BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR7
ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins, the WR93 in full-PPR scoring this season, has six catches for 73 yards and one touchdown so far. That's less than 20 yards per game. That does not support fantasy relevance. Even if lead receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) misses time, that doesn't give Hollins enough of a boost.
Injury news for the #Bills heading into MNF:
-Khalil Shakir, James Cook, Taron Johnson, Austin Johnson all limited in practice Saturday and will be questionable for the game
-Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins should be good to go, per Sean McDermott

The Bills will face the disciplined New York Jets defense, who boast one of the better secondaries in the league. It remains to be seen how they perform without their recently fired head coach Robert Saleh, but Buffalo's passing attack was lifeless last week without Shakir against a much worse pass defense.
In the Bills loss to the Texans, Josh Allen was 1/15 on passes 10+ yards down the field, per NFL Pro

Their current crop of receivers requires quarterback Josh Allen to play plenty of hero ball to make things happen. There aren't any great separators, especially on the outside, with former Bill Stefon Diggs' exit after last season.
Hollins has never been fantasy-relevant, and his offensive coordinator Joe Brady prefers to run as much of the offense through just Allen and running back James Cook as he can. Hollins is on waivers in nearly all leagues and should remain there.
