Fantasy Tiers

Mack Hollins: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #99 at the position). Tory Horton: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #46 at the position). Among the top 50 wide receivers this season, Mack Hollins is producing at 27% of elite pace and Tory Horton at 38%. That ranking gap means Tory Horton carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Mack Hollins vs Tory Horton: The Full Breakdown

Deciding between Mack Hollins and Tory Horton is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The New England Patriots wide receiver put up 6.0 PPG in 2025 over 15 games; Tory Horton of the Seattle Seahawks averaged 8.4 in 7. A 2.4-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 2.4 points favors Tory Horton, 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.

Target volume is the story here. Mack Hollins saw 65 targets in 2025, while Tory Horton drew 22. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Mack Hollins, even in weeks where Tory Horton 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 Tory Horton Week 11. 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

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. Tory Horton (age 23) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
