Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or Malachi Corley

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has been receiving reps with the first-team offense since returning from the active/physically unable to perform list, according to Evan Lazar of Patriots.com. New England signed Hollins to a two-year contract this past offseason, and he appears to be in line for a starting role. Hollins turns 32 years old in September, and the Patriots will be his sixth team in eight NFL seasons. In 17 games (13 starts) for the Buffalo Bills in 2024, Hollins recorded 31 catches for 378 yards and five touchdowns. Third-year wide receiver Kayshon Boutte could be Hollins' main threat to playing time alongside New England's top two wideouts, Stefon Diggs and DeMario Douglas.

ESPN's Rich Cimini reports that New York Jets wide receiver Malachi Corley (undisclosed) won't be a shoo-in for the team's 53-man roster as he's missed critical time with an undisclosed injury during their offensive install. New York selected Corley with the first pick of the third round in 2024's draft, though his rookie season saw him catch just 3-of-6 targets across 83 total offensive snaps. The Jets' corps of pass-catchers is mostly thin behind No. 1 option Garrett Wilson, so Corley could push for significant snaps if he continues to develop. New head coach Aaron Glenn has insinuated he'll run a tight ship, and isn't tied to the 23-year-old, considering he isn't a part of the regime that drafted him. Corley's athletic profile is enticing, but he requires improvement before impacting fantasy lineups in 2025.
