Makes critical catch Hollins secured two of four targets for 42 yards during Saturday's 26-25 win over the Raiders.

Impact Hollins' best catch of the day came in the form of a 34-yard grab down the left side of the field with just 19 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, a play which set the Dolphins up for a game-winning field goal. The 27-year-old could handle another expanded role on offense Week 17 if DeVante Parker (hamstring) remains sidelined.

A bonus for NFL fans in Week 16: 4 straight days of games

Now this is a week NFL fans can truly celebrate

Just one grab Week 15 Hollins caught one of two targets for eight yards during Sunday's 22-12 win over New England.

Impact Hollins played a season-high 96 percent of offensive snaps with both DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Jakeem Grant (hamstring) sidelined, but he was only able to translate his playing time into two looks from Tua Tagovailoa. If the Dolphins' top receivers can get healthy enough to suit up Week 16 against the Raiders, Hollins may find himself back in a reserve role.

Likely to get more work Sunday Hollins could be in line for an expanded role in Miami's passing attack Sunday against the Patriots with DeVante Parker (hamstring), Jakeem Grant (hamstring) and Mike Gesicki (shou...

Impact In addition to the three inactive pass catchers, the Dolphins remain without the services of another starting wideout in Preston Williams (foot), who's on injured reserve. Those absences leave rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with few options at his disposal, but Hollins and Lynn Bowden probably rank as the most intriguing for fantasy purposes. When Parker, Grant and Gesicki all exited with their respective injuries in the Dolphins' Week 14 loss to the Chiefs, it was Hollins (five receptions for 66 yards on nine targets, 48 percent offensive snap share) and Bowden (seven receptions for 82 yards on nine targets, 71 percent) who stepped up most prominently.

Steps up after teammates get hurt Hollins caught five of nine targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Hollins tied Lynn Bowden for the team lead in targets and finished second to Bowden in receiving yards, as Miami had to dig deep into its wide receiver depth chart after losing both DeVante Parker and Jakeem Grant to leg injuries. If Parker, Grant or tight end Mike Gesicki -- who left with a shoulder injury after scoring two touchdowns -- are unable to play against the Eagles in Week 15, Hollins and Bowden will likely continue to soak up most of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's passing attempts.

Impact Hollins played a minimal role in the offense before becoming embroiled in a sizable brawl near the sideline following Mike Thomas' premature hit on Jakeem Grant during a punt-return attempt. The fourth-year wideout has at least one reception in five consecutive games, but he's tallied no more than 19 yards in any of those contests.

Fourth straight game with a catch Hollins secured two of three targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jets.

Impact Hollins actually notched season-high marks in terms of catches, yards and targets versus New York, though his impact on offense was still ultimately minimal. He did so while handling the second most offensive snaps (66 percent) of any Dolphins receiver, behind DeVante Parker, perhaps because Jakeem Grant was still feeling the impact of his hamstring injury.

Minor impact on offense Collins caught his only target for one yard during Sunday's 29-21 win over the Chargers.

Impact Hollins also played 54 percent of snaps on special teams, an area where the Dolphins utilize his skillset more. In the wake of Preston Williams (foot) being placed on IR, Hollins has recorded a catch in back-to-back weeks.

Opportunity knocks Hollins could be an option to enter the starting lineup after fellow wideout Preston Williams (foot) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hollins made the most of his opportunity after Williams was forced out of last weekend's win over the Cardinals, turning his first target of the season into a touchdown. Jakeem Grant may be a likelier candidate to start across from DeVante Parker, though the Dolphins could also put a cap on his offensive reps in favor of keeping him fresh for return duties. Malcolm Perry and Lynn Bowden could also push Hollins for the No. 3 role as long as Williams is sidelined.

Scores on only target Hollins hauled in his only target for 11 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Hollins took the field in relief of Preston Williams (foot), who had to be carted off due to a sprain in the first half after scoring a touchdown of his own. He finished the game having played 28 percent of offensive snaps, less than both Jakeem Grant (48 percent) and Malcolm Perry (38 percent). If Williams can't return against the Chargers in Week 10, Hollins will have limited fantasy appeal in deep formats.
