The Read: Collins is what happens when a traits bet stops asking permission and becomes the structure. The size was always obvious, but the Houston version added route confidence, explosive efficiency, touchdown gravity, and the quarterback ecosystem needed to turn a big boundary receiver into a weekly dynasty hammer. The only real tax is availability plus a talented Texans target room. When healthy, Collins is not a complementary piece. He is the outside stress point that makes the rest of the passing game breathe.
