Fantasy Analysis
Collins is a risky Fantasy choice considering that his career is up in the air. Even if he decides to play, he'd be considered an injury risk and not worth owning as anything more than a low-rent, late-round flier. (Updated 04/25/2012).
Nick Collins is hoping to return at 100 percent in 2012 after a neck injury suffered in Week 2 last year ended his season. When healthy, Collins is a solid defensive back in IDP leagues. He had 70 total tackles, four interceptions and one touchdown in 2010, and he had 17 interceptions for three years prior to last year. Keep an eye on Collins and his recovery in training camp, and if he's healthy he could be considered a No. 3 Fantasy defensive back with upside. He's worth a late-round pick in all IDP formats if he's ready for Week 1. (Updated 4/23/12)
