DeVonta Smith vs Mack Hollins: The Full Breakdown
Deciding between DeVonta Smith and Mack Hollins is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver put up 9.6 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Mack Hollins of the New England Patriots averaged 6.0 in 15. A 3.6-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 3.6 points favors DeVonta Smith, 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. DeVonta Smith saw 113 targets in 2025, while Mack Hollins drew 65. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for DeVonta Smith, even in weeks where Mack Hollins posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
DeVonta Smith has his bye in Week 10, 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.
