Are the Houston Texans getting enough out of Nico Collins? We don’t think so.
On today’s Locked On Texans Podcast, we break down why Houston MUST do a better job involving their star receiver throughout the game. In the Texans’ lowest-scoring quarters, one thing keeps showing up: Nico Collins isn’t getting the football.
That’s a major issue for an offense that just paid Nico like a top-5 wide receiver.
We dive into the numbers:

Straight-up conversation: Why does it feel like there’s always an “IF” attached to CJ Stroud’s name? 🤔

🔥 “Stroud has a...
