Kayshon Boutte vs Mack Hollins: The Full Breakdown

Deciding between Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The New England Patriots wide receiver put up 7.7 PPG in 2025 over 14 games; Mack Hollins of the New England Patriots averaged 6.0 in 15. A 1.7-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 1.7 points favors Kayshon Boutte, 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.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Kayshon Boutte turned 46 targets into 551 yards and 6 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.

One scheduling note: Kayshon Boutte is off Week 11 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

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Kayshon Boutte (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset. Mack Hollins (age 32) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining.
