Mack Hollins Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Patriots vs Bengals game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 13, 2025
Solid complementary effort Thursday
Hollins secured four of five targets for 64 yards in the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Hollins was a relatively distant runner-up to team leader Stefon Diggs in receiving yards, and he finished tied for third in both receptions and targets. The veteran wideout had more opportunity once again Thursday thanks to the absence of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), and he now has a 10-170-0 line on 15 targets over the latter's pair of absences. Hollins will remain a complementary option in the air attack even if Boutte returns for a Week 12 home matchup against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 23, but his targets would stand to take a hit.
Nov 9, 2025
Season-high yardage total in win
Hollins secured six of 10 targets for 106 yards in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
With Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) sidelined Sunday, Hollins was one of multiple receivers to help fill the former's typical downfield role. Hollins' main contribution in that regard came on a 54-yard grab just past the midway point of the fourth quarter. Hollins finished with season-high figures in both his yardage and target totals, and he led the Patriots in all three receiving categories. Hollins will remain one of several capable complementary options available to Drake Maye in a Week 11 home matchup against the Jets on Thursday night.
Nov 3, 2025
Two catches in Week 9
Hollins caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
With Kayshon Boutte having left Sunday's game early with a hamstring injury, Hollins led the Patriots WRs with 43 of a possible 68 snaps on offense, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. However, Hollins' production dipped after a seven-catch 89-yard effort in a Week 8 win over the Browns. As Reiss points out, the team has been spreading the ball out among its pass-catchers, with six different players having led New England in receiving through nine games thus far. On that topic, Hollins noted Sunday, "it's fun being in this group when you don't know who is going to get it. Everybody is like, 'Oh, maybe it's me this week.' But I think that also makes it hard for defenses to go against us." With that in mind, as this coming weekend's game against the Buccaneers approaches, Hollins remains a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option.
Oct 27, 2025
Seven catches in Sunday's win
Hollins caught all seven of his targets for a team-high 89 yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns.
ANALYSIS
After combining for five catches on six targets for 81 yards over his four previous games, Hollins -- who logged a 72 percent snap versus Cleveland -- topped those marks Sunday in his most productive outing of the season. While his Week 8 output was notable, with Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte and DeMario Douglas also in the Patriots WR mix and Hunter Henry getting significant looks at tight end, Hollins' weekly volume figures to fluctuate, a context that limits his fantasy utility to deeper formats.
Oct 20, 2025
Two catches Sunday
Hollins, who was on the field for 43 of a possible 65 snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught both of his targets in the contest for 49 yards.
ANALYSIS
Hollins, who also logged his first carry of the season for four yards, heads into Week 8 action with an 11/119/2 receiving line on 14 targets. Given his modest volume, Hollins is only a fantasy lineup option in deeper formats while working in a New England WR corps that features Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte.
Oct 13, 2025
Two catches Sunday
Hollins, who logged 35 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught two of his three targets in the game for 28 yards.
ANALYSIS
Through the Patriots' first six contests, Hollins has turned in a 9/70/2 receiving line on 12 targets. As this coming Sunday's game against the Titans approaches, Hollins is only a fantasy consideration in deeper TD-friendly formats.
Oct 6, 2025
Not targeted in Week 5
Hollins, who was on the field for 35 a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, was not targeted in the contest.
ANALYSIS
Prior to Sunday's zero-target outing, Hollins had scored in two of his previous three games, but with a total of nine targets through five contests overall, the wideout profiles as a hit-or-miss option in TD-friendly formats.
Sep 29, 2025
Scores TD versus Panthers
Hollins, who logged 24 of a possible 49 snaps on offense in Sunday's 42-13 win over the Panthers, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught his only target in the contest for a four-yard TD.
ANALYSIS
Hollins has scored in two of his last three games, but with an overall 7/42/2 receiving line (on nine targets) through Week 4, he profiles as TD-dependent option in deeper fantasy formats as this weekend's game against the Bills approaches.
Sep 22, 2025
Four catches Sunday
Hollins, who was on the field for 46 of a possible 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Steelers, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught all four of his targets in the contest for 27 yards.
ANALYSIS
Hollins caught one pass on two targets in each of the Patriots' first two games, while notching a TD in Week 2. Versus the Steelers, he saw a modest uptick in volume, but with QB Drake Maye spreading the ball around Sunday, that led to a modest fantasy stat line for the veteran pass catcher. As this weekend's game against the Panthers approaches, Hollins profiles as a lineup dart, while working in a WR corps that also includes Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte and DeMario Douglas.
Sep 15, 2025
Catches TD in Week 2
Hollins caught one of his two targets in Sunday's 33-27 win over the Dolphins for an eight-yard touchdown.
ANALYSIS
Hollins, who was on the field for 39 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, has recorded one catch in each of his first two games this season. As Week 3 action approaches, Hollins remains a speculative fantasy option while working in a New England WR corps that also includes Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas and Kyle Williams.
Sep 8, 2025
One catch in opener
Hollins, who was on the field for 40 of a possible 71 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Raiders, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught one of his two targets in the contest for three yards.
ANALYSIS
With Stefon Diggs (29 snaps) being eased back into the mix in his first game action since last October, Hollins was third among the Patriots WRs in terms of playing time in Week 1, behind Kayshon Boutte (58 snaps) and DeMario Douglas (45 snaps). While there will be weeks in which Hollins is more involved in the passing game, steady volume on his part figures to be hard to come by until or unless injuries hit.
Aug 28, 2025
In mix behind top duo
As Week 1 approaches, Chad Graff of The Athletic notes that Hollins is a candidate to log early-season reps out wide opposite Stefon Diggs (knee).
ANALYSIS
While Diggs (assuming his health) and slot man DeMario Douglas profile as the team's top two wide receiver options, how things shake out beyond that duo remains to seen. Based on practices this summer, Graff guesses that Hollins could see the most snaps opposite Diggs early on this season. That said, Kayshon Boutte is also in the mix on that front, while third-rounder Kyle Williams projects as the upside play as the season progresses. In any case, clarity with regard to the exact Patriots' WR pecking order probably won't arrive until the team's Week 1 box score/snap counts are available to provide more concrete context.
Aug 6, 2025
Mixes in with first team
Since returning from the PUP list, Hollins has logged some first-team reps, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
That said, Lazar notes that the Stefon Diggs/DeMario Douglas/Kayshon Boutte trio has been seeing a lot of reps of late, with Kyle Williams mixing in along with Hollins. At this stage, Diggs -- assuming his health -- and Douglas appear to be locked into key roles in a crowded Patriots wide receiver corps (that also includes Kendrick Bourne, Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker), with the competition for slotting beyond the aforementioned duo still wide open.
Aug 1, 2025
Works with starters in return
In his first practice since being activated from the PUP list, Hollins worked with the starters during Thursday's walk-through session, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Reiss notes that on Hollins' first snap Thursday, he lined up opposite Stefon Diggs, with DeMario Douglas in the slot. In his absence, it had been mostly Kayshon Boutte (who also saw some some work with the starters Thursday) working alongside Diggs and Douglas, but now that he's back in the mix, Hollins will look to secure the No. 3 role in a crowded Patriots WR corps that also includes Kyle Williams, Kendrick Bourne and Ja'Lynn Polk.
Jul 31, 2025
Back at practice
Hollins (undisclosed), who had been on the active/PUP list, is participating in practice Thursday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins is present for the start of Thursday's walk-through practice, confirmation that he's coming off the PUP list. The veteran wideout secured 31 of 50 targets for 378 yards and a career-high five touchdowns while playing all 17 regular-season games with Buffalo in 2024, and he's now competing for standing behind Stefon Diggs (ACL) with all of DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne and Kyle Williams after having inked a two-year deal with the Patriots this offseason.
Jul 19, 2025
Lands on PUP list
The Patriots placed Hollins (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not clear what type of injury Hollins is dealing with, but he won't be practicing to begin camp. However, he's eligible to come off the PUP list and begin practicing as soon as he's medically cleared. Hollins signed a two-year deal with New England in March and is expected to compete for targets with the likes of DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne, when healthy.
