BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 21% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: With Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller still out and in the Injured Reserve, the Las Vegas Raiders keep banking on their second-tier options weekly to stay afloat and navigate their schedule. One of the main beneficiaries has been Mack Hollins, who has now scored double-digit fantasy points in back-to-back weeks playing on the road.
Hollins scored 11.2 PPR points a week ago facing Denver and he improved on that tally with a 16.3-PPR outing at Seattle this past Sunday. That had mostly to do with scoring a touchdown, Hollins' third of the year, to which he added 63 receiving yards on 4 receptions (getting 5 targets).
It's now five weeks in a row for Hollins to see 4+ targets. That didn't happen in Week 7, but he made up for that by scoring a touchdown in that game against Houston. Over the season, Hollins has either gotten 4 targets and/or scored a touchdown in all of his games except in Week 1 (one target, one reception, 16 yards) and he's caught 2+ passes in all but two games (W1 and W5).
In the last two weeks, Hollins has put up a combined 10-14-115-1 receiving stat line. He was a top-34 WR in Week 11 and he's finished Week 12 into the top-24 players at the wideout position.
Hollins is not the steadiest fantasy player out there, nor one to fully trust on a weekly basis, and that hurts his upside. That said, he has done enough to solidify his role in the Raiders' offense and he's probably going to stay on an average of 5+ targets, 3+ receptions, and 40+ receiving yards on average ROS.
That's more than enough production to make Hollins your starting player at the WR3/Flex slots in deeper formats, and an ancillary Flex in shallower leagues.
