Fantasy Football Player Notes

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.

It's impossible to trust Jayden Higgins as a flex play this week. Higgins has disappointed in each of the last three weeks with nice matchups. Yes, this is partially a CJ Stroud issue, but also Dalton Schultz is the clear WR2 in this offense. Higgins hasn't had more than three receptions or 34 receiving yards in a game since Week 13. This week, he faces a Bolts' pass defense that has allowed the eighth-fewest receiving yards per game and the fourth-fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Sit Higgins.
