| 1/04/26 | Nico Collins will be a healthy scratch in Week 18. Texans will rest their star receiver Veteran wide receiver Nico Collins won’t play in this one today. A team source tells me the Texans want to rest their veteran wide receiver ahead of the playoffs. Expect a lot of action for their two rookies. Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel. Last week, each scored on the first two opening drives. A 75 and 43 yard TD for each. They will face a Colts defense without Sauce Gardner and a passing defense allowing 250 yds in the air. (Jane Slater on X) FF Today's Take: Week 18 strikes again. The Texans have enough depth at receiver with Higgins, Noel, Xavier Hutchinson, and Christian Kirk that they can safely rest Nico and likely handle the Colts with Riley Leonard at quarterback. Higgins and Noel are Flex options for Week 18. Source: https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16815... |
