Fantasy Tiers

Chris Godwin Jr.: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #54 at the position). Mack Hollins: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #99 at the position).

Chris Godwin Jr. vs Mack Hollins: The Full Breakdown

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Chris Godwin Jr. finished the 2025 season at 7.4 PPG over 9 games with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while Mack Hollins clocked in at 6.0 across 15 appearances for the New England Patriots. A 1.4-point gap means any given week could go either way.

With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Chris Godwin Jr. turned 51 targets into 360 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Mack Hollins converted 65 looks into 550 yards and 2 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.

One scheduling note: Chris Godwin Jr. is off Week 10 and Mack Hollins Week 14. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Chris Godwin Jr. (age 30) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Mack Hollins (age 32) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining.
