Mack Hollins News
Saturday, June 13, 10:28 AM
Across 15 games (13 starts) in 2025, New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins recorded 46 receptions for 550 yards and two touchdowns on 65 targets. While the veteran wideout has never been a high-volume target-earner, he's a valuable blocker in the running game and an underrated downfield threat on the outside. Hollins' skill set could keep him on the field consistently for the Patriots once again in 2026. However, his already questionable target outlook has taken a hit over the offseason thanks to New England's acquisitions of wide receivers A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs. The Patriots may also be looking to expand the role of 2025 third-round pick Kyle Williams, and Kayshon Boutte remains in New England as well. As he enters his age-33 season, Hollins profiles as a low-upside fantasy wide receiver whom dynasty managers should feel comfortable moving on from.

DeMario Douglas News
Saturday, June 20, 5:25 AM
New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas has routinely provided a spark out of the slot, averaging more than 6.2 yards after catch per reception through his first three years in the league, but his waning usage in 2025 led to career lows of 447 yards on only 31 receptions. The arrival of Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator had many calling for a modest breakout based on the past success of slot receivers Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, and Wes Welker in his system, but with the Patriots opting for a bigger, more physical style of play, Douglas often ceded slot work to the 6'4", 221-pound Mack Hollins and saw a sub-30% snap share in 14 of 17 games. McDaniels has spoken about wanting to get Douglas more involved, but most of the moves made by New England this offseason suggest a path toward even more heavy personnel usage, with Douglas now buried on a depth chart topped by new additions A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs. Douglas will continue to have his moments in McDaniels' game plan-specific offense, but outside of RotoBaller's top 300, he is not a player who can be trusted in 2026 fantasy leagues, other than deep best-ball formats.
