Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or Dontayvion Wicks

Saturday, December 27, 6:33 PM

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.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Wicks was forced to exit near the end of the second quarter with concussion symptoms. The staff has evaluated Wicks and ruled him out for the second half of this contest. Wicks hauled in his lone target for seven yards before being forced to exit. His absence should mean expanded roles for Bo Melton and Matthew Golden. It's unclear if Wicks will be available for Week 18, but regardless, he hasn't been a consistent fantasy option this season.
