Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or Malik Heath

Monday, March 10, 7:30 PM

The New England Patriots have agreed to a deal with free-agent wide receiver Mack Hollins on Monday. The two sides have agreed on a two-year, $8.4 million deal where Hollins can earn up to $10.4 million in total. This is a nice landing spot for Hollins who was previously coached by Pats offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels while in Las Vegas. Hollins hasn't been very impressive on the field outside of his lone season on the Raiders where he hauled in 57 receptions for 690 receiving yards and four touchdown in 2022. He'll be a nice depth piece to go along with DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, and Kendrick Bourne.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Malik Heath led the Packers in all receiving categories during their final preseason tune-up against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday afternoon. Heath, the second-year receiver out of Ole Miss, led the Packers with five targets and a four-catch, 39-yard effort, including a third-quarter touchdown from Sean Clifford. The Packers sat Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Dontayvion Wicks, leaving the starting wide receivers to be Heath and Bo Melton, of whom Heath is battling to be the team's WR5 this season. The Packers have an embarrassment of riches at the receiver spot, so the team may opt to keep six on the 53-man roster, but the race is too close to call if the Packers only keep one. Heath was a sporadic contributor last season but was not fantasy-relevant. He shouldn't be drafted, but if any of the receivers ahead of him are hurt, Heath could contribute if he makes the roster.
