Carnell Tate vs Nico Collins
Nico Collins holds a 23.3% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/28/2026
THE CASE FOR TATE
Tate is 21.5 with premium insulation and multiple years to appreciate, which matters in dynasty even before he’s a weekly starter. If his role grows into a steady top-2 option in his offense, his market value can jump quickly and sustainably. At a 5.1% KTC edge already, you’re getting the younger asset with the better chance to gain value rather than bleed it.
THE CASE FOR COLLINS
Collins is the proven, high-ceiling production bet who can be a difference-maker for contenders right now. He has already shown he can command alpha-level usage and spike weeks, and that’s the hardest thing to buy in-season. Even at 27, he can realistically give you multiple strong years, and points are what win titles.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Nico Collins—take the bankable weekly points and upside over the small market gap.
Carnell Tate—lean into age, value insulation, and the higher probability of appreciation over the next 12–24 months.
With only a 5.1% gap, treat this as roster-fit: contenders pick Collins, rebuilders pick Tate.

If you’re moving Collins for Tate, I’d ask for a small sweetener (e.g., a 2nd/3rd tier add), and if you’re moving Tate for Collins, I’m fine paying that small add as a contender.
Superflex?
SF doesn’t materially change this WR-vs-WR call—your team direction and need for immediate points should drive the decision.
