RB still in limbo for Week 6, WR week-to-week with hamstring issue
DeMeco Ryans on Nico Collins: “He’s in good sprits. It takes a couple of weeks for a hamstring. So we’ll evaluate him on a week-to-week basis.”
Ryans said he’s not sure if Joe Mixon will be available this week. Still trying to figure that out.

Nerdy Football Analysis: Collins’ injury occurred on his 67-yard touchdown catch late in the first quarter and did not appear to be too significant at the time, so it comes as a surprise that he might miss more than one game. Xavier Hutchinson stepped up in his absence, but fantasy managers should expect much more Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell if Collins cannot play in Week 6. As far as Mixon, he did not practice at all last week, which probably means he is off to a bad start if he hopes to play this weekend against the Patriots. Cam Akers, Dare Ogunbowale and maybe even Dameon Pierce could see work in his absence.
