Fantasy Tiers

Mack Hollins: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #99 at the position). Marvin Harrison Jr.: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #39 at the position). Among the top 50 wide receivers this season, Mack Hollins is producing at 27% of elite pace and Marvin Harrison Jr. at 40%. That ranking gap means Marvin Harrison Jr. carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Mack Hollins vs Marvin Harrison Jr.: The Full Breakdown

Mack Hollins and Marvin Harrison Jr. are both viable fantasy wide receivers heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Mack Hollins averaged 6.0 PPG across 15 games with the New England Patriots, while Marvin Harrison Jr. posted 8.9 PPG in 12 appearances for the Arizona Cardinals.

A 2.9-PPG gap gives Marvin Harrison Jr. 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. Mack Hollins turned 65 targets into 550 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Marvin Harrison Jr. converted 73 looks into 608 yards and 4 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.

One thing to note: both players share a Week 14 bye. That means you need a backup plan at wide receiver for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.

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: Mack Hollins (age 32) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Marvin Harrison Jr. (age 23) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
