Mack Hollins vs Malik Nabers: Who Should You Start?
The numbers tell a clear story here. Malik Nabers put up 12.0 fantasy points per game for the New York Giants in 2025, while Mack Hollins managed 6.0 across 15 games with the New England Patriots. A 6.0-point weekly edge is substantial at the wide receiver position.
A 6.0-PPG gap gives Malik Nabers 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.
Target volume is the story here. Mack Hollins saw 65 targets in 2025, while Malik Nabers drew 35. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Mack Hollins, even in weeks where Malik Nabers posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Mack Hollins sits Week 14 while Malik Nabers is off Week 11. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
