Fantasy Tiers

Keenan Allen: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #45 at the position). Mack Hollins: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #99 at the position). Among the top 50 wide receivers this season, Keenan Allen is producing at 38% of elite pace and Mack Hollins at 27%. That ranking gap means Keenan Allen carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Keenan Allen vs Mack Hollins: The Full Breakdown

Deciding between Keenan Allen and Mack Hollins is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver put up 8.4 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Mack Hollins of the New England Patriots averaged 6.0 in 15. A 2.4-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 2.4 points favors Keenan Allen, 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. Keenan Allen saw 122 targets in 2025, while Mack Hollins drew 65. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Keenan Allen, even in weeks where Mack Hollins posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.

Keenan Allen has his bye in Week 7, 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.

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: Keenan Allen (age 34) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Mack Hollins (age 32) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining.
