Collins was surprisingly quiet as C.J. Stroud spread the ball out to nine different targets, including six wide receivers. Collins remains atop the wide-receiver depth chart and hadn't dipped below 55 receiving yards in a regular-season appearance since Week 7 of last season. The star wideout's recent track record suggests Collins will likely bounce back in Week 9 against the Chargers following Houston's Week 8 bye.
