Nico Collins

Nico Collins caught 7-of-8 targets for 122 yards and a touchdown in the Texans’ Wild Card Round win against the Chargers.

Collins, who tied John Metchie for the team lead in targets, caugh Houston’s lone passing score on an inside-the-ten slant from C.J. Stroud in the first half. Collins also had a 41-yard grab against a Chargers coverage unit that has been stingy for much of the season. Houston’s sputtering offense is going to have to run through Collins if the Texans are going to make a deep postseason run. OC Bobby Slowik’s refusal to go pass heavy means Collins’ opportunities could be limited in any game script, however.
