Mack Hollins vs Michael WilsonWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Michael Wilson is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 10.7 PPG to Mack Hollins's 6.0 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Michael Wilson is the better fantasy play this season.

Michael Wilson has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 4.7-PPG advantage is real (10.7 to 6.0), and Michael Wilson's 7 touchdowns show scoring upside. Mack Hollins is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

Fantasy Tiers

Mack Hollins: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #99 at the position). Michael Wilson: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR (ranked #24 at the position). Among the top 50 wide receivers this season, Mack Hollins is producing at 27% of elite pace and Michael Wilson at 49%. That ranking gap means Michael Wilson carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Mack Hollins vs Michael Wilson: The Full Breakdown

Mack Hollins and Michael Wilson 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 Michael Wilson posted 10.7 PPG in 17 appearances for the Arizona Cardinals.

A 4.7-PPG gap gives Michael Wilson 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. Michael Wilson saw 126 targets in 2025, while Mack Hollins drew 65. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Michael Wilson, 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 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

If you can acquire Michael Wilson at a discount because your league-mates undervalue wide receiver production, do it. Mack Hollins is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Mack Hollins (age 32) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Michael Wilson (age 26) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
