I. Player News & Analysis

Trends


"Collins is entering his fifth NFL season having established himself as one of the league's top receivers over the last two years. After breaking out with an 80-1,297-8 receiving line in 15 games in 2023, Collins posted a 68-1,006-7 line in 12 games last season. He was a top-10 fantasy WR on a per-game basis in both seasons. The missed games are a concern (he's missed at least two games in all four seasons), but he offsets that with elite play (top 3 in YPRR two years in a row). With Stefon Diggs gone and Tank Dell uncertain to play in 2025, Collins is ticketed for massive usage as C.J. Stroud's clear No. 1 target. He's a solid WR1 option in fantasy."


"It was a solid day for Collins, highlighted by long gains of 24 and 14 yards as well as a 10-yard touchdown. However, he finished third on the team in receiving yards and was out-targeted by Dalton Schultz. That was likely affected by game script -- C.J. Stroud attempted only 10 passes in the second half and was benched for most of the fourth quarter -- but Collins has now seen six or fewer targets and recorded under 55 receiving yards in three of five games this season. His three touchdowns have covered up some of that lack of volume, but Collins hasn't put up the big reception or target totals expected entering the season."
