- If you’re inclined to play Collins, Meghan likes pairing him with quarterback CJ Stroud ($6,800).
- Fellow wide receiver Tank Dell ($7,400) has struggled whenever Collins is in the lineup, which makes the second-year pro a fade.
