Texans WR Nico Collins returns to practice Wednesday

Sep 30, 2026

Nico Collins returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury two weeks ago.

Collins missed Houston’s past two games, while head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that the team was hopeful to have him back against Dallas. His official participation level was not immediately available.

Fantasy Impact:

Returning to practice gives Collins a legitimate chance to rejoin the lineup Sunday, although one session does not guarantee he will be cleared. His Thursday workload should provide a stronger indication of his availability. Collins belongs in fantasy lineups as a top-12 option if active, while his return would send Hutchinson, Boutte and Noel back to desperation-play territory. It would also improve C.J. Stroud’s outlook after Houston’s offense struggled during Collins’ two-game absence.

Jets HC: Adonai Mitchell considered week-to-week

Aaron Glenn says RB Breece Hall, LG Dylan Parham, WR Adonai Mitchell, TE Mason Taylor and LB Kiko Mauigoa won't practice and are all considered "week to week."

Fantasy Impact:

Mitchell’s extended absence keeps Isaiah Williams in the secondary WR role, though Williams remains a low-ceiling option behind Wilson. Sadiq has the most interesting opportunity after producing more than 100 receiving yards in Week 3 with Mitchell and Mason Taylor sidelined. Taylor was also called week-to-week Wednesday, but that designation was initially reported last week.

Jayden Daniels limited in London; Commanders targeting Friday decision

Commanders HC Dan Quinn said QB Jayden Daniels will be limited in practice this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Daniels’ limited designation is encouraging for his broader recovery, but Wednesday’s walkthrough offered little evidence that he is ready to play. Thursday and Friday will provide more meaningful tests of his elbow and ability to operate while wearing the brace. Mariota remains the appropriate Week 4 placeholder, though Daniels’ return would raise the ceilings of McLaurin, Diggs and the entire Washington offense.

Packers place WR Jayden Reed on injured reserve

Packers are placing WR Jayden Reed on injured reserve due to his neck injury, per sources. Reed is out indefinitely if not for the season as he continues his recovery. He posted on IG today, “11 out.”

Fantasy Impact:

Reed’s move to injured reserve confirms that this will be an extended absence and leaves open the possibility that his season is over. Watson and Golden should continue to operate as Jordan Love’s top two receivers, with Kraft maintaining a prominent role over the middle. Moore replaced much of Reed’s slot usage after the injury, though a rotation involving Melton could make that secondary role difficult to trust outside of deep leagues.
