Justin Jefferson vs Mack Hollins: Who Should You Start?
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings) finished the 2025 season averaging 9.4 fantasy points per game in 17 games. Mack Hollins (New England Patriots) came in at 6.0 PPG over 15 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Justin Jefferson carries a 3.4-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Target volume is the story here. Justin Jefferson saw 141 targets in 2025, while Mack Hollins drew 65. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Justin Jefferson, 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: Justin Jefferson 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.
