Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or Kalif Raymond

Friday, December 12, 11:21 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver remains a steady depth contributor ahead of Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Hollins continues to be a dependable target for Drake Maye and has made numerous big plays to move the chains or advance the ball downfield this season. He capitalized on increased opportunities when Kayshon Boutte missed time with a hamstring injury, and he has maintained a pretty consistent role ever since then. The 32-year-old has played at least 75% of the snaps in each of his last four contests, averaging 6.3 targets, 3.8 catches, and 55.8 yards per game during that span. Although he's third on the depth chart behind Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte, Hollins could carve out low-end flex value in fantasy leagues with at least 14 teams this week. He's a fine streamer for managers looking to replace injured receivers in Week 15. As it stands, he ranks as the overall WR72 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) has missed each of his team's last two games after suffering an ankle injury in Week 12. However, the 31-year-old was able to log three limited practices this week and is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Across 11 games this season, Raymond has hauled in 15 catches for 150 yards on 19 targets. Still, he's worked as Detroit's WR3 alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams when healthy. In his absence, Lions rookie wideout Isaac TeSlaa has stepped up and recorded touchdowns in back-to-back weeks. TeSlaa's recent surge could mean fewer reps for Raymond, even if he's healthy enough to play. Raymond should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 15.
