Cooper Kupp vs Mack Hollins: The Full Breakdown

If you are choosing between Cooper Kupp and Mack Hollins for your lineup, you are not alone. Cooper Kupp finished the 2025 season at 10.8 PPG for the Los Angeles Rams (12 games), and Mack Hollins averaged 6.0 for the New England Patriots (15 games).

That 4.8-point weekly advantage for Cooper Kupp 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. Cooper Kupp saw 92 targets in 2025, while Mack Hollins drew 65. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Cooper Kupp, 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 scheduling note: Cooper Kupp is off Week 6 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

Cooper Kupp 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: Cooper Kupp (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.
