Hollins failed to see a single target in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Seahawks.
Hollins was held without a catch for the second-straight week and third time this season. The veteran wideout played 35 of the Bills 76 offensive snaps, behind Keon Coleman (63), Khalil Shakir (44) and Amari Cooper (38). With Cooper's arrival, Hollins will likely continue to see his number called less and less, as the former should command a significant amount of targets once he is fully acclimated. The 31-year-old Hollins should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Dolphins.

Bills' Mack Hollins: Cleared to play Week 8
Rotowire
Hollins (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Hollins upgraded to full practice participation Friday to avoid an injury designation after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. He'll look to bounce back from a zero-catch Week 7 performance as a depth option in a Bills receiving corps that will be without Curtis Samuel (pectoral).

Bills' Mack Hollins: Held catchless in Week 7
Rotowire
Hollins failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans.
Hollins was held without a catch for just the second time all season, yet the veteran wideout led all Buffalo wide receivers in offensive snaps (41). The arrival of new acquisition Amari Cooper, who saw five targets while playing just 19 snaps, certainly contributed to Hollins' decreased usage in the passing game. Going forward, Hollins will likely continue to see his role decrease as the Buffalo's No. 4 wideout. The 31-year-old will be hard to trust for fantasy purposes when the Bills visit the Seahawks in Week 8.

Bills' Mack Hollins: Cleared to face Titans
Rotowire
Hollins (shoulder) doesn't have an injry designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Hollins upgraded to full practice participation Friday following a pair of limited sessions, so he'll be available for Sunday's home game . Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman will likely continue to slot in ahead of Hollins in the pass-catching pecking order among Buffalo's wide receivers, but it remains to be seen if Amari Cooper will make his Bills debut Sunday after being acquired from the Browns in a trade Tuesday.

Bills' Mack Hollins: Limited to begin Week 7 prep
Rotowire
Hollins (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.
Hollins played through the same injury Monday against the Jets, catching one of two targets for an eight-yard touchdown in a 23-20 win. Healthy or not, Hollins is likely looking at a reduction in playing time after the Bills traded for wideout Amari Cooper on Tuesday.

Bills' Mack Hollins: Limited in Friday's walkthrough
Rotowire
Hollins (shoulder) remained limited at practice Friday.
The Bills held a walkthrough Friday, so there were no changes in participation status from Thursday's practice. Hollins and Curtis Samuel (toe) have both been limited while Khalil Shakir (ankle) has yet to practice after sitting out the Week 5 loss to the Texans. Buffalo will practice again Saturday before publishing its final injury report for Monday's game against the Jets.

Hollins (shoulder) was limited at practice Thursday.
Meanwhile, Khalil Shakir (ankle) didn't practice, while Curtis Samuel (toe) was limited Thursday, signaling that the trio's status will need to be monitored ahead of Monday night's game against the Jets.

Bills' Mack Hollins: Another six-target game
Rotowire
Hollins caught two of six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans.
Hollins played a larger role in the absence of Khalil Shakir (ankle) and tied Dalton Kincaid for the team lead in targets. The increased attention from Josh Allen didn't translate to meaningful fantasy production for Hollins, and he'll be tough to trust in Week 6 against the stout Jets secondary, even if Shakir remains sidelined.

Bills' Mack Hollins: Targeted six times
Rotowire
Hollins caught one of six targets for five yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens.
Despite seeing a season-high six targets in the contest, Hollins struggled to connect with quarterback Josh Allen and was unable to produce much for fantasy purposes. The eighth-year wideout played 36 of the Bills' 59 offensive snaps Sunday, the second-most of any Buffalo receiver. Hollins' minimal involvement in Buffalo's offensive scheme make him a difficult bet for fantasy purposes. The 31-year-old will look to get more involved in Week 5 when the Bills visit the Texans.

Bills' Mack Hollins: One grab in win
Rotowire
Hollins secured one of his two targets for 16 yards in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars.
Hollins continued to see limited opportunities Monday, as the veteran wideout has now caught just three passes on five targets for 41 yards through three games. The 31-year-old has not been a priority option in the passing game despite playing at least 60 percent of the offensive snaps in every contest, as the Bills seem to value him mainly as a blocker and downfield decoy that diverts attention from other pass catchers.

Bills' Mack Hollins: Hits pay dirt against Cardinals
Rotowire
Hollins caught both of his targets 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.
Hollins' touchdown was an 11-yard catch from quarterback Josh Allen to help tie the game at 17 early in the third quarter. The veteran wideout played the second-most offensive snaps (36) behind just Keon Coleman (45) and ahead of Khalil Shakir (33), Curtis Samuel (17) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (13). After one game, it appears that Hollins could step into a more prominent role in Buffalo's new-look passing attack, however, he could see inconsistent usage with so many mouths to feed in the offense. The 30-year-old's two targets trailed both Coleman and Shakir, who saw five and three targets, respectively. Hollins' will hope to stay involved in Week 2 when the Bills visit the Dolphins in a Week 2 divisional showdown.

