Among the top 50 wide receivers this season, Amon-Ra St. Brown is producing at 71% of elite pace and Mack Hollins at 27%.

Amon-Ra St. Brown vs Mack Hollins: The Full Breakdown

Amon-Ra St. Brown and Mack Hollins are at different tiers heading into 2026. The Detroit Lions wide receiver averaged 15.6 PPG in 2025, a full 9.6 points per game ahead of Mack Hollins's 6.0 with the New England Patriots. That kind of gap doesn't close on matchup alone.

The per-game difference of 9.6 points favors Amon-Ra St. Brown, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.

Target volume is the story here. Amon-Ra St. Brown saw 172 targets in 2025, while Mack Hollins drew 65. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Amon-Ra St. Brown, even in weeks where Mack Hollins posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.

Amon-Ra St. Brown has his bye in Week 6, and Mack Hollins rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Amon-Ra St. Brown is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Mack Hollins is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Amon-Ra St. Brown (age 26) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value. Mack Hollins (age 32) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining.
