New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins was a non-factor in the offense early in the season, but is starting to make an impact. Over the last four games, Hollins has finished with 64 receiving yards or more. The absence of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) has led to more targets coming Hollins' way. Once Boutte returns, Hollins figures to see his role reduced, but he should still stay in the gameplan. Hollins is someone to consider as a flex option for the upcoming Week 12 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins caught four of his five targets for 64 yards during Thursday's Week 11 win over the New York Jets. The veteran receiver continues to produce at a high level with teammate Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) sidelined. Hollins now has 19 catches and 268 yards over his last four games, tallying 10+ fantasy points (PPR) in three of those four contests. While we could see his volume get slightly scaled back if Boutte returns in Week 12, there's no denying that Hollins has established himself as one of Drake Maye's favorite targets so far. He should continue to be a mid-to-low WR3/flex for Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Nov 14, 2025 12:44 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins should again benefit from a diminished WR room on Thursday night when his team squares off with the New York Jets. Hollins has posted solid production in two of his last three appearances, and will get another opportunity to do so in Week 11 with teammate Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) set to miss this week's contest. Boutte exited New England's win over Tampa Bay early, and Hollins erupted for his first 100-yard performance since 2022. Quarterback Drake Maye has done well to spread the ball around this season, although Hollins is now officially the room's snap leader and has the best chance at picking up targets vacated by his teammate. He'll be a low-end flex option for his outing with New York.
Nov 13, 2025 11:18 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has emerged as quarterback Drake Maye's favorite target lately, and he should continue to remain highly involved against the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football in Week 11. Hollins has 15 catches over his last three games, including at least six catches in two of those three contests. Last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) sidelined, Hollins caught six of his 10 targets for 106 yards. This was his first 100-yard game since 2022 with the Las Vegas Raiders. Not only has the 32-year-old receiver earned Maye's trust, but he'll also remain a central piece of the game plan with Boutte sidelined for a second consecutive week. Hollins was a bit of a non-factor at the start of the year, but he has started to emerge as a household name and should rank as a low-end WR3/flex against a struggling Jets squad.
Nov 13, 2025 12:34 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins will be one of the more popular waiver-wire targets this week after leading the team in catches (six), targets (10), and receiving yards (106) in the 28-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10. However, Hollins' fantasy value going forward will probably be tied to the health of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), who was inactive on Sunday due to injury. With Boutte sidelined, Hollins led all Pats receivers with a season-high 79% of the offensive snaps and was a favorite target of ascending second-year quarterback Drake Maye. Hollins will probably be more boom/bust for fantasy purposes when Boutte returns to the fold, but the 32-year-old veteran could be a sneaky WR4/flex play in Week 11 this Thursday night in a plus matchup against the division-rival New York Jets if Boutte misses a second straight game. Hollins is only rostered in 1% of Yahoo leagues.
Nov 11, 2025 12:56 PM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins should lead the position group in snap share after Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) was ruled out for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Hollins played 63 percent of the snaps last week against the Atlanta Falcons, which led the team. With that being said, leading the team in snaps doesn't necessarily equate to more volume. Hollins should continue to get on the field often, but Stefon Diggs and DeMario Douglas will likely be Drake Maye's favorite targets in the passing game, along with tight end Hunter Henry. Hollins has been held to two or fewer catches in five of his last six games, with the lone exception being a seven-catch breakout in Week 8. He certainly has upside, but we're a bit wary of starting him in fantasy football given the inconsistency of New England's receivers as a whole. Diggs is the only Patriots wide receiver who should be started with confidence.

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has been one of the most underrated factors of the team's 6-2 start to the season. He has served as a reliable possession receiver who offers sure hands and an important veteran presence. Although he has just 18 catches through eight games, a big chunk of those receptions came last Sunday. In Week 8 against Cleveland, Hollins caught all seven of his targets for 89 yards. He has consistently earned playing time, logging more snaps than Stefon Diggs in three of the last four games. Under-the-radar production isn't exactly a new thing for Hollins, who quietly led the entire Buffalo Bills team in receiving touchdowns last year. Now contributing with the Patriots, he's offering similar value. This week, Hollins plays in a revenge game scenario against his old team, the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, but Hollins still has low-end WR3/flex value in deeper leagues.
Nov 1, 2025 9:59 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins had his best game of the season in Week 8, recording seven catches for 89 yards on seven targets in a win over the Cleveland Browns. The 32-year-old has now hauled in 18 catches for 208 yards and two touchdowns on 21 targets across eight games in 2025. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has regularly spread the ball around to several different receivers so far this year, which makes Hollins tough to trust on a week-to-week basis. Still, Hollins has at least consistently been on the field for New England, playing at least 66% of the team's offensive snaps in each of the last two weeks. Hollins profiles as a desperation deep-league flex play for fantasy managers heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, but he could be a waiver-wire target if he sees a heavy target share for the second straight week.
