Hold – Nico Collins
Nico Collins has not had the start to the season I thought he was going to, as I drafted him in many leagues. A combination of bad offensive line play leading to bad quarterback play, and it all leads to mediocre WR play. Most managers drafted Collins in the late 1st or early 2nd round, and I know they aren’t happy about it, but I say stay the course. Houston has a very favorable schedule via the forward pass for the rest of the season. Nico is currently sitting at WR36, and I wouldn’t be shocked if he finishes in the top 15 at the end of the year if this offense can continue to look like it did last week against the 49ers. The offensive line held up, and Stroud completed 30 of 36 passes. Wheels up for Nico Collins and this offense.
Hold – Drake London
The Falcons offense, I seriously can’t figure out. They show up when you least expect it, and then no-show when they have cupcake matchups. London is another guy who was drafted early and has not played out how we imagined. The positive for London is the run game, with Bijan really putting pressure on defenses, but the downfall is inconsistent quarterback play. I truly feel that London missed Week 8 because the Falcons thought they would easily beat up on the Dolphins, so they gave him a week’s rest for his hip issue. Looking forward to a Week 9 matchup in New England. Boy, that really blew up in their face. London has had double-digit targets in 4 of his 6 games played this year, which is encouraging, but only two touchdowns. London will continue to be the focal point of this offense along with Bijan, so expect 7+ targets a week from him and just pray his numbers increase in the touchdown department.
