Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or Ryan Flournoy

Saturday, November 29, 10:06 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins projects as a low-volume fantasy option for Week 13, despite an excellent matchup against a vulnerable New York Giants defense. The ninth-year pro has had a few nice outings this season in a high-flying Patriots' offense. However, quarterback Drake Maye's tendency to spread the ball around and the team's inclination toward a more run-heavy game script (46.83% [ninth-highest]) have left the veteran on the outside looking in at times. Through 12 contests, he's recorded more than two receptions on only four occasions, eclipsing 50 receiving yards thrice. Hollins has a decent role in an offense that gets the job done (26.5 points per game), although the lack of concentrated target share makes him an inconsistent fantasy asset. The 32-year-old lands as RotoBaller's PPR WR57 for his bout on Monday Night Football.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy caught nine of his 13 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 14 loss against the Detroit Lions. Flournoy had a steady role from the start of the game, but he carved out an even larger target share after teammate CeeDee Lamb (concussion) exited and was ruled out in the third quarter. The second-year receiver from Southeast Missouri State had the best game of his young career, but it's not the first time he's put himself on the fantasy radar. Earlier in the year, when Lamb missed time with an ankle injury, Flournoy generated some fantasy buzz as a low-end WR3/flex. He should return to the WR3/flex tier in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings if Lamb is inactive and Flournoy is tasked with operating as the No. 2 receiver alongside George Pickens.
