Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or Isaiah Williams

With New England Patriots top wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) on Injured Reserve and forced to miss at least three more games, Mack Hollins will continue to have a big role in the Patriots' passing attack. The 33-year-old veteran had four catches on five targets for 51 yards in the season-opening loss to the Seattle Seahawks and disappointed with only two receptions for 18 yards in the Week 2 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first game with Brown on the sidelines. Quarterback Drake Maye did not have a good game overall throwing the football against the Steelers, and the positive for Hollins is that he played 71% of the offensive snaps, which was the most among any of New England's receivers. Romeo Doubs and DeMario Douglas will also be involved more for however long Brown is out, but Hollins should not be ignored as a waiver-wire pickup with short-term upside in the Patriots' offense with Brown sidelined. The former fourth-rounder by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017 is rostered in only 4% of Yahoo leagues.
