Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or Tim Patrick

Wednesday, September 20, 1:31 PM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mack Hollins hasn't been non-existent in the Falcons' limited passing game through two weeks, but he also isn't a recommended flex play heading into a pretty juicy matchup against the Detroit Lions on the road. Through the first two games of the 2023 season, Hollins has six receptions on 10 targets for 91 scoreless yards. The Lions, who just lost safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to a torn pectoral muscle, have been a top-10 fantasy matchup for wideouts through two weeks. The 30-year-old is the No. 2 wideout for Atlanta and played 71 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 2 win over the Green Bay Packers, but the Falcons just aren't passing enough to make Hollins a worthwhile fantasy dart throw at flex. The majority of his production this past Sunday came on a trick play.
