Mack Hollins News
Sunday, August 23, 10:59 AM
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins still has a role, but it is getting harder to see enough targets for him to matter in redraft. Hollins caught 46 passes for 550 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games last season, then New England added A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs to an already crowded room. Through the first 10 practices of camp, Brown, Doubs and DeMario Douglas were typically the three receivers around Drake Maye, with Hollins and Kayshon Boutte getting regular work with the second team. Hollins has still made plays. The Patriots have used his size and blocking in heavier personnel, and he has caught multiple camp touchdowns on delayed releases and boot concepts. That makes him useful to the offense without guaranteeing much fantasy volume. There are simply more receivers fighting for Maye's attention now than there were a year ago. RotoBaller ranks Hollins WR86 and 233rd overall in PPR. He can have a role on Sundays and still be difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Cyrus Allen News
Wednesday, September 2, 6:42 AM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver has quickly earned the trust of his quarterbacks, including Patrick Mahomes. "Even when there were a couple routes he ran the wrong thing and lined up the wrong way in the game, the quarterback still threw the ball to him," head coach Andy Reid told Jesse Newell of The Athletic. "You go, 'All right. There's a certain trust there.' And he'll work through all the other stuff." Mahomes recently dubbed Allen one of the team's biggest camp standouts, and Newell noted that the team's quarterbacks have all been very comfortable throwing him the ball even when he's covered. That level of trust should go a long way in the regular season. Even though Allen is set to open the year behind Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy on the depth chart, he could work his way onto the fantasy radar by midseason, especially if Rice or Worthy get injured. Having Mahomes throwing him the football should only boost his stock in redraft and dynasty formats. Allen currently has an ADP of 186.5, which corresponds to the 16th round of drafts and makes him the 68th receiver off the board.
