| Derek Brown FantasyPros | Nico Collins has now managed back-to-back-to-back WR1 seasons (WR9, WR8, WR7) in fantasy points per game. It's impressive that Collins has managed to do this despite C.J. Stroud's struggles over the last two years. There's no reason to doubt his ability to do it again this season. Last year, among 109 qualifying receivers, Collins was 15th in target share (23.1%), eighth in receiving yards per game (74.5), fifth in deep targets (24), 16th in first-read share (28.1%), and 19th in first downs per route run (0.105, per Fantasy Points Data). Collins is an easy click in drafts with upside. If Stroud can flash even momentary glimpses of his rookie form in 2026, Collins could enter top five receiver territory this season. | Last season, Chris Olave had easily the most productive season of his NFL career as the WR7 in fantasy points per game. Olave spiked a career-high nine receiving touchdowns and proved yet again that he should be mentioned in the same breath as the most talented receivers in the NFL. Among 109 qualifying receivers, Olave was tenth in target share (27.2%), ninth in receiving yards per game (72.7), 19th in yards per route run (2.09), ninth in first-read share (33.8%) ,and 28th in first downs per route run (0.095, per Fantasy Points Data). Olave will again be Tyler Shough's unquestioned WR1 in what we expect to be an ascending offense. Olave is a locked-in WR1 for 2026 that could take another step if Shough progresses. |
| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | Nico Collins continued his run as Houston's unquestioned WR1 in 2025, posting his third 1,000-yard season in the last four years while finishing as a top-10 fantasy receiver once again. Despite battling injuries, Collins remained highly efficient and continued to dominate targets and red-zone usage in the Texans offense. Interestingly, his production actually improved without C.J. Stroud under center, though a bounce-back season from the young QB would elevate Collins' ceiling even further. At worst, Collins profiles as a reliable fantasy WR1/WR2 hybrid with one of the strongest WR efficiency profiles in the NFL. | Chris Olave finally delivered the WR1 fantasy season managers had been waiting for, finishing as a top-10 WR after commanding elite volume in Kellen Moore's fast-paced offense. The Saints wideout took his game to another level late in the year once Tyler Shough settled in at quarterback, finishing the fantasy playoffs as one of the highest-scoring receivers in football. Olave's target dominance and downfield role give him a very strong weekly floor, although the addition of rookie Jordyn Tyson could slightly cap his ceiling moving forward. Even if some touchdown regression hits, Olave remains a reliable WR1/WR2 option attached to one of the NFL's more aggressive passing attacks. |
