5. WR Nico Collins – MICHIGAN
Before Bell blew up in the wide receiver core this season, the top receiver on the team was Nico Collins. Collins has 25 catches for 484 yards and four touchdowns. He is a deep threat and a huge red zone target for Patterson. If Bell is getting more attention from his recent success, Collins could be left with one-on-one opportunities and easier challenges for him, giving him more chances to get the football.
Indiana has the 10th ranked pass defense, but has allowed 12 touchdowns and only has three interceptions. It won’t be an easy game for the offense as they will have to grind for their yards, but if Collins and Bell can blow up for the passing game, that can help the ground game get going and open up the playbook.
