Should You Start or Sit Collins in Week 12?
Just like we all thought, Nico Collins was a Davis Mills addition away from putting up the numbers we thought possible this summer.
Receiving Leaders From Mills This Season
- Collins: 294
- Dalton Schultz: 132
- Jayden Higgins: 101
- Xavier Hutchinson: 66
He toyed with spreading the ball around in the first half last week in Tennessee (130 passing yards and four of his targets had 20-32 receiving yards) before opting into the game theory optimal strategy of throwing the ball to the big athlete that no one can cover.
Smart man.
Collins is back inside my top 10 at the position this week. The Bills struggle against the run, not the pass, but if those struggles result in them crowding the line of scrimmage, good luck preventing a slate-breaking play on the perimeter.
