Pouring in assists Collins had four points (2-3 FG), 10 assists, three steals and two rebounds across 15 minutes in Wednesday's 127-54 victory over DII Harris Stowe.
Impact Collins wasn't needed much on the offensive end in a blowout contest that saw the Billikens empty their entire bench, but he's already racked up 22 assists this season after posting 12 in Tuesday's opener against Central Arkansas. He should continue to be a reliable contributor in that area in formats that include the Atlantic 10 and should push to surpass his 6.1 apg total from a season ago.

Eight dimes against Golden Lions Collins had a season-high eight assists Saturday against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, finishing with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 FT) three steals, a block and two rebounds.
Impact Collins is a challenging player to peg for fantasy purposes. On one hand, he has at least six assists in each of the Billikens first three games. On the other hand, this was as season-high in scoring, having put up only two points in his first two outings. The team simply doesn't need him to score, as they are loaded with other options. That's going to keep the assist totals steady, so his appeal may be as a streaming option for roto players to charge the dimes category up a week at a time.
