Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or Irvin Charles

Saturday, October 4, 10:38 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins already has two touchdowns through four games and will look to build on that total during Sunday's Week 5 contest against his old team, the Buffalo Bills. Hollins has just seven catches for 42 yards this year, playing over 50 percent of the snaps in three of his four games. However, he has still managed to cross the goal line twice, building on a strong 2024 campaign with the Bills that saw him lead the team with five touchdown grabs. While Hollins would have some low-end standalone value by scoring a touchdown, that's impossible to predict or guarantee this week, especially against a Bills defense allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points to receivers. Hollins, 32, has WR3/flex upside, but it's far more likely that he finishes Week 5 off the fantasy radar.

The New York Jets re-signed exclusive-rights free-agent wide receiver Irvin Charles (knee) to an undisclosed deal on Friday. Charles will return to the Jets in 2025, although it's highly unlikely he'll be ready for training camp this summer or the start of the regular season after tearing his ACL in Week 14 of last year. The 27-year-old former undrafted free agent appeared in 13 games (no starts) in 2024 and was unable to catch his only target on offense. In his two NFL seasons, he has yet to catch a pass on just two targets over 25 games (no starts), mainly contributing on special teams. Charles logged 212 special-teams snaps last year and will likely resume a similar role at some point next year when he's cleared from his knee injury. He's nowhere near the fantasy radar.
