Hollins is slated to signed a two-year, $8.4 million contract with the Patriots, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Hollins thus will reunite with Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, under whom the wide receiver had a career-best campaign in 2022 in Las Vegas with a 57-690-4 line on 94 targets in 17 regular-season games. He combined for 49-629-5 on 80 targets in 30 contests between the Falcons (2023) and Bills (2024) over the last two years. In a receiving corps with all of DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte (head) and Kendrick Bourne under contract and more reinforcements possible this offseason, it's unclear what kind of role Hollins can expect in a Drake Maye-led offense.

Jarry was called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday. Jarry's last NHL appearance was Jan. 14 versus the Kraken, a game in which he gave up three goals on 17 shots in a fifth consecutive loss. In the minors, the 29-year-old netminder hasn't found significantly more success, going 6-5-1 with a 2.67 GAA and .908 save percentage. With youngster Joel Blomqvist struggling, the team decided to send him down to the minors while bringing Jarry back up in a corresponding move. The decision could also be an opportunity for Jarry to impress ahead of the March 7 trade deadline.
Hanifin logged two assists and five shots on goal in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Blackhawks. One of Hanifin's helpers came on the power play. The defenseman continues to be streaky, though February's been fairly kind to him -- he put up five assists over seven outings for the month. The 28-year-old is up to 26 points, 109 shots on net, 82 blocked shots, 34 hits and a minus-1 rating across 59 appearances. Hanifin could have the chance to sustain his momentum on offense while seeing more power-play time in the absence of Shea Theodore (arm).
Hollins caught three of four targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-29 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. Hollins was Buffalo's leading receiver in the season-ending loss. He caught a 34-yard touchdown pass in the final minute of the first half and set up Curtis Samuel's game-tying touchdown catch in the fourth quarter with a 32-yard reception down to the 4-yard line. Hollins surprisingly led the Bills with five touchdown catches in the regular season while playing on a one-year, $2.6 million contract, so Buffalo could have some interest in bringing the 31-year-old wide receiver back in free agency.
Hollins caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Patriots. Hollins played all but one of the Bills' 67 offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap percentage of the season. With Buffalo already clinching the No. 2 seed in the AFC, the Bills elected to rest many of their key players, opening the door to extended playing time for the veteran wideout. Despite seeing a major uptick in usage and leading all wide receivers in playing time, Hollins' minimal production was disappointing. Nonetheless, the 31-year-old will revert back to his depth role when Bills host the Broncos in the wild card round of the playoffs.
Hollins reeled in both of his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jets. Hollins saw two targets from quarterback Josh Allen against the Jets, his lowest target total since Week 13. The veteran played 38 of the Bills' 70 offensive snaps, behind Keon Coleman (63) and Khalil Shakir (43). Hollins could be in store for more playing time in Week 18, however, as the Bills have clinched the No. 2 seed for the playoffs and could choose to rest some of their starters in the season finale against the Patriots.
Hollins caught two of three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots. Hollins played 42 of the Bills' 59 offensive snaps Sunday, second only to Khalil Shakir (44). The veteran wideout is a part of a crowded wide receiver room in Buffalo, limiting his potential for high target shares. For that reason, Hollins continues to be nothing more than a dart throw for fantasy purposes. The 31-year-old will look to get more involved in Week 17 when the Bills host the Jets.
Hollins caught one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 48-42 win over the Lions. After scoring touchdowns in two straight games, Hollins was essentially a non-factor Sunday against the Lions. The wideout played 50 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps, but he was unable to do much with the three targets he saw come his way. In the four games rookie Keon Coleman missed with a wrist injury, the 31-year-old Hollins averaged roughly a 72 percent offensive snap share. With the return of Coleman to the lineup, the veteran's snap share took a hit, which will likely continue to be the case going forward. Hollins should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Patriots.
Hollins recorded four receptions on six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams. Hollins matched his season high with six targets and had one of his more productive performances. His primary contribution came on a 21-yard touchdown reception midway through the fourth quarter, though he also chipped in 16- and 12-yard receptions, both of which came on touchdown drives. Hollins has earned inconsistent targets in the Buffalo offense throughout the season, and that has remained the case even with Keon Coleman (wrist) and Dalton Kincaid (knee) sidelined.
