DraftCall Analytics

Start Quentin Johnston over Mack Hollins in 2026.

Quentin Johnston averaged 11.2 PPG in 2025 to Mack Hollins's 6.0, a 5.2 point per game edge. Both play wide receivers, so that per-game gap is the cleanest tiebreaker for a 2026 start or sit.

The Bottom Line

Quentin Johnston is clearly the better fantasy option heading into 2026. With 11.2 PPG and 742 total yards in 2025, the production separation is too wide to overcome on matchup alone. Mack Hollins (6.0 PPG) is a hold, not a sell, but roster Quentin Johnston as the starter and Mack Hollins as depth.

High confidence: stats strongly favor the leader, and the gap is unlikely to close on matchup alone.

Mack Hollins: Unranked WR. Quentin Johnston: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR (ranked #18 at the position).

Mack Hollins vs Quentin Johnston: The Full Breakdown

Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Mack Hollins (New England Patriots) finished the 2025 season averaging 6.0 fantasy points per game in 15 games. Quentin Johnston (Los Angeles Chargers) came in at 11.2 PPG over 13 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Quentin Johnston carries a 5.2-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Mack Hollins turned 65 targets into 550 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Quentin Johnston converted 84 looks into 735 yards and 8 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.

One scheduling note: Mack Hollins is off Week 14 and Quentin Johnston Week 7. 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

If you can acquire Quentin Johnston 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. Quentin Johnston (age 25) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
