Stefon Diggs is on the IR and John Metchie has been ruled out, so expect Collins to get plenty of targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fourth-year receiver has already been C.J. Stroud&#8217;s go-to guy this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Collins leads the Texans in receptions (60), targets (88), yards (909) and touchdowns (six) despite missing five games with a hamstring injury. <br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He is targeted in 32.5% of his routes run, according to RotoWire, which ranks in the 99th percentile of all receivers. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His target share is sky-high and Dell was in the lineup for every game with Collins except one \u2014 and the results were insane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Collins hauled in 12 of 15 targets for 151 yards and a score against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dating back to last season, he&#8217;s cleared this line in three straight without Dell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it&#8217;s not like Baltimore&#8217;s secondary is elite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ravens give up the sixth-most receptions per game to wide receivers (13.3) and rank 25th in RBSDM.com&#8217;s defensive EPA per dropback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>:  Collins has cleared this line in three straight games without Dell dating back to last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-fa134a48-a478-432b-95e0-66881f0d337b\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pacheco over 42.5 rushing yards (-118):<\/strong> Pittsburgh&#8217;s rush defence is looking awfully suspect lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last weekend, the Steelers gave up 220 rushing yards to Derrick Henry and the Baltimore Ravens. The week before that, they allowed 131 against the Saquon Barkley-led Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pacheco is far removed from being Kansas City&#8217;s bell cow but he still gets enough carries where clearing this should be a cinch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pittsburgh ranks 27th in defensive EPA per rush over the last five games with an opposing RB clearing this mark in every game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Picks made at 3:30 p.m. ET on 12\/23\/2024<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas Day brings an electric NFL doubleheader loaded with prop betting opportunities.
