Mack Hollins vs Tee Higgins: Who Should You Start?
There is a real production gap between these two wide receivers. Tee Higgins (Cincinnati Bengals) averaged 12.1 PPG over 15 games in 2025, outscoring Mack Hollins (New England Patriots, 6.0 PPG) by 6.1 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
Tee Higgins carries a 6.1-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.
Target volume is the story here. Tee Higgins saw 98 targets in 2025, while Mack Hollins drew 65. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Tee Higgins, 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 scheduling note: Mack Hollins is off Week 14 and Tee Higgins Week 12. 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.
