The Patriots are placing WR Mack Hollins on IR. That means he'll not only miss the last two weeks of the regular season, but at least the first two playoff games as well. Hollins had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets with an abdominal injury.

This move doesn't change anything for our Week 17 rankings, given that we already knew Hollins would miss the game. But it adds opportunity upside for remaining New England pass catchers in Week 18.
It also means you should avoid Hollins in playoff leagues. He's not a central enough figure to be a lock for meaningful duty if he returns from the injury at some point during the playoffs.
