Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021

2015

Collins missed all of 2020 due to hip surgery, one of a number of injuries that toppled the Cowboys' once-formidable offensive line. The 28-year-old is expected to be 100 percent for Week 1 and should resume his duties as the starting right tackle.

Collins was projected to potentially be taken in the top half of the first round in 2015, but his connection to a murder investigation caused risk-averse front offices to pass him up completely. Cleared of any suspicion after the draft, the Cowboys quickly signed him as a UDFA, and while Collins will probably come off the bench as a rookie he figures to start at left guard or right tackle as soon as 2016.