Mar 10, 2025
Joining forces with Pats
Hollins is slated to signed a two-year, $8.4 million contract with the Patriots, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins thus will reunite with Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, under whom the wide receiver had a career-best campaign in 2022 in Las Vegas with a 57-690-4 line on 94 targets in 17 regular-season games. He combined for 49-629-5 on 80 targets in 30 contests between the Falcons (2023) and Bills (2024) over the last two years. In a receiving corps with all of DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte (head) and Kendrick Bourne under contract and more reinforcements possible this offseason, it's unclear what kind of role Hollins can expect in a Drake Maye-led offense.
Jan 26, 2025
Strong AFCCG outing not enough
Hollins caught three of four targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-29 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.
ANALYSIS
Hollins was Buffalo's leading receiver in the season-ending loss. He caught a 34-yard touchdown pass in the final minute of the first half and set up Curtis Samuel's game-tying touchdown catch in the fourth quarter with a 32-yard reception down to the 4-yard line. Hollins surprisingly led the Bills with five touchdown catches in the regular season while playing on a one-year, $2.6 million contract, so Buffalo could have some interest in bringing the 31-year-old wide receiver back in free agency.
Jan 9, 2025
Three grabs against New England
Hollins caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Hollins played all but one of the Bills' 67 offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap percentage of the season. With Buffalo already clinching the No. 2 seed in the AFC, the Bills elected to rest many of their key players, opening the door to extended playing time for the veteran wideout. Despite seeing a major uptick in usage and leading all wide receivers in playing time, Hollins' minimal production was disappointing. Nonetheless, the 31-year-old will revert back to his depth role when Bills host the Broncos in the wild card round of the playoffs.
Dec 31, 2024
Two grabs in Week 17
Hollins reeled in both of his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Hollins saw two targets from quarterback Josh Allen against the Jets, his lowest target total since Week 13. The veteran played 38 of the Bills' 70 offensive snaps, behind Keon Coleman (63) and Khalil Shakir (43). Hollins could be in store for more playing time in Week 18, however, as the Bills have clinched the No. 2 seed for the playoffs and could choose to rest some of their starters in the season finale against the Patriots.
Dec 25, 2024
Targeted three times
Hollins caught two of three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Hollins played 42 of the Bills' 59 offensive snaps Sunday, second only to Khalil Shakir (44). The veteran wideout is a part of a crowded wide receiver room in Buffalo, limiting his potential for high target shares. For that reason, Hollins continues to be nothing more than a dart throw for fantasy purposes. The 31-year-old will look to get more involved in Week 17 when the Bills host the Jets.
Dec 18, 2024
Quiet day in Week 15
Hollins caught one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 48-42 win over the Lions.
ANALYSIS
After scoring touchdowns in two straight games, Hollins was essentially a non-factor Sunday against the Lions. The wideout played 50 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps, but he was unable to do much with the three targets he saw come his way. In the four games rookie Keon Coleman missed with a wrist injury, the 31-year-old Hollins averaged roughly a 72 percent offensive snap share. With the return of Coleman to the lineup, the veteran's snap share took a hit, which will likely continue to be the case going forward. Hollins should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Patriots.
Dec 9, 2024
Reaches end zone again
Hollins recorded four receptions on six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Hollins matched his season high with six targets and had one of his more productive performances. His primary contribution came on a 21-yard touchdown pass midway through the fourth quarter, though he also chipped in 16 and 12-yard receptions, both of which came on touchdown drives. Hollins has earned inconsistent targets in the Buffalo offense throughout the season, and that has remained the case even with Keon Coleman (wrist) and Dalton Kincaid (knee) sidelined.
Dec 4, 2024
Scores touchdown against 49ers
Hollins caught his lone target for seven yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-10 win over the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Hollins' trip to the end zone Sunday was his fourth score of the 2024 season. The veteran wideout played the most offensive snaps (38) of any Buffalo wide receiver in the contest, ahead of Khalil Shakir (29), Amari Cooper (27), Curtis Samuel (22) and Jalen Virgil (15). Despite seeing the most playing time, Hollins was not a major part of the game plan throughout the contest. The 31-year-old remains difficult to trust for consistent fantasy production as the Bills head to Los Angeles to face the Rams in Week 14.
Nov 10, 2024
Makes impact in win
Hollins brought in all four targets for 86 yards in the Bills' 30-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Hollins recorded a team- and season-high yardage total. The veteran logged a game-high 44-yard catch as well, and he's now posted a 9-116-1 line on nine targets over the last two games. Hollins benefitted from the absences of both Keon Coleman and Amari Cooper due to wrist injuries Sunday, but he does appear to have burgeoning chemistry with Josh Allen heading into a Week 11 home showdown against the Chiefs.
Nov 8, 2024
Clear for Week 10
Hollins (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Indianapolis.
ANALYSIS
Hollins has been managing a shoulder injury for the past five weeks, but he's suited up on the previous four occasions en route to a 6-38-2 line on eight targets during that stretch. The Bills ruled out Keon Coleman (wrist) for Week 10, and Amari Cooper (wrist) is listed as questionable, leaving Khalil Shakir, Hollins and Curtis Samuel (pectoral) as the healthy wide receivers on the Bills' active roster.
Nov 7, 2024
Limited Thursday
Hollins (shoulder) was limited in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Hollins was listed as a full participant for Wednesday's walkthrough practice and has been dealing with the shoulder issue for a couple weeks. The veteran wideout reeled in all five of his targets for 30 yards and one touchdown last Sunday against Miami. Hollins' Friday participation will be more telling for his Sunday availability against the Colts.
Nov 5, 2024
Catches all five targets in Week 9
Hollins recorded five catches on five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 win against Miami.
ANALYSIS
Hollins entered Week 9 without a catch in two straight contests, but he emerged with season-high marks in catches and receiving yards against the Dolphins. The veteran wideout notched his third touchdown of the campaign on a one-yard reception midway through the third quarter. Hollins needs one more TD to tie his career-high mark for a season, but his volume has been too low to make him more than a dart throw even in deep fantasy leagues.
Oct 30, 2024
Not targeted against Seattle
Hollins failed to see a single target in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Hollins was held without a catch for the second-straight week and third time this season. The veteran wideout played 35 of the Bills 76 offensive snaps, behind Keon Coleman (63), Khalil Shakir (44) and Amari Cooper (38). With Cooper's arrival, Hollins will likely continue to see his number called less and less, as the former should command a significant amount of targets once he is fully acclimated. The 31-year-old Hollins should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Dolphins.
Oct 25, 2024
Cleared to play Week 8
Hollins (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Hollins upgraded to full practice participation Friday to avoid an injury designation after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. He'll look to bounce back from a zero-catch Week 7 performance as a depth option in a Bills receiving corps that will be without Curtis Samuel (pectoral).
Oct 23, 2024
Starts week with limited practice
Hollins (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Hollins saw minimal involvement in Amari Cooper's debut with the Bills in Week 7 against the Titans, as the former had only one target in the 34-10 win. Even if Hollins upgrades to full participation later in the week and avoids an injury designation, he may not play a significant role Sunday in Seattle.
Oct 23, 2024
Held catchless in Week 7
Hollins failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Hollins was held without a catch for just the second time all season, yet the veteran wideout led all Buffalo wide receivers in offensive snaps (41). The arrival of new acquisition Amari Cooper, who saw five targets while playing just 19 snaps, certainly contributed to Hollins' decreased usage in the passing game. Going forward, Hollins will likely continue to see his role decrease as the Buffalo's No. 4 wideout. The 31-year-old will be hard to trust for fantasy purposes when the Bills visit the Seahawks in Week 8.
Oct 18, 2024
Cleared to face Titans
Hollins (shoulder) doesn't have an injry designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Hollins upgraded to full practice participation Friday following a pair of limited sessions, so he'll be available for Sunday's home game against the Titans. Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman will likely continue to slot in ahead of Hollins in the pass catching pecking order among Buffalo's wide receivers, but it remains to be seen if Amari Cooper will make his Bills debut Sunday after being acquired from the Browns in a trade Tuesday.
