The pregame tunnels were filled with style in Week 11.
With both Keon Coleman and Amari Cooper inactive with wrist injuries, it seemed like Hollins was on the field for every snap. He also clearly has Josh Allen's trust since most of Hollins' catches either came on third down. His long 44-yard reception was also a great play where Hollins broke off a route when Josh Allen was flushed from the pocket. Hollins sprinted to the sideline and Allen hit him for a huge deep pass just before going out of bounds to set up a field goal at the end of the half. If Cooper and Coleman aren't able to play in Week 11, Hollins will be a central part of the Buffalo passing game again.
Cooper got in three limited practices this week, but he also has a hard cast on his wrist and wasn't able to catch any passes, so it always seemed like a longshot for him to play. With Keon Coleman also inactive, the Bills will have just Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, Mack Hollins, Jalen Virgil, and Tyrell Shavers at wide receiver. With only Kansas City next week before the Bills have their bye, it's possible we won't see Cooper next week either. The other Bills inactive are FB Reggie Gilliam, WR Keon Coleman, WR KJ Hamler, OL Will Clapp, and LB Edefuan Ulofoshio.
Bills WR Amari Cooper (wrist) is inactive for today s game vs. the Colts. With WR Keon Coleman out with his own wrist injury, Buffalo is down to WRs Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel, Jalen Virgil, and Tyrell Shavers. Shakir and TE Dalton Kincaid are the team s best target bets today.
Hollins also drew a pair of penalties that don't show up in the box score. Each of Hollins' receptions and yards were easily new season highs. Cool stuff for Hollins, but not great for the Bills in Amari Cooper's absence. They need more out of players like Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid. Even if Cooper remains sidelined for Week 10 against the Colts. Hollins, will be a zero-upside WR5.
