Bye week (2026): 8
FantasyPros PPR rank (pulled 2026-05-21): 12

2026 Outlook

Elite receiver locked in as WR1 for Houston. Ranked #12 in PPR formats heading into 2026 with high upside in a revamped Texans offense. With Tank Dell expected to return from injury at some point during 2026, Collins will remain the primary target but could see defensive attention pulled away by Dell's eventual return. Collins publicly expressed strong support for Dell's recovery, emphasizing the team's unity and his eagerness to "keep spinning it" for Tank during his absence (per Texans won't rush Tank Dell return timeline).