Oct 16, 2024
Listed as limited
Hollins (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.
ANALYSIS
Hollins played through the same injury Monday against the Jets, catching one of two targets for an eight-yard TD in a 23-20 win. Healthy or not, he's likely looking at a reduction in playing time after the Bills traded for WR Amari Cooper on Tuesday.
Oct 16, 2024
Hits pay dirt in win
Hollins caught one of his two targets for eight yards and a touchdown in Monday's 23-20 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Hollins played 46 of the Bills' 69 offensive snaps Monday, the most of any Buffalo wide receiver in the contest. The veteran's trip to the end zone was his second score of the season and saved what would've been a disaster of a day for fantasy purposes. With the Bills acquiring Amari Cooper from the Browns on Tuesday, Hollins will likely see a decrease in playing time once Cooper is up to speed. The 31-year-old Hollins will continue to be difficult to trust as the Bills host the Titans in Week 7.
Oct 12, 2024
Good to go for Monday
Hollins does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Hollins has compiled six targets in each of the past two games, but the big-bodied target hardly has anything to show from it as he's tallied just three total catches for 32 yards over the past two weeks. With Khalil Shakir (ankle) trending in the right direction, Hollins will likely share the pass catching duties with the full complement of Bills wideouts.
Oct 11, 2024
Limited in Friday's walkthrough
Hollins (shoulder) remained limited at practice Friday.
ANALYSIS
The Bills held a walkthrough Friday, so there were no changes in participation status from Thursday's practice. Hollins and Curtis Samuel (toe) have both been limited while Khalil Shakir (ankle) has yet to practice after sitting out the Week 5 loss to the Texans. Buffalo will practice again Saturday before publishing its injury report for Monday's game against the Jets.
Oct 10, 2024
Logs limited practice
Hollins (shoulder) was limited at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Meanwhile, Khalil Shakir (ankle) didn't practice, while Curtis Samuel (toe) was limited Thursday, signalling that the trio's status will need to be monitored ahead of Monday night's game against the Jets. Hollins will likely need to progress to a full session by Saturday in order the avoid a Week 6 injury designation.
Oct 6, 2024
Another six-target game
Hollins caught two of six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Hollins played a larger role in the absence of Khalil Shakir (ankle) and tied Dalton Kincaid for the team lead in targets. The increased attention from Josh Allen didn't translate to meaningful fantasy production for Hollins, and he'll be tough to trust in Week 6 against the stout Jets secondary, even if Shakir remains sidelined.
Oct 2, 2024
Targeted six times
Hollins caught one of six targets for five yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Despite seeing a season-high six targets in the contest, Hollins struggled to connect with quarterback Josh Allen and was unable to produce much for fantasy purposes. The eighth-year wideout played 36 of the Bills' 59 offensive snaps Sunday, the second-most of any Buffalo receiver. Hollins' minimal involvement in Buffalo's offensive scheme make him a difficult bet for fantasy purposes. The 31-year-old will look to get more involved in Week 5 when the Bills visit the Texans.
Sep 25, 2024
One grab in win
Hollins secured one of his two targets for 16 yards in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Hollins continued to see limited opportunities Monday, as the veteran wideout has now caught just three passes on five targets for 41 yards through three games. The 31-year-old has not been a priority option in the passing game despite playing at least 60 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps in every contest. Hollins should remain very difficult to trust going forward, starting with a Week 4 matchup against the Ravens.
Sep 13, 2024
Blanked in Week 2 win
Hollins didn't catch his only target in Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Hollins scored a touchdown in his Bills debut last week, but Buffalo's four TDs Thursday came courtesy of three scores from running back James Cook and a pick-six by the defense. Josh Allen and the passing game took a back seat, as Khalil Shakir (five catches for 54 yards) and tight end Dalton Kincaid (four catches for 33 yards) were the only Bills to catch multiple passes. Shakir has an early edge in involvement over Hollins, Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, but a defined pecking order has yet to be established in Buffalo's new-look wide receiver room. Hollins will look to bounce back in Week 3 against the Jaguars.
Sep 11, 2024
Hits pay dirt against Cardinals
Hollins caught both of his targets 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Hollins' touchdown was an 11-yard catch from quarterback Josh Allen to help tie things up at 17 early in the third quarter. The veteran wideout played the second-most offensive snaps (36) behind just Keon Coleman (45) and ahead of Khalil Shakir (33), Curtis Samuel (17) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (13). After one game, it appears that Hollins could step into a more prominent role in Buffalo's new-look passing attack, however he's could see inconsistent usage with so many mouths to feed in the offense. The 30-year-old's two targets trailed both Coleman and Shakir, who saw five and three targets, respectively. Hollins' will hope to stay involved in Week 2 when the Bills visit the Dolphins in a Week 2 divisional showdown.
Aug 12, 2024
Returns to practice
Hollins (leg) will practice Monday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins missed Saturday's preseason contest against the Bears due to a lingering leg injury, but he's now ready to retake the practice field. The veteran journeyman is competing for the No. 4 wide receiver gig behind Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel, so it would help Hollins' case if he's able to suit up and put forth a good showing during Saturday's upcoming road exhibition matchup at Pittsburgh.
Aug 8, 2024
Misses practice with leg injury
Hollins (leg) is not practicing Thursday, NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The severity of Hollins' injury remains undisclosed, but it could well impact his availability for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Bears. Coach Sean McDermott has stated that Josh Allen and the starting offense will get some action Saturday, so sitting out would be a notable opportunity missed for Hollins. The big-bodied journeyman is competing with Marquez Valdes-Scantling, KJ Hamler and Chase Claypool (toe) for a depth role in Buffalo's wide receiver room.
May 19, 2024
More competition emerges
Hollins, who was signed as a free agent by the Bills in March, has seen the receiver room fill out in the time since, with the Bills drafting Keon Coleman in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft while also adding veterans Curtis Samuel, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Chase Claypool.
ANALYSIS
For a very brief period, Hollins was a starter on the otherwise lethal Buffalo offensive depth chart, but things have changed and it now looks as if the Bills will let several journeymen duke it out for slotting. With Buffalo being likely to feature running back James Cook and tight end Dalton Kincaid heavily in the passing game, it's difficult to envision Hollins having anything more than a depth role as a receiver that offers good size in the red zone, though we'll also note he's never caught more than four touchdowns in an NFL season.
Mar 13, 2024
Joining Bills
Hollins is signing with the Bills, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins enjoyed a mini-breakout for the Raiders in 2022 with 690 receiving yards -- more than tripling his previous season high -- but then dropped to 251 yards in 13 games with the Falcons last season. While known for his blocking and special teams contributions as much as his receiving ability, Hollins could take some of the snaps/targets that previously went to Gabe Davis, who is leaving Buffalo to sign with Jacksonville.
Jan 17, 2024
Ends 2023 poorly
Hollins finished 2023 with 18 receptions on 30 targets for 251 yards across 13 appearances.
ANALYSIS
After a breakout 2022 with the Raiders (57 receptions for 690 yards and four touchdowns - all career highs), Hollins landed a one-year deal with Atlanta last offseason and was expected to be the No. 2 option behind Drake London. Over his first nine appearances of 2023, Hollins caught 17 of 29 targets for 247 yards, but his playing time started to dwindle before missing four out of five games between Weeks 10-15 due to an ankle injury. He made one appearance during that stretch, catching his lone target for four yards. Hollins played 45 snaps over the final three weeks but didn't generate a single target. Hollins is one of numerous wideouts set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so the Falcons, who'll have a new head coach after Arthur Smith was fired immediately after the blowout Week 18 loss to New Orleans, may opt to completely revamp their pass-catching corps again in 2024.
Dec 17, 2023
Scratched Sunday
Hollins (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's tilt against the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Hollins returned from a three-game absence to play six offensive snaps (nine percent) and 15 on special teams (47 percent) en route to one reception for four yards in Week 14. However, Atlanta will opt to go with thin depth at receiver in Week 14 in favor of more depth elsewhere.
