Our read
Written Oct 19, from his facts through last season
Collins has been on IR since before week 3 of 2026, and while he sits on that list he plays no games and our board ranks him below every available receiver at the position. Five weeks of the season have gone by with zero appearances. Even our preseason view only gave him 3 expected games and 6.4 points for the whole year, so there was almost nothing there to lose.
The little we saw of him makes it worse. Four games in 2025, 1.1 points a game, and he never once cleared the position's weekly median. He ran routes on 13.9% of Atlanta's snaps last year and pulled 2.2% of the targets, numbers that put him at the bottom of qualifying receivers. He changed teams from NYG to ATL, but the depth chart says nothing improved: sixth among the WRs, behind Drake London, Jahan Dotson, Olamide Zaccheaus and Zachariah Branch. London and Pitts alone took 53% of the targets in Atlanta in 2025.
There is a real cost baked into his profile too. Players in his spot lost 0.9 points a game on average from one season to the next, and he was already at 1.1. He has no ADP on record, which tells you where the league stood on him before the season. Nothing has changed to make us move. Let him go and use the spot on a player who can actually get on the field for you in week 6 of 2026.
