Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or Christian Watson

Tuesday, December 9, 9:52 PM

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.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has been the most productive pass-catcher for the Packers in the past few weeks, and he looks to carry over that momentum when the Packers head to Denver to face the Broncos in Week 15. Watson followed up a 4-80-1 effort against the Detroit Lions in Week 13 with a 4-89 and two scores last week in the Packers' pivotal division showdown with the Chicago Bears. Watson runs into a stiff test in Week 15, as he'll likely draw the shadow coverage of Patrick Surtain II, one of the best cornerbacks in football and the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Despite that, Watson is on a heater right now for fantasy, and if anybody can break a long reception for a score, it's Watson. Surtain's presence should temper fantasy managers' expectations for Watson this week. That said, Watson is a volatile WR3 fantasy option against the Broncos.
