Collins recorded three receptions on eight targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Collins stepped into an expanded role due to the absence of Chris Conley (knee) and an early departure for Brandin Cooks (knee). He wasn't particularly efficient in terms of his catch rate, though he still managed 8.4 yards per target. Each of Collins' receptions impressive, as he showed the ability to beat the Titans' secondary deep over the middle, deep down the sideline and also in contested situations. Though his rookie season didn't end with gaudy totals, Collins ended the season having recorded multiple receptions in each of his last five games. With Conley and Danny Amendola set to hit free agency, Collins could be in for a second-year jump in production.
Nico Collins Gains 35 yards in loss
Collins had two receptions (five targets) for 35 yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to San Francisco.
Analysis: Brandin Cooks drew the majority of Davis Mills' attention, leaving scraps for Collins and the rest of the Texans' thin receiving corps. The 2021 third-round pick remained second in the wide receiver pecking order, finishing third in targets behind Cooks (11) and Rex Burkhead (six). Collins doesn't receive enough volume in this offense to warrant attention from fantasy managers heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Titans.