Oct 31, 2025 10:33 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has started to emerge as a potential fantasy football option after an impressive outing against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8. On Sunday, Hollins caught all seven of his targets for 89 yards while handling a season-high 72 percent snap share. He now has 138 yards over his last two games. The veteran receiver has officially supplanted DeMario Douglas as the team's new No. 3 receiver behind Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte. However, if you're purely talking about workload, Hollins is actually the No. 2, because he has registered more snaps than Diggs in each of the last two games, as well as three of the last four. This doesn't mean managers should rush to add Hollins over Diggs, and the size of your league should dictate whether you try to add Hollins off waivers at all. He's certainly worth picking up for the back end of rosters in leagues with at least 14 teams, as his snap share, target share, and productivity have been very promising. He has a solid track record, too. Hollins led the Bills in receiving touchdowns last year, scoring more than players like Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Dalton Kincaid. In essence, managers should feel confident that Hollins' big week isn't necessarily a fluke, and that he'll continue to compete for more playing time going forward. He's a fringe top-50 fantasy receiver as he takes on Atlanta in Week 9.
Oct 29, 2025 1:42 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins already has two touchdowns through four games and will look to build on that total during Sunday's Week 5 contest against his old team, the Buffalo Bills. Hollins has just seven catches for 42 yards this year, playing over 50 percent of the snaps in three of his four games. However, he has still managed to cross the goal line twice, building on a strong 2024 campaign with the Bills that saw him lead the team with five touchdown grabs. While Hollins would have some low-end standalone value by scoring a touchdown, that's impossible to predict or guarantee this week, especially against a Bills defense allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points to receivers. Hollins, 32, has WR3/flex upside, but it's far more likely that he finishes Week 5 off the fantasy radar.
Oct 4, 2025 10:38 AM EST
The Athletic's Chad Graff writes that New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins "has probably been the best option" in training camp to start outside across from Stefon Diggs. DeMario Douglas is slated to start in the slot for the team in three-wide sets under offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Graff guesses that Hollins will "get the most snaps there in Week 1." Kayshon Boutte had 589 receiving yards last year (Hollins had just 378). Beyond Hollins and Boutte, the best long-term option is rookie third-rounder Kyle Williams. Kendrick Bourne and Javon Baker were released on Wednesday. It's notable for the 31-year-old Hollins, but it won't be a big enough role for fantasy managers to take notice in 12-team leagues, especially with second-year quarterback Drake Maye expected to have plenty of growing pains in his first year as the full-time starter.
Aug 28, 2025 6:06 PM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins caught all three of his targets for 38 yards during Saturday's preseason contest. The veteran receiver is competing for a roster spot in New England, with Kendrick Bourne and Efton Chism III representing the biggest obstacles in his way. Saturday's performance will certainly help his case. Not only did he finish second on the team in catches and receiving yards, but he also showcased physical talent by making a difficult toe-tap catch on an inaccurate pass thrown by Drake Maye near the sideline. Hollins scored at least four touchdowns in three of his last four seasons, including a team-high five last year in Buffalo. However, he's not an immediate threat to produce in New England and should be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues for the time being.
Aug 16, 2025 7:10 PM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has been receiving reps with the first-team offense since returning from the active/physically unable to perform list, according to Evan Lazar of Patriots.com. New England signed Hollins to a two-year contract this past offseason, and he appears to be in line for a starting role. Hollins turns 32 years old in September, and the Patriots will be his sixth team in eight NFL seasons. In 17 games (13 starts) for the Buffalo Bills in 2024, Hollins recorded 31 catches for 378 yards and five touchdowns. Third-year wide receiver Kayshon Boutte could be Hollins' main threat to playing time alongside New England's top two wideouts, Stefon Diggs and DeMario Douglas.
Aug 6, 2025 7:46 PM EST
The New England Patriots have "significant plans" for veteran wide receiver Mack Hollins, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss. Hollins signed a two-year contract with New England in free agency after spending the 2024 season with the Buffalo Bills. Entering his age-32 season in 2025, Hollins has mostly played a supporting role as a run blocker and core special-teams player throughout his seven-year NFL career. However, he had his most productive year as a receiver in 2022 while playing under current Patriots' offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels when McDaniels was the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. That season, Hollins played 17 games (16 starts) and caught 57 passes for 690 yards and four touchdowns. He appears to be the favorite to start on the outside in New England alongside Stefon Diggs and slot receiver DeMario Douglas. The buzz around Hollins should cool fantasy enthusiasm for Patriots rookie receiver Kyle Williams, who looks to be blocked off from regular playing time.
