2025 Fantasy Outlook
Collins hooked up with the Browns on a two-year contract during the offseason and should start at defensive tackle alongside 2025 first-round draft pick Mason Graham. The nine-year veteran started all 17 games for San Francisco in 2024 and recorded 5.0 sacks for a second straight season. Cleveland was a destination spot for Collins, who will reunite with defensive line coach Jacque Cesaire, with whom the DT spent two seasons while in Houston. The Browns are also an ideal fit in that they play a traditional 4-3 scheme, in which Collins has thrived over his nine NFL seasons. Read Past Outlooks
