Chris Olave vs Mack Hollins: Who Should You Start?
Chris Olave and Mack Hollins are at different tiers heading into 2026. The New Orleans Saints wide receiver averaged 13.7 PPG in 2025, a full 7.7 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.
That 7.7-point weekly advantage for Chris Olave is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Target volume is the story here. Chris Olave saw 156 targets in 2025, while Mack Hollins drew 65. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Chris Olave, even in weeks where Mack Hollins posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Chris Olave has his bye in Week 12, 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.
