Mack Hollins a Dynasty Faller as Patriots Re-Tool the Offense

Tuesday, May 5, 5:25 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins was an underrated piece of New England's deep playoff run, proving himself a trusted target to Drake Maye in some of the season's biggest moments. His 46 catches for 550 yards in 2025 were the second-highest totals of his nine-year career. Unfortunately, heading into 2026, his role in the offense is being squeezed in from all sides. The free agent acquisition of Romeo Doubs and a presumed trade for A.J. Brown will likely limit Hollins' opportunities in two-receiver sets, and while he spent nearly a quarter of his time in the slot in 2025, providing a bigger body who can help out in the running game, much of that role could be inherited by 2026 third-round pick Eli Raridon. The incoming rookie spent more time in the slot than as an inline tight end in his final, and most productive, season at Notre Dame. With Hunter Henry and 2025 third-round pick Kyle Williams still on the roster, some of the team's new additions finding the field could mean reduced opportunities for Hollins. The soon-to-be 33-year-old veteran will still have his moments, but outside of best ball formats, he will offer little upside from the end of the bench, and his sinking dynasty value is reflected by RotoBaller's WR147 ranking.

Malik Washington News

Malik Washington Emerging as a Low-Cost Dynasty Buy Out of Ambiguous Receiver Room

Sunday, May 3, 5:40 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington is one of only three wideouts still on the roster who caught a pass for the team in 2025. After a busy offseason of cuts, trades, and draft selections, the Dolphins' receiver room has undergone a massive overhaul, and Washington's place within it is very much up in the air. Washington's 46 receptions in 2025 amount to the second highest single season total among all current Dolphins pass catchers other than De'Von Achane, but Miami invested heavily to add new target competition, spending two thirds and a fifth-round pick on Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, and Kevin Coleman Jr. Bell is still recovering from an ACL tear sustained in late November, and Douglas is widely considered to be one of the largest reaches of the draft, so ultimately, it could be the fifth-rounder Coleman who poses the most immediate threat to Washington's workload. After taking more than 90% of his collegiate snaps on the inside, Coleman projects as a slot-only player in the NFL, a role Washington has handled on nearly 50% of his professional snaps. Anytime ambiguity enters a position room, dynasty values tend to crater, and bargains can be found for managers willing to lean into the uncertainty. At RotoBaller's WR131, Washington could be an offseason steal if he's ultimately able to carve out a meaningful role in his third season with Miami.
