Jason Moore reaffirmed Nico Collins as a bona‑fide fantasy WR1 and said his ceiling remains top‑three overall. Collins averaged 19.0 fantasy points over the season’s first nine games— a 17‑game pace of 2,046 yards—before a hamstring strain and a collapsing offensive line stalled Houston’s passing attack. Moore expects bounce‑back efficiency under new OC Jerrod Johnson, who plans to lean further into C.J. Stroud’s play‑action deep game. With Stefon Diggs gone and Tank Dell rehabbing a late‑season ACL tear, Collins projects for a target share north of 28 percent. Moore highlighted that Collins owns the fourth‑most receptions of 20‑plus yards since 2024 and saw two long TDs wiped out by penalties after returning from injury, evidence the splash‑play profile is intact. The only caution flag is Houston’s shaky tackle situation, which could cap Stroud’s time to air out his 10‑plus‑yard throws (Collins’ aDOT ranks top‑12). Even if the line merely rebounds to league average, Moore forecasted 90–100 catches, 1,400‑plus yards and double‑digit scores, advocating for Collins in the late‑first/early‑second round of seasonal drafts.
