Mack Hollins Faces a Steeper Climb for Targets

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.

Hollywood Brown's Role Unclear Entering 2026

Sunday, August 23, 7:25 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown is not expected to have a major role in the 2026 season. Brown had 49 receptions for 587 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games last season with the Kansas City Chiefs. The former first-round pick signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Eagles this season, with expectations that he could be the second-string receiver behind DeVonta Smith. However, the additions of Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon affect Brown's fantasy value, as both receivers are expected to play major roles this season. Second-year wideout Darius Cooper has been a standout at training camp and has garnered praise from quarterback Jalen Hurts. At best, Brown will be the WR4 in Philadelphia's run-heavy offense. While the name still carries some fantasy value, Brown is unlikely to produce this season.
