Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or Tyquan Thornton

Monday, November 17, 9:47 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins was a non-factor in the offense early in the season, but is starting to make an impact. Over the last four games, Hollins has finished with 64 receiving yards or more. The absence of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) has led to more targets coming Hollins' way. Once Boutte returns, Hollins figures to see his role reduced, but he should still stay in the gameplan. Hollins is someone to consider as a flex option for the upcoming Week 12 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton has seen his playing time dip over the past few weeks, playing just 23% of offensive snaps since Week 6. Thornton had been a pretty important piece of Kansas City's offense during the first month of the season, using his electric speed to help stretch the field and create explosive plays. The 25-year-old caught 13 of his 24 targets for 272 yards and three touchdowns while playing 60% of the team's snaps over the first five weeks. His 20.9 yards per reception was the highest in the league over that span out of receivers with at least 10 receptions. Rashee Rice's return and Xavier Worthy getting healthier played a part in Thornton's role diminishing, but he was a useful player and could see more snaps after the team's Week 10 bye.
