Patriots' Mack Hollins: Initially deemed questionable for SB
Rotowire
Hollins (abdomen) is estimated as questionable on Friday's injury report for Super Bowl LX versus Seattle on Sunday, Feb.8.
Hollins returned from a four-week absence to play in last Sunday's AFC Championship Game against Denver and caught both of his targets for 51 yards. This week, Hollins was estimated as limited Wednesday and Thursday before being deemed a full participant Friday. His designation of questionable heading into this weekend is a nod to how the Patriots would tag him if the team was playing this Sunday -- which it's obviously not -- so a better understanding of Hollins' chances of playing in the Super Bowl should come to light with his practice participation levels next week. Unless he suffered a setback against the Broncos, the expectation should be that Hollins will be available for the title game.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Logs limited practice Thursday
Rotowire
Hollins (abdomen) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Hollins landed on injured reserve in December due to an abdominal injury, but he was activated off IR ahead of the Patriots' victory over the Broncos during Sunday's AFC Championship Game, when he caught both of his targets for 51 yards. He likely will continue to have his practice reps limited ahead of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8 in order to avoid an aggravation of the injury.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Tending to abdomen issue
Rotowire
Hollins (abdomen) was estimated as a limited practice participant on the Patriots' injury report Wednesday.
Hollins was able to play through his lingering abdomen injury in the AFC Championship at Denver, catching both of his two targets for 51 yards. However, the issue is apparently still bothering him as New England begins its preparations for the Super Bowl. His level of activity once the Patriots actually start holding practices will be worth keeping an eye on as Super Bowl LX approaches.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Cleared for AFC Championship Game
Rotowire
Hollins (abdomen) is active for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Broncos.
Hollins had been listed as questionable heading into Sunday, but his return to action had already been set in motion by the Patriots activating him from injured reserve Saturday. The wideout had missed the final two games of the regular season as well as the Patriots' first two postseason contests while recovering from an abdominal issue. Hollins closed the week of prep with a full practice Friday, and the Patriots' decision to make fellow wideout Efton Chism inactive for the contest likely signals that the veteran receiver won't be under any strict limitations Sunday. A valued blocker, Hollins was also a productive secondary option in the passing game during the regular season, finishing with 46 catches for 550 yards and two touchdowns on 65 targets over 15 appearances.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Hollins (abdomen) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Broncos, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
The Patriots placed Hollins on IR on Dec. 27, with the wideout having returned to a limited practice session Thursday. If Hollins -- who worked fully Friday -- is activated ahead of Sunday's contest (a move that would need to occur by Saturday afternoon), he'd bolster a New England WR corps that also includes Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, Kyle Williams, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism. In such a scenario, Hollins would be a speculative fantasy option this weekend, considered he's coming off an injury as well as the Patriots' tendency to spread around targets in their passing game.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Has practice window opened
Rotowire
The Patriots designated Hollins (abdomen) for return from injured reserve Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Hollins landed on IR after Week 16 due to an abdominal injury, and while coach Mike Vrabel told Evan Lazar of the team's official site that the wide receiver's practice window wouldn't open Wednesday, the official move occurred one day later. Hollins will have two chances to mix into drills this week ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game at Denver, but more realistically New England may have given him the all clear to practice with Super Bowl LX in mind, assuming it wins this weekend.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Not ready to practice
Rotowire
Coach Mike Vrabel said that that the Patriots won't open Hollins' (abdomen) practice window Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
Hollins was placed on IR back on Dec. 27, but at this stage the wideout isn't ready to return to practice as the Patriots begin their preparation for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Broncos. For now, the team's available WRs are Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, Kyle Williams, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism. In 15 regular-season games prior to suffering an abdomen injury, Hollins caught 46 of his 65 targets for 550 yards and two TDs.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Lands on IR
Rotowire
The Patriots placed Hollins (abdomen) on injured reserve Saturday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
Hollins was already ruled out for Week 17 action, but the wideout's placement on IR now means that he won't play in the team's regular-season finale, and he wouldn't be eligible to return to action in the postseason unless the Patriots make a deep run. In Hollins' looming absence, rookie Kyle Williams figures to see added WR snaps going forward.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Logs another 'DNP' listing
Rotowire
Hollins (abdomen) was listed as not practicing on the Patriots' Thursday estimate.
