The Top WRs To Start in Week 5
Nico Collins, Houston Texans
Nico Collins has given us a pair of 7+ receptions with a TD performance through the first four weeks of the season.

— Houston Texans (@HoustonTexans)
Doubters will likely point to his Week 3 dud against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but his usage and production continue to scream that he is firmly planted in the WR2 conversation moving forward.
The offense continues to throw the ball consistently in 2023. C.J. Stroud is tied for the third-most pass attempts in the league (151) and has thrown the ball a minimum of 30 times each game.
Not to mention, Stroud is just one of four quarterbacks to average over 300 yards passing per game in 2023.

As long as Collins continues to see this volume, he should be in your starting lineup.
Zay Flowers, Baltimore Ravens
It finally took until Week 4 for rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers to post a game with under 10 fantasy points in PPR formats. His production last week was disappointing, but his worst game came against the league’s best pass defense.
The task gets much easier against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who gave up 168 yards to the aforementioned Collins this past Sunday.
With Rashod Bateman and Odell Beckham Jr. dealing with injuries, start Flowers with confidence in Week 5.
