Nico Collins Week 17 Outlook - Texans at Chargers

By Ellis Johnson (FantasyPros), Wed, Dec 24th 2025, 6:28pm EST

In what should have been an eruption spot for Collins against the Raiders, he had his fourth-worst fantasy finish score of the season. Sometimes fantasy football just doesn't make sense. This week, the Texans have an even tougher match against the Chargers. The Chargers just held CeeDee Lamb to 51 yards last week. However, they allowed George Pickens to have 130 yards and a score. Both these defenses have been playing great down the stretch, and it may be a tricky spot for Collins to have a big week. That said, he is the motor of this offense adn should manage a fine fantasy day despite the matchup.
