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: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Hollins (abdomen) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Kayshon Boutte (concussion) also was ruled out. In the duo's looming absence, Stefon Diggs is in line to lead the Patriots' Week 17 WR corps, with DeMario Douglas (hamstring, questionable) -- if he's available -- and Kyle Williams in line to see added opportunities, while Efton Chism also is in the mix. Additionally, John Jiles, Brandon Smith and Jeremiah Webb are candidates to be elevated from New England's practice squad ahead of Sunday's contest.

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.

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.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Scores TD versus Panthers
Rotowire
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.
Hollins has scored in two of his last three games, but with an overall 7-42-2 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.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Four catches Sunday
Rotowire
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.
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.

Patriots' Mack Hollins: Back at practice
Rotowire
Hollins (undisclosed), who had been on the active/PUP list, is participating in practice Thursday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
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.

Bills' Mack Hollins: Three grabs against New England
Rotowire
Hollins caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Patriots.
Hollins played all but one of the Bills' 67 offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap percentage of the season. With Buffalo having clinched 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.

Bills' Mack Hollins: Scores touchdown against 49ers
Rotowire
Hollins caught his lone target for seven yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-10 win over the 49ers.
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.

Bills' Mack Hollins: Week 11 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The Bills are hurting at receiver with Amari Cooper (wrist) and Keon Coleman (wrist) banged up, and Dalton Kincaid (knee) is also hurt. That helped Hollins in Week 10 at Indianapolis when he had four catches for 86 yards on four targets. But he also had five catches for 30 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Week 9 against Miami, and Hollins could be a sneaky No. 3 receiver in Week 11 against the Chiefs. He's worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.
