Garrett Wilson vs Mack Hollins: Who Should You Start?
Garrett Wilson and Mack Hollins are both viable fantasy wide receivers heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Garrett Wilson averaged 11.6 PPG across 7 games with the New York Jets, while Mack Hollins posted 6.0 PPG in 15 appearances for the New England Patriots.
A 5.6-PPG gap gives Garrett Wilson 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.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Garrett Wilson turned 59 targets into 395 yards and 4 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.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Garrett Wilson sits Week 12 while Mack Hollins is off Week 14. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
