New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) was placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. Hollins was already expected to sit out in Week 17. The 32-year-old is now done for the rest of the regular season and won't play again unless the Pats make a deep playoff run. The loss of Hollins is pretty significant, considering he has seen 17 targets over the last two games. The absence of Hollins should mean larger roles for DeMario Douglas (hamstring) and Kyle Williams in the passing attack. Fantasy managers should view Williams as a possible deep league FLEX option with Hollins unavailable for the Week 17 matchup against the New York Jets. As for Douglas, he is questionable to play on Sunday but should see an increased role with Hollins and Kayshon Boutte (concussion) sidelined if active.

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 17 matchup with the Jets, as an abdominal injury has kept him from practicing this week. Hollins was one of seven Patriots players ruled out on Friday, along with fellow wideout Kayshon Boutte (concussion). With two of New England's most reliable downfield threats set to miss the game and DeMario Douglas (hamstring) carrying a questionable tag of his own, Stefon Diggs and tight end Hunter Henry could be in line for staggering target shares. Meanwhile, rookie Kyle Williams, who caught a 37-yard touchdown pass in Sunday night's comeback win, becomes an upside-driven desperation flex against a Jets defense that has struggled against the pass.

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) remains absent during Friday's practice, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. The team's veteran wideout has been unable to practice all week after suffering this abdominal injury during their victory over the Ravens last weekend. Given that he has yet to step on the practice field, Hollins will likely face a difficult challenge to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Jets. Managers should keep a close eye on his status on Friday's final injury report, but given his current trajectory, he will likely sit out. Over the last two games, Hollins has seen his target share climb sharply, seeing 8.5 targets per game and tallying an average of 55.0 yards per game. If Hollins were to sit out, managers should expect Stefon Diggs to operate as the clear WR1 while tight end Hunter Henry earns an uptick in opportunities.

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) failed to practice again on Thursday as the team prepares to take on the hosting New York Jets in Week 17. Hollins had one of his better games of the campaign in New England's 28-24 victory over Baltimore last Sunday, reeling in 7-of-9 targets for 69 yards. However, he presumably picked up the issue in the win, despite leading the Pats' WR room in snaps. With teammate Kayshon Boutte (concussion) following the same practice regimen as the veteran, and DeMario Douglas (hamstring) limited with an injury of his own, New England is in danger of being down several critical offensive pieces. As it stands, Stefon Diggs, Kyle Williams, and Efton Chism III are the only other active wideouts without a designation.

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) could see a larger role on Sunday afternoon when they face the New York Jets. During their victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night, wideout Kayshon Boutte and running back TreVeyon Henderson both exited with a concussion and are now in concussion protocol, which could open up more targets for Hollins this weekend. However, Hollins is also dealing with an abdominal injury himself, as he was unable to suit up during Wednesday's practice. Managers should not continue to monitor his status throughout the week, as he could have sleeper appeal in deeper three-WR leagues given his potential for a larger role, especially if Boutte cannot pass through the league's protocol. Since Week 11, Hollins has logged at least 75% of the snaps in all but one of his last six games and is averaging a strong 8.5 targets per game over his last two. He would carry FLEX upside in deeper leagues if Boutte cannot play.
Dec 25, 2025 10:14 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) was not available for the team's first practice of the week with an abdominal issue. The veteran wideout caught seven of nine targets for 69 yards in a Week 16 win over the Ravens, and he could be in line for another high-floor fantasy performance if he's able to suit up in Week 17. Third-year wideout Kayshon Boutte (concussion) is currently in the league's concussion protocol and also missed Wednesday's practice. If Boutte misses Sunday's divisional matchup, Hollins could assume more of a downfield role against a Jets defense that has allowed 676 passing yards and eight total touchdowns across the last two games. With Boutte sidelined earlier this year with a hamstring injury, Hollins enjoyed his best two-game stretch of the season, including a WR28 finish against the Jets in Week 11. His status will need to be monitored throughout the week, but if Hollins clears the injury report by Sunday, he has flex potential for championship weekend.