Aug 1, 2025 4:28 PM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (undisclosed) has been activated off the active/physically unable to perform list and is participating in the team's training camp practice on Thursday, according to Doug Kyed of The Boston Herald. Hollins missed the beginning part of training camp with an undisclosed ailment. In 17 games last season with the Buffalo Bills, Hollins recorded 31 catches for 378 yards and five touchdowns. The soon-to-be 32-year-old has been known primarily for his work as a blocker and special teamer, but he's shown the ability to win down the field as a receiver at certain points in his career. Stefon Diggs and DeMario Douglas appear locked in as New England's top two receivers, so Hollins joins a crowded WR3 competition that includes Kyle Williams, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Javon Baker, and Ja'Lynn Polk.
Jul 31, 2025 11:34 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (undisclosed) was placed on the active/Physically Unable to Perform list. The wideout agreed to a two-year, $8.4 million deal with the Pats in March after bouncing around the National Football League throughout his career. He appeared in 112 regular-season games for the Eagles, Dolphins, Raiders, Falcons, and Bills, totaling 162 receptions for 2,069 yards and 15 touchdowns. Hollins spent last season in Buffalo, where he had a career-high five touchdowns. He'll have plenty of competition for targets in New England, with Stefon Diggs (knee), DeMario Douglas, Kendrick Bourne, Hunter Henry, and Kayshon Boutte all vying for the attention of quarterback Drake Maye. With that in mind, Hollins may have a tough time being a consistent fantasy producer, although he very well could have a few above-average fantasy outings during the 2025 campaign. Hollins is eligible to be removed from the PUP list as soon as he is medically cleared.
Jul 19, 2025 8:36 PM EST
The New England Patriots have agreed to a deal with free-agent wide receiver Mack Hollins on Monday. The two sides have agreed on a two-year, $8.4 million deal where Hollins can earn up to $10.4 million in total. This is a nice landing spot for Hollins who was previously coached by Pats offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels while in Las Vegas. Hollins hasn't been very impressive on the field outside of his lone season on the Raiders where he hauled in 57 receptions for 690 receiving yards and four touchdown in 2022. He'll be a nice depth piece to go along with DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, and Kendrick Bourne.
Mar 10, 2025 7:30 PM EST
ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that the Houston Texans might look to fill in around No. 1 wide receiver Nico Collins this offseason with more targeted, role-oriented acquisitions. Graziano mentions Buffalo Bills impending unrestricted free-agent wideout Mack Hollins specifically as a potential target for Houston. Many teams like what the Bills did at receiver in 2024 by adding role-player types like Hollins that are more than willing to do the dirty work. Houston's acquisition of Stefon Diggs last offseason didn't work out after he suffered a season-ending torn right ACL. In addition to Diggs' injury, Tank Dell also suffered a season-ending knee injury that could keep him out for all of 2025, so the Texans will need to retool their wideout room this offseason. Hollins had only 378 receiving yards on 31 receptions for Buffalo, but he did add a career-high five touchdowns in 17 regular-season games.
Feb 9, 2025 12:47 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins caught three of his four targets for 73 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's AFC Championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The veteran receiver's biggest play of the game came on a 34-yard touchdown strike from Josh Allen. While Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman were the top names in Buffalo's wide receiver corps this year, Hollins quietly put together a strong campaign. Not only did he register 482 receiving yards between the regular season and playoffs, but he also led the entire Bills roster with six receiving touchdowns. The 31-year-old is slated to hit unrestricted free agency in March, and Hollins' impressive 2024 campaign could encourage prospective teams to view him as a strong No. 3 wide receiver option moving forward.
Jan 27, 2025 2:00 AM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins remains an unappealing fantasy option heading into Sunday's AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs. While Hollins is actually the Bills' receiving touchdowns leader he had five during the regular season he hasn't carved out enough volume to justify deploying him in fantasy leagues or bet slips week in and week out. The 31-year-old has just one catch in each of the Bills' two playoff games, and he only had a pair of receptions when Buffalo hosted the Chiefs back in Week 11. If there's anything working in Hollins' favor, it's the fact that the Chiefs allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to slot receivers from Weeks 12 to Week 17. Hollins ranked 42nd among NFL receivers in slot snaps this year, which is impressive considering he ranked just 69th in total snaps. Extra slot opportunities could give him a slightly higher ceiling this week, but his low volume is still just too concerning, especially as Khalil Shakir handles most of the slot snaps.