Dec 13, 2023
Targeted once against Buccaneers
Hollins reeled in his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 29-25 loss to the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Hollins played just six of the Falcons' 72 offensive snaps Sunday, the least of any Atlanta pass catcher. The veteran wideout exited the contest in the first quarter with an ankle injury, but he was able to return to the game. Hollins had previously missed the previous three games due to an ankle injury, so it's promising that he was able to play through the issue against the Buccaneers. In the 10 games he's played, the 28-year-old has recorded just 18 receptions for 251 yards. Hollins should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Falcons visit the Panthers in Week 15.
Dec 10, 2023
Back in action against Tampa Bay
Hollins has returned to Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Buccaneers after departing earlier due to an ankle injury, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins has been battling an ankle issue since early November and missed three games due to the injury. He departed in the first quarter of Sunday's contest and was initially labeled as questionable to return but has since reentered the game. Hollins hasn't exceeded three catches in any game this season, making him a fantasy option only in very deep leagues.
Dec 10, 2023
Questionable to return
Hollins (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The wide receiver was questionable with the same injury going into the day. Hollins did not record a catch before exiting. The veteran has 17 catches for 247 yards and no touchdowns in 2023.
Dec 10, 2023
Will play Sunday
Hollins (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Hollins has been cleared to suit up for the first time since Week 9. However, his role remains a mystery. Hollins opened the season as the No. 2 wideout behind Drake London, but his role was decreasing before his multi-week absence. With Hollins sidelined, Van Jefferson, KhaDarel Hodge and Scott Miller were splitting snaps, but they were unable to deliver consistent production. Hollins should see the field in Week 14, but he'll likely need to find the end zone to submit a quality fantasy performance.
Dec 8, 2023
Technically questionable, should play
Hollins (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, despite being a full practice participant Wednesday through Friday.
ANALYSIS
Hollins is on track to play for the first time since Week 9, though he may not take a lot of snaps and probably won't see many targets even if he does. The Falcons have rotated wide receivers behind Drake London in recent weeks, with Van Jefferson typically getting the most snaps but having minimal impact on the box scores.
Dec 6, 2023
Gets back to full participation
Hollins (ankle) logged a full practice Wednesday, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After sprinkling three limited sessions over the previous two weeks, Hollins finally returned to all activity to start Week 14 prep and thus appears ready for his first game action since Week 9, when he initially suffered an ankle injury. Prior to his recent three-game absence, Hollins was a bit player in the Falcons' passing attack, compiling a 17-247-0 line on 29 targets in nine appearances this season.
Dec 3, 2023
Inactive again
Hollins (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins logged two limited sessions during Week 13 prep - one more than last week - but will remain sidelined for a third straight game. He hasn't played since Week 9 against the Vikings, when he caught three passes for 36 yards, but even when he's cleared to return, Hollins won't hold much fantasy value as the third or fourth pass-catching option in one of the worst passing offenses in the NFL.
Dec 1, 2023
Questionable for Sunday
Hollins (ankle) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Jets, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.comreports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins got a lot of snaps earlier in the year, but it never translated to many targets and his playing time then began to fall off. He hasn't played since Week 9, and if he returns this Sunday it'll likely be as part of a three/four-man rotation sharing snaps behind top wide receiver Drake London in one of the worst passing offenses in the NFL.
Nov 30, 2023
Stays limited Thursday
Hollins (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins appears to be in a better spot than last week, when he managed just one limited listing on Atlanta's injury report before being ruled out ahead of this past Sunday's contest against the Saints. With a pair of capped showings so far during Week 13 prep, he may be putting himself in a position for his first game action since Week 9. Friday's report will reveal whether or not Hollins enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's visit to the Jets.
Nov 29, 2023
Logs limited session Wednesday
Hollins (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Following the Falcons' Week 11 bye, Hollins opened last week with a capped session Wednesday before finishing it with back-to-back absences and the Falcons ruling him out for this past Sunday's contest versus the Saints. He's kicking off Week 13 prep in a similar boat, so his listing on Atlanta's next two practice reports may be key to determining whether or not he's set for his first game action since Week 9, when he injured his ankle in the first half of a loss to the Vikings.
Nov 24, 2023
Ruled out for Saints matchup
Hollins (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The wideout will miss a second straight game despite having a Week 11 bye in between. Van Jefferson and KhaDarel Hodge are the strongest candidates to play a lot of snaps across from WR Drake London this Sunday, with Scotty Miller also likely to have some kind of role. None figures to see a lot of targets, as the Falcons have two tight ends (Kyle Pitts, Jonnu Smith) and a running back (Bijan Robinson) that consistently get more looks than the Nos. 2 and 3 wide receivers. Hollins' next chance to play is Week 13 at the Jets.
Nov 23, 2023
Not practicing Thursday
Hollins (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins operated with a cap on his reps Wednesday, so his downgrade in activity one day later is a worrisome sign for his potential to play Week 12. Friday's injury report could be telling for Hollins in that regard.
Nov 22, 2023
On track for limited practice
Hollins (ankle) will be limited at practice Wednesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins didn't practice at all ahead of the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Cardinals, but after his team's bye week, the wideout is trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints. If Hollins is able to return to action this weekend, he'd only be an option in deeper fantasy formats, having logged a 17/247/0 receiving line (on 29 targets) through nine games this season.
Nov 20, 2023
Not ready to practice
Hollins (ankle) didn't participate in practice during the portion of Monday's session that was open to the media, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Atlanta won't release its next injury report until Wednesday, but due to a Week 11 bye, the Falcons got a head start on their Week 12 prep by getting back on the field Monday for an unofficial practice session. Before the bye week, Hollins hadn't practiced in any fashion ahead of Atlanta's Week 10 loss to Arizona, so it's not the most encouraging sign for his status heading into Sunday's game against the Saints that he's not yet back on the field. If Hollins ends up missing a second straight game this weekend, Van Jefferson, KhaDarel Hodge and Scott Miller could all be in store for expanded roles behind No. 1 wideout Drake London.
Nov 10, 2023
Not practicing
Hollins (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Arizona.
ANALYSIS
Hollins lost playing time to Van Jefferson and KhaDarel Hodge the past couple weeks and now will miss his first game of the season. It shouldn't have much impact on Atlanta's gameplan, especially with Drake London cleared to return after missing Week 9 with a groin injury. Hollins stands a decent chance to avoid additional absences with the Falcons on bye Week 11.
Nov 9, 2023
Not practicing Thursday
Hollins (ankle) wasn't on the field for Thursday's practice, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins is missing his second practice in a row to begin Week 10 prep after he was sidelined for the entire second half of last Sunday's loss to the Vikings due to the ankle injury. He'll have one more opportunity Friday to fit in some on-field work before the Falcons potentially give him a designation for this weekend's game in Arizona. If Hollins can't play Sunday, the Falcons would turn to the likes of Van Jefferson, KhaDarel Hodge and Scotty Miller to round out their receiver ranks behind No. 1 wideout Drake London (groin).
Nov 8, 2023
Not at practice
Hollins (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
It's no surprise given that coach Arthur Smith said Monday that Hollins' ankle injury was the most worrisome of the new injuries acquired during a loss to the Vikings on Sunday. In any case, Hollins had been minimized in the offense in recent weeks, only reappearing as a significant contributor this past Sunday because Drake London (groin) was inactive. London returned to practice Wednesday, and the Falcons also seems to view KhaDarel Hodge and Van Jefferson as either ahead of Hollins or on similar footing.
Nov 6, 2023
Status shaky for Week 10
Head coach Arthur Smith said Monday that Hollins' ankle issue is the injury he's most concerned about heading into the team's Week 10 game against the Cardinals, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins didn't see any snaps in the second half of this past Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Vikings after recorded three catches for 36 yards between the first two quarters before departing with the ankle injury. While Smith didn't go into specifics regarding the severity of Hollins' injury, the 30-year-old wideout's status for Week 10 looks to be up in the air, at the very least. Fortunately for Atlanta, Smith said that top wideout Drake London (groin) is looking likely to return to action against Arizona after sitting out Week 9.
