Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or DeAndre Carter

Saturday, November 29, 10:06 PM

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.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver DeAndre Carter (concussion) and kicker Andre Szmyt (calf) are both active and ready to go for Week 3's matchup against the Packers. Carter had to leave last week's game with a concussion, and Szmyt popped up on the injury report on Friday with a calf injury. He underwent an MRI, but everything looked good, so he's available as an emergency option at the position if needed. Carter has not played an offensive snap yet for the Browns, but he is an important special teams contributor, and he should be back in that role on Sunday after clearing the concussion protocol.