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has another opportunity to produce as a solid flex play in fantasy football ahead of Sunday Night Football against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. Hollins has been heavily involved in the Patriots' offense, averaging six targets and 9.2 full-PPR fantasy points over his last seven contests. During that span, he ranks as the overall WR40. He has also played at least 75% of the offensive snaps in each of his last five games. As a result, he has been getting more involved than Stefon Diggs and has similar participation to Kayshon Boutte. Last week against the Buffalo Bills, Hollins totaled 136 air yards, which ranked eighth-most among all NFL receivers. Quarterback Drake Maye trusts Hollins as one of his most reliable receivers, and his specific role bodes well for his Week 16 outlook. Of all the fantasy points that Baltimore has surrendered to wide receivers in 2025, 69% of those points have been recorded by receivers who play on the perimeter. That mark ranks ninth-highest in the NFL, and it bodes well for Hollins, who has played 77.3% of his snaps out wide. Hollins isn't the flashiest name, but his role, consistency, reliability, and involvement make him a solid WR3/flex play for Week 16. He ranks as the overall WR46 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings.
Dec 20, 2025 1:04 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins continues to establish himself as a potential waiver wire option in deeper leagues ahead of Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens. Hollins has been heavily involved in the Patriots' offense, averaging six targets and 9.2 full-PPR fantasy points over his last seven contests. During that span, he ranks as the overall WR40. He has also played at least three-quarters of the offensive snaps in each of his last five games. The veteran receiver is coming off an impressive, high-volume contest against his old team, the Buffalo Bills, in which he converted eight targets into four catches for 41 yards. During that Week 15 contest, he totaled 136 air yards, which ranked eighth-most among all NFL wideouts. Quarterback Drake Maye trusts Hollins as one of his most reliable receivers on the perimeter, which bodes well for his Week 16 outlook. The Ravens have allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, as well as the 14th-most fantasy points to wide receivers who play on the perimeter. Hollins isn't the flashiest name, but his consistency, reliability, and high involvement make him a solid WR3/flex play for Week 16.
Dec 17, 2025 12:33 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver remains a steady depth contributor ahead of Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Hollins continues to be a dependable target for Drake Maye and has made numerous big plays to move the chains or advance the ball downfield this season. He capitalized on increased opportunities when Kayshon Boutte missed time with a hamstring injury, and he has maintained a pretty consistent role ever since then. The 32-year-old has played at least 75% of the snaps in each of his last four contests, averaging 6.3 targets, 3.8 catches, and 55.8 yards per game during that span. Although he's third on the depth chart behind Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte, Hollins could carve out low-end flex value in fantasy leagues with at least 14 teams this week. He's a fine streamer for managers looking to replace injured receivers in Week 15. As it stands, he ranks as the overall WR72 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings.
Dec 12, 2025 11:21 PM EST
Across 13 games this season, New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has recorded 35 receptions for 440 yards and two touchdowns on 48 targets. While New England's egalitarian passing attack has limited the production of all of its pass-catchers, Hollins has been the team's most consistent wide receiver from a playing time perspective. The 32-year-old has played at least 75% of the Patriots' offensive snaps in each of his last four games. Across his last six outings, Hollins has hauled in 24 catches for 321 yards on 34 targets. His numbers don't jump off the page, and his upside is limited, but Hollins is attached to an elite quarterback in Drake Maye and has demonstrated a safe playing time floor. In the deepest fantasy leagues, Hollins could be worth targeting on the waiver wire heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
Dec 9, 2025 9:52 PM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins projects as a low-volume fantasy option for Week 13, despite an excellent matchup against a vulnerable New York Giants defense. The ninth-year pro has had a few nice outings this season in a high-flying Patriots' offense. However, quarterback Drake Maye's tendency to spread the ball around and the team's inclination toward a more run-heavy game script (46.83% [ninth-highest]) have left the veteran on the outside looking in at times. Through 12 contests, he's recorded more than two receptions on only four occasions, eclipsing 50 receiving yards thrice. Hollins has a decent role in an offense that gets the job done (26.5 points per game), although the lack of concentrated target share makes him an inconsistent fantasy asset. The 32-year-old lands as RotoBaller's PPR WR57 for his bout on Monday Night Football.
Nov 29, 2025 10:06 PM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has been a pleasant surprise lately, catching 19 passes for 268 yards over his last four games. He ranks as the WR23 in PPR leagues during that span, but a portion of his contributions came with Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) sidelined. Boutte returns to action this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12, raising questions about Hollins' expected role. Fortunately, the veteran receiver was able to carve out a consistent role even before Boutte suffered his injury. In his final game before Boutte got hurt, Hollins played 72% of the snaps with seven catches for 89 yards. For comparison, last weekend, the 32-year-old had an 85% snap share with four catches and 64 yards. Even if Hollins' snap share drops a few percentage points with Boutte back, he should still maintain a sizable role in New England's offense. Managers should be wary of the fact that Cincinnati has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to receivers playing out wide this season, but Hollins still has upside given his possession skills, as well as his occasional reps in the slot (21.2% rate). He ranks as RotoBaller's WR45 this week and could be a decent flex play.
Nov 22, 2025 10:42 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has played well for the Patriots this season, catching 30 of 38 targets for 387 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games. Hollins is fourth on the team in total routes run (217) and has emerged as a reliable option for second-year quarterback Drake Maye. The 32-year-old has recorded 21 catches for 317 yards on 26 targets since Week 7. His 317 yards lead the team over that span, and he's been highly efficient with his opportunities. His 12.19 yards per target ranks fourth among wide receivers with at least 75 routes during that stretch. Hollins' snaps could go down a tick with Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) expected to return in Week 12 against the Bengals. However, Hollins should still maintain a healthy route share and keep him on the radar in deeper formats.
Nov 20, 2025 1:15 AM EST
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.
Nov 17, 2025 9:47 PM EST
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.
Nov 8, 2025 7:42 PM EST
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.
