Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or Xavier Gipson

Saturday, October 4, 10:38 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins already has two touchdowns through four games and will look to build on that total during Sunday's Week 5 contest against his old team, the Buffalo Bills. Hollins has just seven catches for 42 yards this year, playing over 50 percent of the snaps in three of his four games. However, he has still managed to cross the goal line twice, building on a strong 2024 campaign with the Bills that saw him lead the team with five touchdown grabs. While Hollins would have some low-end standalone value by scoring a touchdown, that's impossible to predict or guarantee this week, especially against a Bills defense allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points to receivers. Hollins, 32, has WR3/flex upside, but it's far more likely that he finishes Week 5 off the fantasy radar.

The New York Giants have claimed wide receiver Xavier Gipson off waivers from the New York Jets, per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Gipson was released by the Jets after his costly special teams fumble played a big role in the team's Week 1 loss. With the Giants, Gipson should have a chance to battle wide receiver Gunner Olszewski for a role as a reserve slot receiver and primary special teamer. In 35 career NFL games, Gipson has recorded 27 receptions for 268 yards and one touchdown. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.