Following back-to-back 'DNP' listings, what the wideout is able to do Friday will be pivotal with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Jets. The same goes for fellow WR Kayshon Boutte (concussion), who also has logged consecutive 'DNP' listings. If one or both players are out this weekend, Kyle Williams would likely see added snaps versus New York.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Estimated as DNP
Rotowire
Hollins (abdomen) was estimated as a non-participant at practice Thursday.
Hollins didn't practice Wednesday due to an abdomen issue, and had the team held an on-field session Thursday, he would've remained sidelined again. In order to have a chance at being cleared for Sunday's road matchup against the Jets, Hollins may need to resume practicing in at least a limited capacity Friday.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Misses practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Hollins (abdomen) didn't practice Wednesday.
Hollins led the Patriots' WRs with a 66 percent snap share in the team's Week 16 win over the Ravens, a game in which he recorded seven catches on nine targets for 69 yards. With a DNP to kick off the current practice week, Hollins -- who has been targeted a total of 17 times over his last two outings -- now has two more opportunities to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Week 17 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Kayshon Boutte, Demario Douglas, and TreVeyon Henderson are all hurt. As of Tuesday, we aren't expecting any of them to play. That should mean a condensed target tree for Drake Maye, and Mack Hollins has already been very involved. His 22.3% target share over the last month actually leads New England. Expect around seven targets for Hollins against a very good matchup. If he scores, he may be a top 24 receiver.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Week 17 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Hollins could be a go-to option for Drake Maye in Week 17 at the Jets if Kayshon Boutte (head) and Demario Douglas (hamstring) are out after both were injured in Week 16 at Baltimore. Boutte missed two games earlier this season in Week 10 at Tampa Bay and Week 11 against the Jets, and Hollins combined for 10 catches and 170 yards on 15 targets in those two outings. He also has 17 targets in his past two games against the Bills and Ravens, and combined for 11 catches and 110 yards over that span. If Boutte is out, then Hollins is worth starting in three-receiver leagues.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Strong PPR outing Sunday
Rotowire
Hollins had seven receptions on nine targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over Baltimore.
Hollins turned in a fine PPR performance on Sunday Night Football while tying his previous season high of seven receptions. The enigmatic wideout has carved out a solid role with the Patriots of late, averaging 50.8 receiving yards per game over his last 10 appearances. Hollins has recorded zero touchdown receptions over that span, effectively limiting his utility to deep and PPR fantasy leagues. The 31-year-old should continue offering managers in those formats a high floor in Week 17, when the Patriots visit the Jets.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Two catches versus Bengals
Rotowire
Hollins caught two of his six targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Bengals.
Hollins led New England's wide receivers in playing time Sunday, logging 61 of 71 snaps on offense per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. However, tight ends Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper recorded 10 catches on the afternoon while none of the Patriots' WRs had more than two catches. Looking ahead to next Monday's game against the Giants, game flow could lead to more production from Hollins, but Drake Maye's tendency to spread the ball around makes the wideout a speculative fantasy lineup option in Week 13.
Hollins secured four of five targets for 64 yards in the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday night.
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 once again had more opportunity 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.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Season-high yardage total in win
Rotowire
Hollins secured six of 10 targets for 106 yards in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
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.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Two catches in Week 9
Rotowire
Hollins caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over Atlanta.
Kayshon Boutte left Sunday's game early with a hamstring injury, resulting in Hollins leading Patriots WRs by playing 43 of 68 snaps on offense, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. However, his production predictably dipped after a seven-catch, 89-yard effort in a Week 8 win over the Browns. Drake Maye has been spreading the ball around, and six different players have led New England in receiving through nine games thus far. "It's fun being in this group when you don't know who is going to get [the ball]," Hollins said after Sunday's game, per Reiss. "Everybody is like, 'Oh, maybe it's me this week.' But I think that also makes it hard for defenses to go against us." Hollins remains a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option, but one with a little more upside if Boutte misses additional time.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Two catches Sunday
Rotowire
Hollins, who was on the field for 43 of 65 snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught both his targets for 49 yards.
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 option in deep formats while he's working behind Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte in the New England WR corps.

Rotowire
Hollins, who logged 35 of 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught two of three targets for 28 yards.
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 deep formats.