Nov 5, 2023
Hurts ankle, return questionable
Hollins is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings after suffering an ankle injury in the first half, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Though the receivers typically aren't frequently involved in Atlanta's run-centric offense, the position group would be significantly compromised nonetheless if Hollins isn't able to check back into the game, as No. 1 wideout Drake London (groin) is inactive this week. Hollins recorded three receptions for 36 yards on three targets before leaving the contest to get his ankle checked out.
Oct 30, 2023
Season-low 14 offensive snaps
Hollins caught two of three targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Hollins played at least 65 percent of the team's offensive snaps in each of the first four weeks, including a season-high 79 percent against the Jaguars in Week 4. However, his playing time has dropped since, culminating in a season-low 14 offensive snaps versus Tennessee. The wideout actually played more on special teams (25 snaps) than he did on offense Sunday. This is especially concerning given Drake London (groin) left the game in the third quarter and never returned. Hollins doesn't need to be on fantasy radars in standard leagues until he proves otherwise.
Oct 25, 2023
Not targeted in win
Hollins failed to record a single target in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Hollins was held without a target for the first time Sunday, as the receiver continued to see a drop in playing time. The veteran wideout has now played fewer than 30 offensive snaps in three straight games and played behind Drake London and Van Jefferson in the contest. It is possible that Jefferson could limit Hollins' opportunities going forward, making the latter even more difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. The 30-year-old will look to bounce back in Week 8 when the Falcons visit the Titans.
Oct 16, 2023
Sees drop in playing time
Hollins caught three of four targets for 41 yards during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Hollins has played fewer than 30 offensive snaps in back-to-back games after totaling 180 through the first four weeks of the season. Despite seeing a drop in playing time, the wideout has still been a part of the passing attack, securing five receptions (six targets) for 70 yards over the past two games. However, that's not enough production to crack fantasy relevancy in standard leagues. The Falcons' run-heavy offense has actually been airing it out recently, but Hollins remains, at best, the fourth or fifth option in the passing attack.
Oct 9, 2023
Plays season-low 29 offensive snaps
Hollins caught both of his targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 21-19 win over the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Hollins saw at least 30 offensive snaps in each of the first four weeks, including 45 or more over the past three games. However, he saw his role decrease significantly versus Houston, as KhaDarel Hodge (37 offensive snaps) operated as the second wide receiver behind Drake London. It's unclear if this was strictly a matchup-based decision, or if Hodge has surpassed Hollins on the depth chart, but either way, neither player has strong fantasy value at the moment.
Oct 2, 2023
Held without a catch
Hollins failed to record a catch on three targets during Sunday's 23-7 loss to Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
Hollins went catchless for the first time this season, and at one point, he appeared to be visibly frustrated with Desmond Ridder on the sidelines. Fantasy managers probably don't need to read too much into the incident, but it's certainly worth noting, especially when Atlanta has the highest-paid backup quarterback, Taylor Heinicke, waiting in the wings if Ridder continues to struggle. After an encouraging start, Hollins' production has dropped off in back-to-back weeks. He's garnered at least three targets in each game thus far, but that's not enough usage to crack fantasy relevance in standard leagues.
Sep 25, 2023
Makes most of lone reception
Hollins caught one of four targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Hollins saw at least four targets for a third straight game to start the campaign, but he finished with a season low in receptions and yards. He has a firm grasp on the No. 2 wideout role and is flashing as a big-play option, averaging a career-high 16.3 yards per reception. However, as expected, Hollins' fantasy production has been modest to start his Falcons tenure.
Sep 18, 2023
Makes splash play in win
Hollins caught three of six targets for 60 yards during Sunday's 25-24 win over the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Hollins has caught three passes in back-to-back weeks to open the season and is firmly entrenched as Atlanta's No. 2 wideout, as he played over 45 more snaps than Scotty Miller and KhaDarel Hodge. The majority of Hollins' production came on a trick play in the fourth quarter, which essentially sparked the Falcons' comeback win. The wideout also had a touchdown in the third quarter called back after a controversial review. It was a solid performance, but Hollins' fantasy value remains limited while operating in a run-heavy offense.
Sep 11, 2023
Modest production in Week 1
Hollins caught three of four targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Hollins finished second on the team in targets behind Bijan Robinson (six) and second on the team in receiving yards behind Kyle Pitts (44). Hollins was also one of three pass catchers to secure at least three passes and is clearly locked in as Atlanta's No. 2 wideout, though he still remains the third or fourth option in the passing attack. Hollins' 33 offensive snaps were second most among wideouts, trailing only Drake London, and were well ahead of Scotty Miller (10) and KhaDarel Hodge (seven). However, as evidenced by London's zero-catch performance in the season opener, fantasy managers will have to be cautious about relying on pass catchers in coach Arthur Smith's run-heavy scheme.
Aug 27, 2023
Locked in as No. 2 WR
Hollins didn't play in Atlanta's preseason finale against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Hollins, along with the rest of Atlanta's starters, only played in Week 2 of the preseason. The wideout caught both of his targets for 20 yards during the exhibition versus Cinncinati, and his exclusion from the preseason finale suggests he's a coveted piece of the Falcons' offense moving forward. While Hollins is the No. 2 wideout on the depth chart, he's likely to operate as the fourth pass-catching option behind Drake London, Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson. Given Desmond Ridder's presumed hiccups as a first-time starter and Hollins' current standing in the offense, it'll be difficult for the wideout to replicate the career-high numbers (57 catches on 94 targets for 690 yards and four TDs) he set with Las Vegas last year, which he was able to accrue due to injuries to Darren Waller, Hunter Renfrow and Davante Adams.
Mar 19, 2023
Lands in Atlanta
Hollins agreed to a one-year deal with the Falcons on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins had a career-best performance with the Raiders in 2022, appearing in all 17 games and securing 57 of 94 targets for 690 yards and four touchdowns. The 29-year-old will attempt to carve out a role in Atlanta behind Drake London in 2023.
Jan 9, 2023
Two catches in finale
Hollins caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Saturday's 31-13 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Hollins paced the Raiders' wide receiver corps in offensive snaps played Saturday with 66 of a possible 70 for a 94-percent rate, but he averaged just five yards per target while Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow combined for 12 catches on 16 targets for 136 yards a touchdown. Despite catching only six passes for 62 yards on nine targets throughout the team's final three games, Hollins still managed to more than triple his previous career high in single-season receptions, posting a 57-690-4 line on 94 targets in 17 games during his first year with Las Vegas. Slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Hollins could be on the move if the Raiders elect against re-signing the 29-year-old.
Jan 1, 2023
Gains 40 yards in overtime loss
Hollins caught three of four targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Hollins bounced back with a solid effort following an anemic performance against Pittsburgh in Week 16. The veteran wideout made a couple of big-chunk plays with new quarterback Jarrett Stidham under center. The latter appeared to look towards his deep threats more than previous starter Derek Carr, who preferred to hit underneath routes more often than not. Assuming Stidham sticks as starter, Hollins could provide great value as a DFS flyer against the Chiefs on Sunday.
Dec 27, 2022
Minimal involvement in loss
Hollins caught one of two targets for seven yards in Saturday's 13-10 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Hollins played 50 of the Raider's 53 offensive snaps in the contest as the team's No. 2 receiver, but the 29-year-old was unable to do much damage. Despite playing double the snaps of No. 3 wideout Hunter Renfrow, Hollins was basically a non-factor Saturday while Renfrow caught four of his seven targets for 42 yards and the Raiders' only touchdown. Hollins has posted up-and-down performances over the course of the 2022 season, making him difficult to trust for fantasy purposes when the Raiders host the 49ers in Week 17.
Dec 18, 2022
Finds end zone in win
Hollins caught four of eight targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
New England focused on shutting down Davante Adams and succeeded, holding him to four catches for 28 yards, but Derek Carr turned to other options instead and hit Hollins for a five-yard score just before halftime. Even with the return of Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller from injured reserve, Hollins remained involved in the game plan and caught multiple passes for the ninth straight game, a streak he'll look to extend in Week 16 against the Steelers.
