Nico Collins was inactive at Indianapolis in Week 3 with a hamstring injury. He also missed Week 2 after getting hurt in practice. Sunday’s game is complete, so the earlier backup deadline has passed.
His next-game availability remains unresolved at this review cutoff. A Week 3 inactive listing is not a confirmed Week 4 absence, and a later return to practice would not automatically guarantee his usual workload.
Keep an available receiver alternative while awaiting Houston’s next reports. Review the completed receiving workload alongside those updates before prioritizing a waiver claim or changing a Week 4 lineup.
Dalton Schultz was active in Week 3 and Houston elevated receiver Lewis Bond. Neither fact alone establishes an inherited target total. The original advice to find a replacement before Sunday kickoff is retained as the context for this dated Week 3 guide, not a current deadline.
