Where should you draft Collins?
Collins should see another bump in his value this year with the arrival of Diggs, who will draw continual attention away from him. Seeing a significant bump in his stats from the year prior, Collins is primed for another big year.
The Texans offense also added RB Joe Mixon, who provides experience and shiftiness to complement an offense that is captained by QB C.J. Stroud.
Draft Collins slightly after Samuel, but don’t let him fall out of the 4th round in 10-team leagues. When healthy, he’s good for more than 90 catches and 1,200-plus yards. He’ll even more valuable in PPR leagues because of his expected increase in targets.
