Maliek Collins Fantasy

The Houston Texans signed defensive tackle Maliek Collins to a two-year, $23 million contract extension on Wednesday that includes $20 million guaranteed, according to a source. Collins lands the extension after posting a career-high 37 tackles (27 solo), 3.5 sacks, nine tackles for loss, 10 QB hits and two passes defensed in 15 starts in his second year with the Texans in 2022. The 28-year-old isn't relevant in IDP fantasy leagues, but he's going to continue being a key cog on Houston's defensive line for the next two seasons. Collins was originally a third-round selection by the Dallas Cowboys in 2016 out of Nebraska. He has 165 career tackles (107 solo) and 20.5 sacks in his seven NFL seasons to date.

Houston Texans defensive lineman Maliek Collins (chest) exited Sunday's game versus the Las Vegas Raiders. The 27-year-old is questionable to return, so if he's done for the remainder of Week 7, he'll finish with only one tackle. Collins has 12 total tackles in 2022-23. As a result, there shouldn't be too many disappointed IDP managers if he misses time moving ahead.

The Houston Texans re-signed defensive tackle Maliek Collins to a two-year, $17 million deal on Tuesday that includes $8.5 million guaranteed, according to his agents, Drew Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha. Collins will return to the Texans as a valuable run-stuffer on the interior of the defensive line in Houston. The Texans were one of the worst run defenses in the NFL in 2021. Collins had 29 tackles (18 solo), nine tackles for loss, seven QB hits, one interception, a fumble recovery and 2.5 sacks in 15 starts in 2021 in his first year with the team. The 26-year-old was selected in the third round of the 2016 draft by the Dallas Cowboys out of Nebraska.
