The Patriots will be releasing WR Stefon Diggs when the new league year begins next week. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that the veteran WR is due $1.7 million in fully guaranteed money for the coming season, with another $6 million set to become guaranteed next week if he remained on the roster.

Patriots WR Mack Hollins (abdomen) has been activated from IR, putting him on track to play in Sunday's AFC Championship vs. the Broncos. Hollins had emerged as a big part of New England's offense before going down in Week 16, registering a 77% route rate and averaging 7.0 targets over his last six games. It's unclear how big a role Hollins will play coming off a one-month absence, but he was a full participant in Friday's practice.

The Patriots are placing WR Mack Hollins on IR. That means he'll not only miss the last two weeks of the regular season, but at least the first two playoff games as well. Hollins had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets with an abdominal injury.

Patriots WRs Kayshon Boutte (concussion) and Mack Hollins (abdomen) are out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. That strips the offense of two of its top three WRs in targets. And Demario Douglas, who’s fourth among New England WRs in targets, is questionable with a hamstring injury. That leaves Stefon Diggs and Kyle Williams as the top two healthy WRs. Diggs is much more likely to get a full helping of routes in this one, making him a safer fantasy bet. We’d try not to use Williams in season-long leagues, but he’s an intriguing flier in daily contests. TE Hunter Henry could also see more volume this weekend.

Patriots QB Drake Maye threw for a season-low 155 yards in Sunday’s loss to Buffalo. Maye failed to throw a TD pass for only the second time this season, although he delivered his third and fourth rushing TDs of 2025.

Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Jets. He was limited in practice on the short week, so we're tentatively expecting Boutte back for Week 12. WRs Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams saw the biggest bumps in routes and targets with Boutte out last Sunday.

Diggs only averaged 48.6% of snaps over the first three weeks but played 72.1% in Week 4. That led to a 6-101-0 stat line on seven targets. He was second on the team in snaps (31) behind only Kayshon Boutte (34). Diggs is now 11 months removed from his ACL Tear last season and showed signs of getting back to 100% in this game.

The Patriots' Week 1 loss to the Raiders found Kayshon Boutte leading the WR corps across the board. His eight targets tied TE Hunter Henry for the team lead. Boutte's 6 receptions tied two others for the team lead. His 103 receiving yards beat his nearest teammate by 37. And Boutte led the group in both total snaps (58 of 71) and routes (44 of 53). No other Patriot reached 40 routes for the game.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that Patriots WR Stefon Diggs has gained clearance for "full participation" at training camp. Diggs, of course, is working back from an October ACL tear. But New England checked out the knee before guaranteeing $25 million on Diggs' three-year deal in late March.

Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald doesn’t project Patriots WR Ja’Lynn Polk to make the final roster.

Bills WR Curtis Samuel (rib) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jets. Buffalo will continue to roll with a WR rotation of Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Amari Cooper, and Mack Hollins.

Bills QB Josh Allen posted a career-high 55.3 fantasy points in Sunday’s loss to the Rams. Allen accounted for six total TDs (three passing, three rushing).

Bills WR Keon Coleman did not play in the first quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Jaguars. HC Sean McDermott said afterward that "it was an issue with being on time."

Bills GM Brandon Beane suggested recently that WR Keon Coleman still has a lot of developing to do. Beane noted the big difference between college and NFL playbooks and that Coleman will need to learn to stay engaged on run plays.

Falcons WR Drake London (groin) practiced all week and is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. He can get back into fantasy lineups in the plus matchup. WR Mack Hollins (ankle) is out for Week 10.

Falcons WR Drake London (groin) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings. That leaves Atlanta with WRs Van Jefferson, KhaDarel Hodge, Mack Hollins, and Scotty Miller. Seriously. TEs Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith should draw more targets with London out. RBs Bijan Robinson and Cordarrelle Patterson could also play expanded roles in the passing game.

The Rams traded WR Van Jefferson and a 2025 seventh-round pick to the Falcons for a 2025 sixth-rounder, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jefferson played just two snaps for Los Angeles last week with WR Cooper Kupp back. He'll find opportunity for playing time in Atlanta, with Mack Hollins currently serving as the No. 2 WR. But, considering WR Drake London and TE Kyle Pitts have struggled to find enough volume, Jefferson is a long shot for fantasy relevance.

The Falcons signed WR Mack Hollins to a 1-year, $2.5 million deal. Hollins set career highs in Vegas last year with 57 catches and 690 yards -- but that was good for just a WR46 PPR finish. Hollins ranked just 82nd among 96 qualifiers in Pro Football Focus' receiving grades. He has a chance to find significant playing time in an Atlanta WR corps led by Drake London and not much else. But it's awfully late to be expecting a fantasy breakout from Hollins, especially in what figures to be a run-heavy Falcons offense.

Raiders QB Derek Carr threw for a modest 231 yards in Sunday's win over the Patriots but also tallied 3 TDs. He found WR Mack Hollins, TE Darren Waller and WR Keenan Cole for scores. Waller caught all 3 of his targets for 48 yards in his 1st game since Week 5. Hollins tied WR Davante Adams for the team lead with just 4 receptions. Adams (9) and Hollins (8) were the only 2 Raiders to draw more than 3 targets. Week 16 brings a matchup with Pittsburgh, which hit Sunday as a near-neutral scoring matchup for QBs.

Raiders WR Davante Adams delivered an 8-177-2 receiving line in Sunday's win over the Chargers. Those numbers accounted for 40% of Raiders targets, 50% of completions, 71% of the receiving yards and 67% of the offense's total TDs. WR Mack Hollins checked in as the 2nd-leading receiver with 5-35 on 9 targets. RB Josh Jacobs (2) and TE Foster Moreau (1) claimed QB Derek Carr's remaining 3 completions. The Raiders now visit the Rams on Thursday night.
