Fantasy Tiers

Mack Hollins: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #99 at the position). Tyler Lockett: 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 Tyler Lockett at 31%. These two are close enough in the rankings that weekly matchup should dictate your start.

Mack Hollins vs Tyler Lockett: The Full Breakdown

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Mack Hollins finished the 2025 season at 6.0 PPG over 15 games with the New England Patriots, while Tyler Lockett clocked in at 6.9 across 15 appearances for the Seattle Seahawks. A 0.9-point gap means any given week could go either way.

With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Mack Hollins turned 65 targets into 550 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Tyler Lockett converted 72 looks into 548 yards and 2 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 Tyler Lockett 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

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. Tyler Lockett (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
