Some players can change an entire offense. We saw this last week, with Collins returning to the Texans and immediately boosting the entire offense. Last week, Collins finished the game with seven catches for 118 yards and two scores. In his two healthy games, Collins has finished as the WR9 and WR3. He also has one of the easiest schedules of all receivers over the rest of the season. Seriously, he only plays one game against a defense that is outside the top 16 for most fantasy points allowed to receivers through four weeks. Buckle up, because the Collins ride is just getting started.