Dec 9, 2022
Garners 62 total yards in loss
Hollins brought in two of four targets for 22 yards and rushed three times for 40 yards in the Raiders' 17-16 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
The veteran receiver was surprisingly the Raiders' second-leading rusher behind Josh Jacobs, and he was also the runner-up to Davante Adams in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Hollins' catch and yardage tallies were his lowest since Week 10, while his target total was his sparsest since Week 9. With Hunter Renfrow (oblique) and Darren Waller (hamstring) both potentially set to come off injured reserve for a Week 15 home battle versus the Patriots a week from Sunday, Hollins could see his volume remain modest for that contest.
Dec 4, 2022
Five grabs in Sunday's win
Hollins caught five of nine targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
He was the only Raider other than Davante Adams to catch more than two passes, but Hollins' performance paled in comparison to his teammate's 8-177-2 line. Hollins has been reasonably productive over the last three games, catching 15 passes on 23 targets for 150 yards and a touchdown, but the potential returns of Hunter Renfrow (oblique) and Darren Waller (hamstring) for Thursday's game against the Rams could reduce his role in the Las Vegas offense.
Nov 27, 2022
Finds end zone in OT win
Hollins caught four of five targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
His third TD of the season came early in the second quarter on a bit of trickery by the Raiders, as a flea flicker left Hollins wide open for a 36-yard score. The 29-year-old has multiple catches in six straight games, posting a 23-258-2 line on 35 targets over that stretch and giving him a solid fantasy floor heading into a Week 13 matchup with the Chargers.
Nov 20, 2022
Earns nine targets
Hollins recorded six receptions on nine targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
The Raiders remained heavily concentrated in their offensive approach, with Josh Jacobs and Davante Adams accounting for the majority of the production. Hollins was next in line, finishing second on the team in targets, receptions and yards. While it was an encouraging performance, Hollins has been highly inconsistent this season, posting fewer than 20 receiving yards in four of 10 games.
Nov 13, 2022
Makes little impact Sunday
Hollins caught two of six targets for 18 yards and gained zero yards on his only carry in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Even with Hunter Renfrow (oblique) and Darren Waller (hamstring) sidelined, Hollins didn't see any kind of increase in his target volume or production. The journeyman wideout isn't likely to break out in Week 11 against a Broncos secondary that held him to a 3-33-0 line on five targets in their first meeting this year.
Nov 10, 2022
Likely to step in as No. 2 wideout
Hollins could see more opportunities in the Las Vegas passing attack during the next four games while the Raiders are without Hunter Renfrow (oblique), who is in line to be placed on injured reserve, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Tashan Reed of The Athletic posits that the Raiders could deploy Davante Adams more frequently in the slot in Renfrow's stead to help manufacture more catchable targets for their top wideout, but in any case, Renfrow's impending absence is a positive development for Hollins, who has been a tertiary member of the passing attack for most of the season. In addition to Renfrow, Darren Waller (hamstring) is also headed to injured reserve, though fellow tight end Foster Moreau could prove to be more of a one-for-one replacement for him in terms of both snaps and targets. Even with Adams primed to perhaps dominate the looks from quarterback Derek Carr to an even greater extent, there could be enough room for Hollins to make a more consistent weekly impact. Notably, Hollins' best game of the season came in one of the two contests that Renfrow had previously missed back in Week 3. During that 24-22 loss to the Titans, Hollins reeled in eight of 11 targets for 158 yards and a touchdown.
Nov 6, 2022
Limited to two catches
Hollins recorded two receptions on four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Hollins entered Sunday's game having recorded a combined nine receptions for 108 yards and a touchdown across his last two games. However, he struggled to produce against the Jaguars, primarily because Davante Adams commanded 17 targets. While he's shown the ability to produce, Hollins' opportunity will likely continue to be inconsistent moving forward -- particularly once Darren Waller (hamstring) is able to return.
Nov 4, 2022
Avoids injury report
Hollins (heel) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins was limited in all three of Vegas' practices but evidently looked healthy enough to avoid the final injury report. He led the team in catches (seven) and receiving yards (64) against the Saints in Week 8, so Hollins has earned quarterback Derek Carr's trust heading into the Week 9 trip to Jacksonville.
Nov 3, 2022
Puts in limited practice
Hollins (heel) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins had his reps capped for the second day in a row, but assuming he continues to practice in some capacity Friday, he should have a good shot at playing Sunday in Jacksonville even if the Raiders list him as questionable heading into the weekend. He previously took a questionable tag into last weekend's 24-0 loss to the Saints but ended up suiting up en route to turning in a 7-64-0 receiving line on eight targets on a 91 percent snap share.
Nov 2, 2022
Listed on injury report again
Hollins (heel) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins was listed with the same injury last week and ended up catching seven of eight targets for 64 yards in a 24-0 loss to New Orleans. It was just his third time with me than five targets this season, but he does have respectable per-game averages (3.7 catches for 54.4 yards) thanks in large part to a shocking 8-158-1 receiving line Week 3 at Tennessee. Hollins likely will be able to suit up this Sunday in Jacksonville but probably won't see as many targets unless Davante Adams continues to struggle with an illness through the weekend.
Oct 30, 2022
Leads team in receiving
Hollins caught seven of eight targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Hollins overcame a heel issue to suit up and ultimately lead the Raiders in catches and receiving yardage. His production came while starting wideouts Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow combined for a paltry nine yards between them. While they should be expected to rebound in Week 9 versus Jaguars, when tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) could potentially return as well, Hollins at least performed well in Sunday's poor team performance.
Oct 30, 2022
Active for Sunday's game
Hollins (heel) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Hollins is available if you need him in Week 8 fantasy lineups, but the wideout's production has cooled off since he logged an 8-158-1 receiving line on 11 targets in Week 3 against the Titans. In three contests since then, Hollins has totaled five catches for 77 yards and a TD on 12 targets, a context that makes the 29-year-old a speculative fantasy option, with both Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow also in uniform Sunday.
Oct 28, 2022
Questionable for Week 8 matchup
Hollins (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in New Orleans, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
He'll take an injury designation into the weekend after he was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday due to the heel issue. Hollins has yet to miss a game this season, but his production has trended down since he turned in an 8-158-1 receiving line on 11 targets Week 3 in Tennessee. In the Raiders' subsequent three contests, Hollins has combined for a 5-77-1 line on 12 targets.
Oct 26, 2022
Limited at practice Wednesday
Hollins (heel) was limited at practice Wednesday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins was limited at practice last week by a heel injury, but the wideout suited up for Sunday's win over the Texans and ended up playing all 56 snaps on offense. With no reported setbacks in that contest, we suspect that Hollins' listed limitations Wednesday were simply a matter of rep management ahead of this weekend's game against the Saints.
Oct 23, 2022
Grabs TD in win over Houston
Hollins caught two of three targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Josh Jacobs and the Raiders' defense accounted for most of the team's points, but Hollins was on the other end of Derek Carr's only TD pass of the day just before halftime. It's the veteran wideout's second score of the year, but with only 12 targets over the last three games, he remains a risky fantasy option heading into a Week 8 clash with the Saints.
Oct 23, 2022
Listed as active Sunday
Hollins (heel) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Though Hollins recorded a 95 percent snap share in the Raiders' 30-29 loss to Kansas City back in Week 5, the wideout didn't haul in any of his four targets in the contest. With top TE Darren Waller (hamstring) out Sunday, however, Hollins has some bounce-back potential, but it remains to be seen how much the heel issue that limited him in practice this past week affects him, if at all, versus Houston.
Oct 23, 2022
Looks like game-time decision
Hollins (heel), who is officially listed as questionable, will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The Raiders reportedly feel optimistic about Hollins and Hunter Renfrow (hip), but both will need to workout pre-game to determine their availability, meaning a final decision may not be made until 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. With Darren Waller (hamstring) already ruled out, quarterback Derek Carr can't afford to lose many more pass catchers behind Davante Adams.
Oct 21, 2022
Questionable for Sunday
Hollins (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Texans, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins hasn't lacked for snaps this season, earning at least 88 percent on offense in all five games. His target share and subsequently his output have wavered wildly, though, depending on the personnel available to the team. While Hollins and fellow wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (hip) are questionable to play this weekend, top tight end Darren Waller has been ruled out. As a result, targets are up for grabs for Hollins and Renfrow, if they're active.

