Houston Texans star receiver Nico Collins is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s matchup against the Detroit Lions in Week 10. 

Texans still are listing WR Nico Collins as questionable for Sunday night.

However, there hasn’t been an official report on Collins’ status, making him a tricky player to bet on in the prop market.

#Texans WR Tank Dell, dealing with a back injury, is expected to play tonight, source said.

Despite just one day of practice, Nico Collins is questionable and a game-time decision.

With Tank Dell questionable and Stefon Diggs out for the season with a torn ACL, Collins – if he plays – could walk back into a massive role in Week 10. 

Best Nico Collins Prop Bets for Week 10 vs. Lions

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

• Receptions: N/A
• Receiving Yards: N/A
• Anytime TD: +130

Oddsmakers are playing things safe with Collins still on Sunday morning, as there is a chance that he won't play in this game. 

However, by activating Collins for Sunday Night Football, the Texans coul be thinking that the star receiver will give it a go.

If you want to bet on Collins to score at +130, it may be a solid bet since he’s already found the end zone three times in five games, including his final two games before he was injured. 

Detroit has given up the ninth-most passing yards in the NFL this season, but opponents have only thrown for six touchdowns against Detroit. Can CJ Stroud and Collins add to that total in Week 10?
