Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or Tank Dell

Saturday, July 19, 8:36 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (undisclosed) was placed on the active/Physically Unable to Perform list. The wideout agreed to a two-year, $8.4 million deal with the Pats in March after bouncing around the National Football League throughout his career. He appeared in 112 regular-season games for the Eagles, Dolphins, Raiders, Falcons, and Bills, totaling 162 receptions for 2,069 yards and 15 touchdowns. Hollins spent last season in Buffalo, where he had a career-high five touchdowns. He'll have plenty of competition for targets in New England, with Stefon Diggs (knee), DeMario Douglas, Kendrick Bourne, Hunter Henry, and Kayshon Boutte all vying for the attention of quarterback Drake Maye. With that in mind, Hollins may have a tough time being a consistent fantasy producer, although he very well could have a few above-average fantasy outings during the 2025 campaign. Hollins is eligible to be removed from the PUP list as soon as he is medically cleared.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Wednesday at training camp that wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) is "doing great." "He's crushing rehab. He's in a great headspace. We're not putting any timetables timeline on Tank." It's good news that Dell is making strides in his rehab, but the fact remains that he's highly unlikely to play at all in 2025 after dislocating his knee and tearing his ACL, MCL and LCL in Week 16 last season. The Texans placed him on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Wednesday, and he won't be taking part in any practices this summer as the team gets ready for the 2025 season. If Dell is even ready to return next year, he might be a shell of his former self. Fantasy managers should leave him off their draft boards this fall.
