Nico Collins has emerged as a focal point for Houston's passing attack under C.J. Stroud, posting 19 receptions for 249 yards and three touchdowns across three games despite missing Weeks 2 and 3 with a hamstring strain. His history of lower-body injuries, including a five-game absence in 2024, introduces ongoing durability concerns that could limit his 17-game total. The recent trade acquisition of Marvin Harrison adds competition for targets in an offense that has struggled to a 1-4 start. When healthy, Collins has commanded a high share of air yards and red-zone looks, with favorable upcoming matchups potentially supporting volume if the Texans stabilize their schedule and scheme.
