Should You Start or Sit Hollins in Week 13?
After consecutive double-digit PPR performances (and three times in four games), Hollins fell flat on Sunday in the matchup of all matchups against the Bengals.
If fantasy football were easy, everyone would be good at it.
The day started just fine as Drake Maye’s first pass went to Hollins and picked up six yards. The problem was the next 59 minutes: one catch on five targets for 24 yards.
With 12.4-yard aDOT, a clear WR1 playing in front of him, running backs that can catch passes, and a tight end that shows up once every few weeks, asking Hollins to retain weekly value would be difficult if he played for a team that was constantly in a passing script.
The 10-2 Patriots are far from that, and with the final game of Week 13 opening as a 7.5-point spread, there’s not much optimism in the prediction markets that Maye is going to be forced into a high-volume game.
For me, he’s not much different than Darius Slayton in this same game: slightly more target-earning chops, but less volume and less role upside to chase. Neither is sniffing my top 40 this week, with every team in action, and with both on bye next week, you should feel free to cut ties should you need to open up a roster spot, even if it’s to stash a streaming defense you like for your playoff run.
