Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or Malachi Corley

Wednesday, October 29, 1:42 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has started to emerge as a potential fantasy football option after an impressive outing against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8. On Sunday, Hollins caught all seven of his targets for 89 yards while handling a season-high 72 percent snap share. He now has 138 yards over his last two games. The veteran receiver has officially supplanted DeMario Douglas as the team's new No. 3 receiver behind Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte. However, if you're purely talking about workload, Hollins is actually the No. 2, because he has registered more snaps than Diggs in each of the last two games, as well as three of the last four. This doesn't mean managers should rush to add Hollins over Diggs, and the size of your league should dictate whether you try to add Hollins off waivers at all. He's certainly worth picking up for the back end of rosters in leagues with at least 14 teams, as his snap share, target share, and productivity have been very promising. He has a solid track record, too. Hollins led the Bills in receiving touchdowns last year, scoring more than players like Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Dalton Kincaid. In essence, managers should feel confident that Hollins' big week isn't necessarily a fluke, and that he'll continue to compete for more playing time going forward. He's a fringe top-50 fantasy receiver as he takes on Atlanta in Week 9.

Wide receiver Malachi Corley is set to join the Browns' active roster in a corresponding move that shifted Cedric Tillman (hamstring) to the injured reserve. Corley was signed to the Cleveland practice squad shortly before the regular season. In 2024, Corley was drafted in the third round (65th overall) by the New York Jets but was never able to carve out a prominent role in their offense. As a rookie, Corley caught just three of his six targets for 16 yards. He added 26 yards on two rushing attempts. Fantasy managers in deeper dynasty formats should monitor his status as he could be given opportunities in the Cleveland offense if Tillman were to miss a significant portion of the season. For now, Jerry Jeudy and rookie Isaiah Bond figure to serve as the team's top wide receivers.