Limited by heel issue
Hollins (heel) was limited at practice Wednesday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite logging a 95 percent snap share in the Raiders' 30-29 loss to Kansas City in Week 5, Hollins did not record a catch on four targets. It's unclear if the wideout's heel issue is something that he picked up during that contest or related to an in-practice injury. If Hollins does suit up Sunday against the Texans, he'll have to compete with slot man Hunter Renfrow for passing targets that don't go in the direction of top wideout Davante Adams.
Oct 11, 2022
Blanked on MNF
Hollins failed to haul in any of his four targets in Monday's 30-29 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Hollins was held without a catch in fellow receiver Hunter Renfrow's return from a two-game absence, but it wasn't due to a lack of opportunity as the former accrued over 100 air yards on four targets while playing 61 of the Raiders' 64 offensive snaps. Drops were an issue for Hollins, while Davante Adams stole the spotlight with three receptions for 124 yards and two scores. Hollins will look to bounce back against the Texans after Las Vegas' upcoming bye week.
Oct 2, 2022
Three grabs in Sunday's win
Hollins caught three of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 32-23 win over the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
After a career-best performance last week, Hollins crashed back to earth in this one, but with Derek Carr managing only 188 passing yards, there wasn't much production to go around for anyone not named Davante Adams. Hollins' role and target volume could be dependent on how quickly Hunter Renfrow (concussion) returns to action, but the entire Las Vegas passing game will probably need to make a much bigger impact in Week 5 against Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City.
Sep 30, 2022
To be leaned on again Sunday
Hollins is in line for more work Sunday against the Broncos with Hunter Renfrow (concussion) ruled out for a second consecutive game.
ANALYSIS
Even before Renfrow suffered at concussion at the end of a Week 2 loss to the Cardinals, Hollins had eight targets versus 10 for Renfrow. And with his teammate sidelined this past Sunday at Tennessee, Hollins hauled in eight of 11 targets for 158 yards and one touchdown. Davante Adams and Darren Waller are the household names in the Raiders' receiving corps, but Hollins has done well for himself through three games, already setting a career high for receiving yards in a season with 240 on his 14 catches.
Sep 25, 2022
Huge effort against Titans
Hollins recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 158 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Hollins surprisingly tied for the team lead in targets and he turned that into an impressive 158-yard showing. A lot of his damage came in the final six minutes of the game, including receptions of 60 and 48 yards as well as a nine-yard touchdown catch. Though it was an impressive showing, Hollins will be unlikely to repeat his heroics moving forward -- particularly once Hunter Renfroe (concussion) is able to return.
Sep 19, 2022
Seven first-half targets Sunday
Hollins caught five passes for 66 yards on eight targets in an overtime loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Hollins paced the Raiders in receiving yards Sunday while Arizona's defense limited Davante Adams to a 2-12-1 line on seven targets, but much of Hollins' production came early in the contest as he made all five of his catches before halftime. Hollins did manage to draw a massive defensive pass interference penalty late in the third quarter, advancing the ball 47 yards and into field-goal range. Fellow receiver Hunter Renfrow (concussion) was injured on the final play of overtime, so Hollins could see a worthwhile target share again in Week 3 against the Titans if Renfrow fails to clear protocol.
Sep 12, 2022
Solidified as No. 3 receiver
Hollins caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Hollins encouragingly was on the field for 51 of the Raiders' 58 offensive snaps, but he registered just a three-percent target share while Davante Adams hogged quarterback Derek Carr's attention with 17 looks of his own. Nonetheless, Hollins appears to be locked in as Las Vegas' third option at receiver behind Adams and slot man Hunter Renfrow, though tight end Darren Waller remains an integral part of the aerial attack as well.
Aug 31, 2022
Locks down roster spot
Hollins has a spot on the Raiders' initial 53-man roster.
ANALYSIS
The Raiders kept Hollins, Tyron Johnson and DJ Turner behind starters Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow. Based on preseason usage, Hollins could open the year as the No. 3, though it isn't likely to be a high-volume role in terms of targets and he might share snaps with Johnson. The Raiders open their season with a road game against the division-rival Chargers in Week 1.
Aug 1, 2022
Performing well in training camp
Vic Tafur of The Athletic describes Hollins as "one of the stars of the offseason workouts and training camp for the Raiders."
ANALYSIS
Hollins has played well on the field while also providing a positive presence in the locker room with his new team. The offseason addition at wide receiver is likely to secure a roster spot, but earning significant playing time will be difficult unless Hollins beats out both Keelan Cole and Demarcus Robinson for snaps behind Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow.
Mar 16, 2022
Signing with Raiders
Hollins has agreed to terms with the Raiders, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 6-foot-4, 221-pounder is coming off a 2021 campaign in which he recorded 14 catches (on 28 targets) for 223 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games. The 28-year-old now joins a Raiders wide receiver corps currently led by Hunter Renfrow and Bryan Edwards. At this stage, Hollins is a candidate to make a run at the No. 3 slot, but it seems likely he'll face competition from players not currently on the team's roster.
Jan 10, 2022
End campaign without fanfare
Hollins failed to secure his only target during Sunday's season finale 33-24 win over New England.
ANALYSIS
Hollins ends the 2021 campaign with only one catch in his final four appearances, and a total statline of 14 grabs (28 targets) for 223 yards and four touchdowns. The 28-year-old has emerged as a solid reserve red-zone option for Miami, but he's scheduled for free agency this offseason, and a new coaching staff may be inclined to look elsewhere.
Jan 3, 2022
Silent in blowout loss
Hollins failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Hollins made a 40-yard grab during Week 16's win over the Saints, but other than that he's only recorded five receiving yards since Week 12. Even in the deepest of fantasy formats, it's difficult to imagine viewing Hollins as even a flier during Week 18's regular-season finale against the Patriots.
Dec 29, 2021
Makes one big play vs. Saints
Hollins secured one of two targets for 40 yards during Monday's 20-3 win over the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Hollins made the most of his limited opportunities on offense, recording his second play of more than 35 yards this season. That said, Hollins has played less than 20 percent of offensive snaps in three straight games, with only four targets in that span. He can be left off the fantasy radar in most formats for Week 17's matchup at Tennessee.
Dec 21, 2021
Can't secure lone target
Hollins failed to secure his only target during Sunday's divisional win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Hollins could have had an opportunity for increased target volume with Jaylen Waddle sidelined Week 15, but he took a back seat to both DeVante Parker and Isaiah Ford. With just three targets in his last three appearances, and Waddle back in action, Hollins can safely be left off the fantasy radar heading into a Monday night matchup in New Orleans.
Dec 7, 2021
Scores fourth TD of season
Hollins caught his only target for a five-yard touchdown during Sunday's win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Hollins made the most of his only offensive opportunity Week 13, and he's only seen six targets in his last four appearances. That said, the Dolphins have shown a willingness to deploy Hollins on designed plays in the red zone, which gives him a small niche in especially deep fantasy formats.
Nov 21, 2021
Scores 65-yard TD in win
Hollins caught two of three targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Hollins got behind New York's secondary in the third quarter, and Tua Tagovailoa found him for a 65-yard touchdown. While Hollins has only been targeted more than three times twice this season, his field-stretching ability will keep him on the fantasy radar in deeper formats when the Dolphins face the Panthers in Week 12, especially if DeVante Parker (shoulder) and Will Fuller (finger) remain on IR.
Nov 13, 2021
No catches Thursday
Hollins failed to secure his only target during Thursday's 22-10 win over the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Hollins couldn't get involved on offense Thursday, even though he played 62 percent of snaps with both Will Fuller (finger) and DeVante Parker (shoulder) sidelined. Fuller reportedly has a chance to return for Week 11, so even in the deepest of formats it may be safe to simply leave Hollins off the fantasy radar.
