Texans An 'Ideal Landing Spot' For Free Agent WR Mack Hollins?

Houston signing Mack Hollins would add depth to receiving corps, and give the Texans another deep threat.

The Houston Texans have emerged as a possible landing spot for free-agent wide receiver Mack Hollins.

At least according to ESPN's Ideal Fantasy Football Spots for 2023, which indicate that Hollins would be a good fit in Houston.

Hollins emerged off the waiver wire as a surprise flex option in 2022, averaging more than nine fantasy points per game and recording seven double-digit efforts. Injuries allowed Hollins a more prominent role in the Raiders' offense, as the 29-year-old posted career highs in targets (94), catches (57) and yards (690).

With size (6-foot-4 and 221 pounds) and speed (90th percentile), Hollins could prosper as a complimentary deep threat to Nico Collins in Houston. The Texans' QB situation is, obviously, less than ideal, but Hollins -- who has played with a plethora of signal-callers -- is capable of converting on YOLO balls. Enough of those would keep him in the high-upside flex conversation.

In addition to his gaudy fantasy numbers, Hollins is also still young enough to continue developing in Houston.

He’s also got the size and talent to make an immediate impact on the team.

First and foremost, though, head coach DeMeco Ryans and the Texans need an find their quarterback of the future that could get Hollins the football.

Who that will be remains to be seen, but the Texans should have a name soon, as Houston brass has expressed an intent to draft a quarterback in the 2023 NFL Draft with the No. 2 pick.

And whoever that quarterback is, could very well be throwing the football to Hollins next September.
