The Texans host the Titans in an AFC South divisional rivalry game on Sunday. Here are the best Nico Collins prop bets to explore on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Nico Collins Prop Bets
Here are Nico Collins’ current prop bet lines at DraftKings Sportsbook: o/u 5.5 receptions and o/u 78.5 receiving yards. Collins is +120 to score a touchdown, +800 to score 2+ touchdowns and +600 to score the first touchdown of the game.
The star WR returned from the IR last week against the Cowboys and had a decent performance. Collins had four catches for 54 yards but also had a huge touchdown called back due to a penalty. If that play had counted, then Collins would have had well over 100 receiving yards with a touchdown in his first game back. He was having a monster season before his extended injury hiatus, averaging 113.4 receiving yards per game with three receiving touchdowns in five games.
With Stefon Diggs out for the season, Collins will need to play a massive role in the Houston offense for them to be a serious contender. Collins is one of the best receivers in the league going back to last season and should quickly be able to get back to his early-season numbers. The Titans can also be attacked through the air, so this could be the perfect opportunity for Collins to have a big game. Tennessee’s defense ranks 20th in EPA/dropback this season. They are a top-10 run defense by EPA, so Houston should push the ball down the field to exploit their weaknesses.
The best way to bet on Collins in this game is with his longest reception prop of 25.5 yards. Despite having a huge touchdown taken off the board last week, Collins still cleared his longest reception prop with a 33-yard catch. In fact, Collins has had a catch of 26 yards or more in every single game this season. Joe Mixon has been such a dangerous runner that the Titans will have to start loading the box to slow him down, which should open up one or two deep shots to Collins. Despite the procedural penalty, Collins also proved last week that he is 100% healthy and able to take a screen pass for a massive gain.
Pick: Nico Collins Longest Reception o25.5 Yards (-145)
