Wide Receiver · Houston Texans · Age 27 · Michigan · WR8 Half-PPR (Week 4 2026)
Nico Collins is ranked WR8 (overall #8) for the Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season in Half-PPR fantasy football by Hayden of The Underdog Football Show.
In 41 games with CJ Stroud, Collins is averaging 14.3 half PPR points (WR6) on WR11 usage and 96 air yards per game. In Week 1 without anyone established at receiver behind him, Collins was the WR9 on WR5 usage and 10 targets. His hamstrings always make us nervous, but the healthy results are that of a mid-range WR1. He's practiced in each of the first practices this week and told reporters "he's excited to be back." This matchup is excellent. The Texans project for 25.75 points (8th) while at home against a very beatable Cowboys defense. We'll see if they can get Joey Porter Jr. (back) on the field on a short week, but that'd be pushing things to the extreme, and CB2 Cobie Durant (hamstring) and CB3 Shavon Revel (knee) are missing. The rest of the secondary has been quite bad in isolation, even beyond the coverage busts. Zay Flowers had 104 yards on a couple dozen routes last week, while Stefon Diggs lit them up for a WR8 finish the week prior.
