Fantasy Tiers

Mack Hollins: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #99 at the position). Rome Odunze: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) WR (ranked #28 at the position). Among the top 50 wide receivers this season, Mack Hollins is producing at 27% of elite pace and Rome Odunze at 47%. That ranking gap means Rome Odunze carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Mack Hollins vs Rome Odunze: The Full Breakdown

Deciding between Mack Hollins and Rome Odunze is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The New England Patriots wide receiver put up 6.0 PPG in 2025 over 15 games; Rome Odunze of the Chicago Bears averaged 10.3 in 12. A 4.3-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 4.3 points favors Rome Odunze, 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.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Mack Hollins turned 65 targets into 550 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Rome Odunze converted 90 looks into 661 yards and 6 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 Rome Odunze Week 10. 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

Rome Odunze is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Mack Hollins is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Mack Hollins (age 32) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Rome Odunze (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
