The Texans Need to Feed Nico Collins More — Plus Darren Sproles’ Impact on Woody Marks

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: • Nico ranks 19th in catches • 13th in targets • Just 43rd in designed target share • Among the lower motion rates for top WRs So what’s going wrong? Is the Texans offense lacking creativity and aggressiveness when it comes to getting Nico Collins involved? Plus: Why Darren Sproles joining the Texans through the Bill Walsh NFL Diversity Coaching Fellowship could be HUGE for Woody Marks How Sproles’ expertise in vision, angles and pass catching can elevate Houston’s rookie RB Where does Jahwar Jordan fit on this Texans roster? Can he hold off veteran free agents and lock down the RB3 role? If you love Houston Texans news, Texans analysis, Nico Collins updates, Texans training camp talk, Woody Marks, C.J.
