Latest Slidescroller coverage mentioning Mack Hollins across Football.
Analysts predict that New England’s star wideout, A.J. Brown, will outperform his fantasy football ADP in 2026, thanks to a deep‑ball skill set and a new quarterback’s downfield accuracy.
A.J. Brown enters the 2026 season with a clear target to outshine his fantasy football average draft position. Over the last three seasons he has averaged a 12.8‑yard depth of target, a metric that places him among the league’s most aggressive downfield threats. According to data from Pro Football Focus, Brown’s deep‑target profile pairs with Drake Maye’s 49.7% completion rate on passes of 13 yards or more, ranking fourth among rookie passers. The Patriots have bolstered their receiving corps with the addition of Romeo Doubs and retain a stable of playmakers that includes Kayshon Boutte, Demario Douglas, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams, creating a depth that forces defenses to spread their focus. With multiple weapons drawing attention, Brown is positioned to be the No. 1 option in the passing game, a scenario that historically yields higher yardage and touchdown totals for a receiver of his caliber.
