Mack Hollins Out, Taylor Heinicke Questionable

12 months ago

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mack Hollins (ankle) has been ruled out for the Week 12 game against the New Orleans Saints, while quarterback Taylor Heinicke (hamstring) is listed as questionable. This will be the second straight missed game for Hollins despite having the bye to rest up in Week 11. In the 30-year-old's absence, Van Jefferson and KhaDarel Hodge are expected to serve as the No. 2 and 3 receivers behind Drake London yet again, but neither pass-catcher is a realistic starting option in fantasy lineups, even in deeper leagues. The Falcons are likely to utilize tight ends Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith more in the passing game. Heinicke started the previous two games for the Falcons but has been benched in favor of Desmond Ridder the rest of the year. If he cannot suit up on Sunday, Logan Woodside would be the backup to Ridder.
