Bucky Irving is listed as a limited participant in practice due to a foot/shoulder injury, according to USA Today. Mike Evans is expected to miss \"most of the season\" after suffering a broken collarbone, as per NBC Sports. The sources do not provide a definitive answer for Week 1 specifically, but they do indicate the ongoing injury statuses for these players.\n- When Is Nico Collins Coming Back - Week 4 Fantasy Football Injury Return Update (2026) (https://www.rotoballer.com/when-is-nico-collins-coming-back-week-4-fantasy-football-injury-return-update-2026/1953586): Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) has missed the last two games for his team after sustaining a hamstring strain in practice after Week 1. Houston has stumbled out of the gate to a 0-3 start to the season, and they need Collins back in the mix to get their offense going. [...] Since picking up the injury in Wednesday's practice after Week 1, Collins has not been able to return to the practice field yet, but that is expected to change this week.\n\nCoach DeMeco Ryans said that the Texans are “hopeful” to get Nico Collins back for their Week 4 matchup with the Cowboys. ESPN's Adam Schefter also reported that there is a \"decent chance\" that Collins will return this week. [...] When he initially sustained the Grade 1 hamstring, it was said to be a 2-to-3-week injury, which puts his potential return right on schedule. The team did not put Collins on IR, since it seemed the most likely scenario that he could return before four weeks.\n- Fantasy Football News - Fantasy Footballers Podcast (https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/fantasy-football-news): Nico Collins\n\n### Nico Collins\n\nWR HOU\n\n## Officially held out Wednesday\n\nCollins (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report. [...] Hutchinson is in line to serve as the Texans' No. 1 receiver for the second consecutive game in Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Colts due to Nico Collins (hamstring) being ruled inactive for the contest. [...] Kayshon Boutte\n\n### Kayshon Boutte\n\nWR HOU\n\n## Remaining in No. 2 role Sunday\n\nBoutte is expected to remain in the No. 2 receiver role for Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Colts due to Nico Collins (hamstring) being ruled inactive for the contest.\n- Fantasy football injuries, inactives, cheat sheet Week 8 - The Athletic (https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6740610/2025/10/23/fantasy-football-injuries-inactives-cheat-sheet-week-8): Nico Collins, Christian Kirk, WRs, HOU: Collins is in concussion protocol and has been ruled out for Week 8. With Kirk also out, the Texans will rely on Xavier Hutchinson, Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel. TE Dalton Schultz is a great start option this week. [...] Bucky Irving, RB, TB: Irving has already been ruled out for Week 8, making Rachaad White a low-end RB1/RB2. This is another “forget Week 7” instance. The Tampa Bay offense just never got going. In Weeks 5-6, White averaged 20.35 PPR points per game, 3.5 targets and 15.5 rushes, with nine total red zone touches. [...] Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, WRs, TB: With Evans on IR and Godwin already ruled out, Emeka Egbuka is in for a big week. He’s had another week to recover from a hamstring injury and should be Tampa Bay’s top target. While Egbuka only scored 9.8 PPR points in Week 7, he was targeted 12 times. He could have a top-five WR finish this week. Forget Week 7. Tez Johnson will likely take Evans’ spot and is a great Flex option this week, should he still be on your waiver wire.
