Nico Collins: Hauls in two TDs against CardsCollins caught three of four targets for 85 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-20 win over Arizona.
Nico Collins caught 3-of-4 targets for 85 yards and two touchdowns in Houston's Week 15 win over the Cardinals.He kicked off Houston's offense by housing a middle-of-the-field target for 57 yards on their second play from scrimmage, then added a late touchdown in the fourth quarter on a goal-to-go target over the middle. Letting Nico Collins feast over the middle of the field, as it turns out, a good idea. It's his first two-score game since last year's Week 15 win over the Dolphins. Collins will be a WR1 in Week 16 against the Raiders.
Jayden Higgins caught his only target for four yards in Houston's Week 15 win over the Cardinals.The bad news is that the target tree narrowed and C.J. Stroud was content to check it down underneath to running backs, the good news is: Higgins still played 48-of-67 snaps and was more involved than most of the other non-Nico Collins wideouts. He'll still remain a WR4/FLEX play at best against the Raiders.
NFL Week 15 Recap: Houston Texans 40, Arizona Cardinals 30C.J. Stroud threw for 260 yards and three touchdowns as the Texans raced to an early lead and rolled past the Cardinals 40-20, extending Houston s winning streak to six games. Nico Collins topped 1,000 receiving yards for the third straight season while Arizona, despite big numbers from Trey McBride, dropped its sixth consecutive game.
C.J. Stroud completed 22-of-29 passes for 260 yards and three touchdowns in the Texans' 40-20, Week 15 win over the Cardinals.The Texans did not punt until the fourth quarter. Stroud put a bullet on Nico Collins for a score on Houston's opening possession over the middle, and Houston never looked back. He would later add an improvisational touchdown to Dalton Schultz and a third score to Collins to put the game out of reach after Arizona mounted a second-half comeback. The Texans will be handed a home game against the Raiders in Week 16, and with Stroud's current form, he's a viable-if-unexciting borderline QB1 in that one.
