Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or Jerry Jeudy

Saturday, August 16, 7:10 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins caught all three of his targets for 38 yards during Saturday's preseason contest. The veteran receiver is competing for a roster spot in New England, with Kendrick Bourne and Efton Chism III representing the biggest obstacles in his way. Saturday's performance will certainly help his case. Not only did he finish second on the team in catches and receiving yards, but he also showcased physical talent by making a difficult toe-tap catch on an inaccurate pass thrown by Drake Maye near the sideline. Hollins scored at least four touchdowns in three of his last four seasons, including a team-high five last year in Buffalo. However, he's not an immediate threat to produce in New England and should be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues for the time being.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and running back Jerome Ford are not expected to play in the team's second preseason game on Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Browns beat writer Kelsey Russo. In addition, the Browns are expected to hold out rookie RB Dylan Sampson. Jeudy's last chance to play in the preseason will come next Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams, as he also didn't play in the preseason opener last week. In regards to the RB situation, the Browns are being mindful not to thin out their RB room even more with rookie second-rounder Quinshon Judkins still unsigned as he deals with legal matters. Jeudy will be the unquestioned WR1 again in 2025, although his fantasy upside will remain limited with veteran quarterback Joe Flacco running the offense. Ford figures to have an elevated backfield role if Judkins is not ready for the start of the season.