Nov 7, 2021
Finds end zone in win
Hollins brought in three of six targets for 22 yards in the Dolphins' 17-9 win over the Texans on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Hollins notched the Dolphins' only touchdown through the air on the afternoon, recording a five-yard scoring grab late in the second quarter. The fifth-year veteran now has touchdowns in two of the last three games, although he's sandwiched those accomplishments around a catch-less effort against the Bills in Week 8. Hollins' next chance to extend his modestly favorable stretch comes Thursday night in a Week 10 home matchup against the Ravens.
Nov 2, 2021
Silent in divisional loss
Hollins failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Hollins played just three offensive snaps with DeVante Parker back in the lineup, though he also handled 16 snaps on special teams. The 28-year-old stands to see a similarly limited amount of opportunities versus Houston in Week 9.
Oct 26, 2021
First score of season
Hollins caught two of three catches for 13 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Hollins played 51 percent of offensive snaps with DeVante Parker (shoulder) and Will Fuller (finger) both still sidelined, and he translated his opportunities into the third touchdown of his NFL career. It's possible that Miami's receiving corps could still be missing Parker and Fuller for Week 8's road game against the Bills, but even in that case, Hollins can't be considered a reliable enough fantasy asset to warrant starting consideration in any but the deepest of formats.
Oct 18, 2021
Four catches vs. Jacksonville
Hollins secured four of five targets for 61 yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Hollins had by far his best game of the season with a all three of DeVante Parker (shoulder), Will Fuller (finger) and Preston Williams (groin) sidelined. Injuries may allow Hollins to benefit from extra snaps once again Week 7, when the Dolphins will work to expose Atlanta's questionable secondary.
Oct 17, 2021
Headed for extra snaps
Hollins is expected to take on an expanded role at receiver for the Dolphins during Sunday's game in London against the Jaguars with DeVante Parker (shoulder/hamstring) and Preston Williams (groin) inactive for the contest, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Will Fuller (finger) also remains on injured reserve, so Miami will be without three of its top four receivers Week 6. Jaylen Waddle is locked in as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's top target at the position, but it's unclear who among Hollins, Albert Wilson, Isaiah Ford and Kirk Merritt might start alongside the rookie first-round pick. Given that Ford and Merritt were recently called up from the practice squad, Wilson and Hollins would appear to be first in line for reps alongside Waddle, though Kelly notes that Miami is also expected to deploy more two-tight end sets than usual. Hollins drew his first pair of targets of the season in last week's loss to the Buccaneers, recording a 10-yard reception.
Aug 19, 2021
Making case for roster spot
Hollins as put together an impressive training camp and is on the right track for a spot on the 53-man roster, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins is competing for one of a handful of depth spots in Miami's crowded wide receiver room, but his acumen on special teams could prove beneficial in securing such a role. The fifth-year pro handled 228 special-teams snaps through 16 contests last season, and he was solid when called upon to contribute on offense.
Mar 23, 2021
Returns to Dolphins
Hollins has re-signed with the Dolphins, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins is coming off a 2020 campaign in which he caught 16 of his 25 targets for 176 yards and a TD in 16 games. The 2017 fourth-rounder is off the fantasy radar in most formats, but his return bolsters Miami's wide receiver depth and allows the 27-year-old to reprise his special-teams duties with the team.
Jan 5, 2021
Makes single grab Week 17
Hollins secured his only target for three yards during Week 17's 56-26 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Hollins appeared in all 16 games for the Dolphins in 2020, his first time logging a full season since playing for the Eagles as a rookie in 2017. While working with both Tua Tagovailoa and Ryan Fitzpatrick in that span, Hollins caught 16 of 25 targets for 176 yards and the second touchdown of his career. The 27-year-old is set to hit free agency this offseason, but his relatively reliable stint with Miami may make it easier for Hollins to secure a depth role elsewhere.
Dec 27, 2020
Makes game-winning catch
Hollins secured two of four targets for 42 yards during Saturday's 26-25 win over the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Hollins' best catch of the day came in the form of a 34-yard grab down the left side of the field with just 19 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, a play which set the Dolphins up for a game-winning field goal. The 27-year-old could handle another expanded role on offense Week 17 if DeVante Parker remains sidelined.
Dec 21, 2020
Just one grab Week 15
Hollins caught one of two targets for eight yards during Sunday's 22-12 win over New England.
ANALYSIS
Hollins played a season-high 96 percent of offensive snaps with both DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Jakeem Grant (hamstring) sidelined, but he was only able to translate his playing time into two looks from Tua Tagovailoa. If the Dolphins' top receivers can get healthy enough to suit up Week 16 against the Raiders, Hollins may find himself back in a reserve role.
Dec 20, 2020
Likely to get more work Sunday
Hollins could be in line for an expanded role in Miami's passing attack Sunday against the Patriots with DeVante Parker (hamstring), Jakeem Grant (hamstring) and Mike Gesicki (shoulder) all inactive for the contest, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
In addition to the three inactive pass catchers, the Dolphins remain without the services of another starting wideout in Preston Williams (foot), who remains on injured reserve. Those absences leave rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with few options at his disposal, but Hollins and Lynn Bowden probably rank as the most intriguing options for fantasy purposes. When Parker, Grant and Gesicki all exited with their respective injuries in the Dolphins' Week 14 loss to the Chiefs, it was Hollins (five receptions for 66 yards on nine targets, 48 percent offensive snap share) and Bowden (seven receptions for 82 yards on nine targets, 71 percent) who stepped up the most.
Dec 13, 2020
Steps up after teammates get hurt
Hollins caught five of nine targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Hollins tied Lynn Bowden for the team lead in targets and finished second to Bowden in receiving yards, as Miami had to dig deep into its wide receiver depth chart after losing both Devante Parker and Jakeem Grant to leg injuries. If Parker, Grant or tight end Mike Gesicki -- who left with a shoulder injury after scoring two touchdowns -- are unable to play against the Eagles in Week 15, Hollins and Bowden will likely continue to soak up most of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's passing attempts.
Dec 6, 2020
Gets ejected in win
Hollins secured his only target for seven yards in the Dolphins' 19-7 win over the Bengals on Sunday before getting ejected for fighting with 12:07 remaining in the game.
ANALYSIS
Hollins played a minimal role in the offense before becoming embroiled in a sizable brawl near the sideline following Mike Thomas' premature hit on Jakeem Grant during a punt-return attempt. The fourth-year wideout has at least one reception in five consecutive games, but he's tallied no more than 19 yards in any of those contests.
Nov 30, 2020
Fourth straight game with a catch
Hollins secured two of three targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Hollins actually notched season-high marks in terms of catches, yards and targets versus New York, though his impact on offense was still ultimately minimal. He did so while handling the second most offensive snaps (66 percent) of any Dolphins receiver, behind DeVante Parker, perhaps because Jakeem Grant was still feeling the impact of his hamstring injury.
Nov 16, 2020
Minor impact on offense
Collins caught his only target for one yard during Sunday's 29-21 win over the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Hollins also played 54 percent of snaps on special teams, an area where the Dolphins utilize his skillset more. In the wake of Preston Williams (knee) being placed on IR, Hollins has recorded back-to-back weeks with a catch.
Nov 11, 2020
Opportunity knocks
Hollins could be an option to enter the starting lineup with Preston Williams (foot) having been placed on IR, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hollins made the most of his opportunity after Williams was forced out of last weekend's win over the Cardinals, turning his first target of the season into a touchdown. Jakeem Grant may be a likelier candidate to start across from DeVante Parker, though the Dolphins could also put a cap on his offensive reps in favor of keeping him fresh for return duties. Malcolm Perry and Lynn Bowden could also be candidates to push Hollins for the No. 3 role as long as Williams is sidelined.
Nov 9, 2020
Scores on only target
Hollins hauled in his only target for 11 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Hollins took the field in relief of Preston Williams (foot), who had to be carted off due to a sprain in the first half after scoring a touchdown of his own. He finished the game having played 28 percent of offensive snaps, less than both Jakeem Grant (48 percent) and Malcolm Perry (38 percent). If Williams can't return against the Chargers in Week 10, Hollins will have limited fantasy appeal in deep formats.
