2023 Fantasy Outlook
Drafted 16th overall in 2021, Collins didn't start as an inside linebacker until his second season, when he reached triple-digit sacks while showing well in coverage. After spending the last two seasons in Philadelphia having to watch Micah Parsons move all around the Dallas defense, new head coach Jonathan Gannon saw in Collins a similarly athletic game-wrecker he could deploy off the edge as well as in the middle. How many snaps the Tulsa product sees in each role is to be determined, but an increase on his sack total of two from 2022 should help compensate for any lost tackles. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Will play at Philadelphia
Collins (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing practice Wednesday, Collins was able to manage a limited practice Thursday and upgrade to a full practice Friday, allowing him to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend. He will likely start on the edge in Week 17.

James Cook struggled against the Chargers on Saturday, but he dominated Buffalo's backfield snaps and touches to an extent previously unseen this season.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Despite being a first-round pick of the Cards last offseason, Collins was blocked from any sort of consistent role due to the presence of seven-year pro Jordan Hicks and 2020 first-rounder Isaiah Simmons. But Collins was active for all 17 games, turning 361 snaps between defense and special teams into 25 tackles and three pass defenses. After the March release of Hicks, Collins finally will get a shot to fulfill his potential in the middle of Arizona's defense alongside Simmons, but his output could be inconsistent with all of Simmons and starting safeties Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson vying for tackles.
