Mack Hollins vs Tank DellWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Tank Dell is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 8.5 PPG to Mack Hollins's 6.0 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Tank Dell is the better fantasy play this season.

Tank Dell has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 2.5-PPG advantage is real (8.5 to 6.0), and Tank Dell's 4 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). Tank Dell: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #99 at the position). Among the top 50 wide receivers this season, Mack Hollins is producing at 27% of elite pace and Tank Dell at 39%. These two are close enough in the rankings that weekly matchup should dictate your start.

Mack Hollins vs Tank Dell: The Full Breakdown

Mack Hollins and Tank Dell 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 Tank Dell posted 8.5 PPG in 12 appearances for the Houston Texans.

A 2.5-PPG gap gives Tank Dell 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 Tank Dell converted 72 looks into 588 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. Tank Dell (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
