The Texans are hosting the Ravens on Christmas Day. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Baltimore is favored by 5.5 points and this game’s total is set at 46.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Nico Collins prop to consider from this contest.

Best Nico Collins Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Nico Collins O 91.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

With the Texans still fighting for the No. 3 seed and Tank Dell (knee) out for the season, Collins should have a huge performance on Christmas. In the only game Dell has missed this season, Collins caught 12 of his 15 targets for 151 yards vs. the Jaguars in Week 4, all of which set season highs for the wideout.

Even with Stefon Diggs active for that tilt, Collins saw a huge 38.5% target share. Like Dell, Diggs is out for the rest of the season and with the two receivers missing from the equation, Collins has a legitimate chance to see a target share over 40% on Christmas Day and this is an appealing matchup vs. the Ravens.

Baltimore is giving up the fourth-most receiving yards to players who line up wide this season (1,761), which is perfect for Collins, with 76.2% of his routes coming out wide this season. Baltimore’s league-best rush defense forces opposing offenses to throw against it and C.J. Stroud likely will approach 40 pass attempts with the Texans being 5.5-point underdogs on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Collins ranks fourth in the NFL in YPRR (2.9) and he is a terrific bet to surpass 91.5 receiving yards in this situation.
