Nico Collins is once again serving as the Houston Texans' No. 1 wide receiver in 2025.

Collins enters Week 14 with 795 receiving yards, which is over 400 yards more than the next closest wideout on the team.

That said, Collins hasn't gotten off to an ideal start in the Week 14 game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is Nico Collins playing tonight?

UPDATE: Collins is on the board with his first catch on the Texans' second drive.

Yes, Collins is active and healthy, and he even saw on target on the opening drive but couldn't connect with quarterback C.J. Stroud.

The Texans' first drive only saw on first down, so it didn't last long, leaving Collins short on opportunities to record his first catch.

We would anticipate Collins getting on the stat sheet soon.
