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.

Can Jack Bech Remain Involved Despite Raiders' Wide Receiver Additions?

Sunday, August 16, 6:30 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jack Bech seems like a natural fit for a Year 2 breakout, but the team's offseason moves could serve as an obstacle in his development. There are no flashy names in Vegas' receiver room, but the Raiders deliberately signed both Jalen Nailor and Noah Brown. Both receivers are veterans in the NFL, and they have the ability to serve as dependable (albeit not very flashy) targets for Kirk Cousins and, eventually, Fernando Mendoza. Although Bech might have more long-term upside than Nailor and Brown, he's not exactly a proven veteran target who can form a rapport with Cousins and Mendoza right away, so it would be tough to justify drafting him in redraft leagues. In addition to Nailor and Brown, he faces competition for targets from Tre Tucker and Dont'e Thornton. At this point, Bech is avoidable in most redraft leagues, but we would continue to stash him on the back end of dynasty rosters, as he still represents a key part of the Raiders' offense long-term.
