Mack Hollins a Reliable Target with Deep-League Streaming Appeal

Friday, September 18, 10:27 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins could get onto the fantasy radar during Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team recently placed A.J. Brown (ankle) on injured reserve, bumping Hollins up to No. 3 on the depth chart behind Romeo Doubs and DeMario Douglas. Hollins has the most experience of that bunch, and he has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to bail out Drake Maye, earning the young quarterback's trust in high-leverage spots. Doubs may have the big-play upside and Douglas is a high-volume, short-yardage weapon. However, Hollins is more of a playmaker on the perimeter and in contested situations. He had four catches for 51 yards on a 70% snap share in Week 1, and those numbers could also climb even higher in Week 2 now that Brown is sidelined. Hollins ranks as the overall WR56 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 2.

Xavier Hutchinson News

Xavier Hutchinson In Line for More Work against the Bengals

Saturday, September 19, 3:38 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson played the second-most snaps of all his team's WRs in Week 1, and with Nico Collins (hamstring) out in Week 2, Hutchinson will have to carry more of the workload against Cincinnati. Hutchinson also had the second-most targets of any WR and caught three of his six opportunities for 32 yards. While Jaylin Noel and Kayshon Boutte will also have to be more involved, Hutchinson could end up leading this receiver group in a tough matchup against the Bengals, who looked sharp in Week 1 against the Bucs. Hutchinson is the No. 69 WR in RotoBaller's Week 2 rankings, so he remains a very high-risk start despite the potential extra work. If you need a flier for DFS or in deep leagues, his potential extra work puts him on the radar, even though he remains high-risk.
