Collins off the injury report, will play
Texans WR Nico Collins is off the injury report and will play against the Cowboys in Week 11. Collins was activated from injured reserve ahead of the team’s Week 10 game against the Lions but was ultimately held out of action for the fifth consecutive game. He proved his health in practice this week, upgrading to a full participant in the final two sessions before being removed from the injury report on Saturday. The Texans will look to get back in the win column against the Cowboys after dropping two straight.
Lamb’s back injury not a concern?
Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy said WR CeeDee Lamb’s back injury is “not of high concern.” Speaking Saturday, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters that wide receiver CeeDee Lamb’s back injury is “not of high concern” after the star wide receiver popped back up on the injury report Saturday, ultimately drawing a questionable tag for the team’s Monday Night Football contest against the Texans. The coach’s comments ease a bit of the uncertainty for fantasy managers that are likely counting on the alpha wide receiver’s production for Week 11.

Texans vs. Cowboys Prediction:
I’m going to roll the dice with Dallas as a home dog. Houston is unequivocally the better team, even if Dak Prescott were healthy. That said, the Texans haven’t played like it of late. While they did cover against the Lions last Sunday night, they also blew a significant halftime lead in the process. They also lost outright to a terrible Jets team in Week 8 and failed to cover in Week 7 versus the Colts. Ultimately, this is too big of a number to lay.
