Fantasy Tiers

CeeDee Lamb: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) WR (ranked #11 at the position). Mack Hollins: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #99 at the position). Among the top 50 wide receivers this season, CeeDee Lamb is producing at 57% of elite pace and Mack Hollins at 27%. That ranking gap means CeeDee Lamb carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

CeeDee Lamb vs Mack Hollins: The Full Breakdown

The numbers tell a clear story here. CeeDee Lamb put up 12.6 fantasy points per game for the Dallas Cowboys in 2025, while Mack Hollins managed 6.0 across 15 games with the New England Patriots. A 6.6-point weekly edge is substantial at the wide receiver position.

A 6.6-PPG gap gives CeeDee Lamb the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Target volume is the story here. CeeDee Lamb saw 117 targets in 2025, while Mack Hollins drew 65. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for CeeDee Lamb, even in weeks where Mack Hollins posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.

One thing to note: both players share a Week 14 bye. That means you need a backup plan at wide receiver for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire CeeDee Lamb at a discount because your league-mates undervalue wide receiver production, do it. Mack Hollins is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: CeeDee Lamb (age 27) 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.
