ANALYSIS: One more week ahead, one more week in the Injured Reserve for TE Darren Waller and WR Hunter Renfrow. Don't get me wrong, Mack Hollins has done enough at different times to at least throw a dart his way, but the absence of the two main weapons of the Raiders offense is definitely going to help him get some volume going forward until they return.

Hollins had disappointing games in weeks 9 and 10 even with one/both of those two skill-position players out, mind you. He saw four targets in W9 catching two of them for 17 yards and he did virtually the same one week later (2-of-6, 18 yards) with the offense all for himself. This past Sunday, though, he finally broke for double-digit fantasy points.

Mack Hollins caught six passes while getting nine targets last Sunday at Denver. He put up 52 receiving yards, his fourth-most in a single game this season and the first time over 18 since Week 7 (64 yards on a 7-of-8 pass-catching performance).

Hollins has been on the field for 85% of all Las Vegas snaps this season with or without any other player present on the gridiron. He's a staple of the offense and a weekly fixture, but the targets have been bouncy and the results even more. That said, Hollins has gotten at least four targets in each of his last four games and 6+ in the past two.

Don't treat Hollins as a must-add, priority-WW-target player, but consider him a viable fantasy player with a low floor and a moderate ceiling going forward. He'd need to score at least one TD to come close to WR1 PPR points any week and most probably he won't get there even in that scenario, but Hollins could be a good WR3/Flex option in deeper formats.
