Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or Van Jefferson

Wednesday, March 13, 12:14 PM

The Buffalo Bills agreed to terms with free-agent wide receiver Mack Hollins on an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to sources. As of right now, Hollins is essentially replacing Gabe Davis, who agreed to join the Jacksonville Jaguars in free agency earlier this week. In a run-heavy offensive scheme with the Atlanta Falcons with inconsistency all year at quarterback, Hollins caught just 18 passes for 251 yards and no touchdowns in 13 games in 2023. However, the year before in 2022 with the Las Vegas Raiders, the 30-year-old had a career-best 57-690-4 line in 17 games. The Bills will probably be looking to add more help to the receiver room through free agency and the draft, but as of right now, Hollins' fantasy stock in deeper leagues is trending up with the move to Buffalo.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing free-agent wide receiver Van Jefferson to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday. After the trade of receiver Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers this week, the move to sign Jefferson will give new quarterback Russell Wilson a new weapon alongside George Pickens and Calvin Austin III. The 27-year-old former second-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams in 2020 spent time with new Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith with the Atlanta Falcons last year, catching 12 of 28 targets for 101 yards in 12 games (five starts) with the team. The move to Pittsburgh should be a boost for Jefferson's weak fantasy value, but the Steelers could also add to the position in the upcoming NFL draft. In four years in the NFL, Jefferson has 113 receptions for 1,600 yards and 10 touchdowns in 61 games (35 starts).
