Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (12) celebrates his touchdown during the third quarter against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Nov. 16, 2025.

Nico Collins $15,900 | FLEX $10,600
Nico reminded everyone he is a top-end receiver, ending the year with 71/1,117/6 while carrying a 25% target share. The Texans do well getting outside pass catchers down the field, with all of them having a 10-yard aDOT or higher. It’s the slot receivers who stay close (Kirk, Noel). With the Steelers giving up the third most passing yards this year, Nico has room to eat, considering PIT gave up 79% of its fantasy points to the outside receivers. 

  • Jalen Ramsey isn’t the player he used to be, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points this year to opposing WRs (nine per game) amongst CBs.  
  • Nico has five games over 21.5 DK points.

Stack Idea: Nico, Stroud, Fairbairn, Texans DST, and two Steelers
