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
Signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the Browns in March of 2025.
Moved to IR
The Browns placed Collins (quadriceps) on the injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Collins was carted off the field in the third quarter of last Sunday's loss to the 49ers with a severe hip injury. The defensive tackle requires season-ending surgery, so the move to injured reserve is no surprise. Shelby Harris is the likely starter at defensive tackle opposite Mason Graham for the rest of the 2025 campaign.
