Mack Hollins To See More Targets?
Date: July 15th | 2018

Jimmy Kempski of the PhillyVoice, suggests second-year wide receiver Mack Hollins could see a “modest increase in opportunities” this season. Despite the Eagles having an explosive offensive, they aren’t exactly loaded with pass catchers. Hollins is slotted as the 4th WR on the teams NFL Depth Charts.

The Eagles leading receiver Alshon Jeffery, was a non-participant in spring practices as he is still recovering from surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff suffered during 2017 training camp. Jeffery should be ready for the preseason, but there is an opportunity for Hollins, along other receivers to get an increase in opportunities this summer.

Fantasy Spin: Mack Hollins has more value in deep leagues or Dynasty Football, but he shouldn’t be ignored. If an injury did occur, Hollins would be launched into a starting role. Hollins is 24-years-old and did make a modest impact in his first season in the NFL. The 2017 4th-round pick from North Carolina had 16 catches for 226 yards and a touchdown across 282 offensive snaps in his rookie season. Hollins should improve on those numbers this season as he is more comfortable with the offense and quarterback(s) under center.