Bills' Mack Hollins: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Hollins (leg) will practice Monday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Hollins missed Saturday's preseason contest against the Bears due to a lingering leg injury, but he's now ready to retake the practice field. The veteran journeyman is competing for the No. 4 wide receiver gig behind Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel, so it would help Hollins' case if he's able to suit up and put forth a good showing during Saturday's upcoming road exhibition matchup at Pittsburgh.

Bills' Mack Hollins: Misses practice with leg injury
Rotowire
Hollins (leg) is not practicing Thursday, NFL.com reports.
The severity of Hollins' injury remains undisclosed, but it could well impact his availability for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Bears. Coach Sean McDermott has stated that Josh Allen and the starting offense will get some action Saturday, so sitting out would be a notable opportunity missed for Hollins. The big-bodied journeyman is competing with Marquez Valdes-Scantling, KJ Hamler and Chase Claypool (toe) for a depth role in Buffalo's wide receiver room.

Bills' Mack Hollins: Joining Buffalo
Rotowire
Hollins agreed to a contract with the Bills on Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Hollins enjoyed a mini-breakout for the Raiders in 2022 with 690 receiving yards -- more than tripling his previous season high -- but then dropped to 251 yards in 13 games with the Falcons in 2023. Though he's valued for his blocking and special teams contributions as much as his receiving ability, Hollins could take some of the snaps and targets that previously went to Gabe Davis, who is leaving Buffalo to sign with Jacksonville. In any case, it's almost a certainty the Bills will be targeting a wide receiver with an early pick in April's draft.

Falcons' Mack Hollins: Ends 2023 poorly
Rotowire
Hollins finished 2023 with 18 receptions on 30 targets for 251 yards across 13 appearances.
After a breakout 2022 with the Raiders (57 receptions for 690 yards and four touchdowns -- all career highs), Hollins landed a one-year deal with Atlanta last offseason and was expected to be the No. 2 option behind Drake London. Over his first nine appearances of 2023, Hollins caught 17 of 29 targets for 247 yards, but his playing time started to dwindle before he missed four out of five games between Weeks 10 and 15 due to an ankle injury. He made one appearance during that stretch, catching his lone target for four yards. Hollins played 45 snaps over the final three weeks but didn't generate a single target. Hollins is one of numerous wideouts set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so the Falcons, who'll have a new head coach after Arthur Smith was fired immediately after the blowout Week 18 loss to New Orleans, may opt to completely revamp their pass-catching corps again in 2024.

Falcons' Mack Hollins: Back in action against Tampa Bay
Rotowire
Hollins has returned to Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Buccaneers after departing earlier due to an ankle injury, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Hollins has been battling an ankle issue since early November and missed three games due to the injury. He departed in the first quarter of Sunday's contest and was initially labeled as questionable to return but has since reentered the game. Hollins hasn't exceeded three catches in any game this season, making him a fantasy option only in very deep leagues.

Hollins (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
The wide receiver was questionable with the same injury going into the day. Hollins did not record a catch before exiting. The veteran has 17 catches for 247 yards and no touchdowns in 2023.

Falcons' Mack Hollins: Will play Sunday
Rotowire
Hollins (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
As expected, Hollins has been cleared to suit up for the first time since Week 9. However, his role remains a mystery. Hollins opened the season as the No. 2 wideout behind Drake London, but his role was decreasing before his multi-week absence. With Hollins sidelined, Van Jefferson, KhaDarel Hodge and Scott Miller were splitting snaps, but they were unable to deliver consistent production. Hollins should see the field in Week 14, but he'll likely need to find the end zone to submit a quality fantasy performance.

Falcons' Mack Hollins: Technically questionable, should play
Rotowire
Hollins (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, despite being a full practice participant Wednesday through Friday.
Hollins is on track to play for the first time since Week 9, though he may not take a lot of snaps and probably won't see many targets even if he does. The Falcons have rotated wide receivers behind Drake London in recent weeks, with Van Jefferson typically getting the most snaps but having minimal impact on the box scores.

Falcons' Mack Hollins: Inactive again
Rotowire
Hollins (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Hollins logged two limited sessions during Week 13 prep - one more than last week - but will remain sidelined for a third straight game. He hasn't played since Week 9 against the Vikings, when he caught three passes for 36 yards, but even when he's cleared to return, Hollins won't hold much fantasy value as the third- or fourth pass-catching option in one of the worst passing offenses in the NFL.
