KHADAREL HODGE NEWS

Catches two passes in loss Hodge caught both of his targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Hodge caught multiple passes for a second time this season. However, outside of those two outings, he's been targeted in only one other game. He's played double-digit offensive snaps in four of the last eight games, but more often than not, he's left completely out of the Falcons' offensive game plan.

Catches one pass vs. Dallas Hodge caught one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 27-21 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Drake London (hip) left the game late in the first quarter and didn't return, thrusting Hodge into an expanded role. He played a season-high 45 offensive snaps, his previous high-water mark was 18, and was targeted for the first time since Week 5, when he had a game-winning touchdown in overtime versus Tampa Bay. London is considered day-to-day, but if he's forced to miss time, Hodge could sneak on fantasy radars, though Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud would be the Falcons' top wideouts.

No targets in blowout win Hodge didn't record a target during Sunday's 38-20 win over the Panthers.

Impact Hodge played a season-high 13 offensive snaps and caught a game-winning TD in overtime last week. However, aside from those heroics, he's been a non-factor, recording zero targets on 14 offensive snaps across five games.

Game-winning catch in OT Hodge caught both his targets for 67 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's 36-30 overtime win over Tampa Bay.

Impact Hodge played only 16 offensive snaps, the fewest among Atlanta's wideouts. However, he ended up playing hero after taking a check-down pass from Kirk Cousins the distance during the first drive of overtime. Hodge also had a 22-yard catch in the second quarter and was called for offensive pass interference in the red zone during the third quarter. Before Thursday's game, Hodge played primarily on special teams and hadn't recorded a target through four games.

Key special teamer Hodge made the Falcons' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Hodge is back for a third season in Atlanta, and his role isn't expected to change much. He played a career-high 358 offensive snaps in 2023 but had similar production to his first year with the Falcons when he put up a 13-202-1 line. Hodge moves down the WR pecking order after the additions of Ray-Ray McCloud and Darnell Mooney but will remain a key special-teams player for Atlanta in 2024.

One grab in Week 14 Hodge caught one of two targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 29-25 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Hodge's one catch was his first since Week 9, when he recorded three receptions for 60 yards in a loss to the Vikings. The 28-year-old wideout played 23 of Atlanta's 72 offensive snaps, behind both Drake London (55) and Van Jefferson (32). Hodge is not seeing enough consistent usage in the Falcon's offense to make him a reliable fantasy option. Heading into a Week 15 matchup with the Panthers, the veteran should remain far off the fantasy radar.

DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Catches three passes in loss Hodge caught three of six targets for 60 yards during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Vikings.

Impact With Drake London (groin) sidelined and Mack Hollins (ankle) leaving the contest early, Hodge played the most offensive snaps (46) among Atlanta's wideouts. He also paced the group in receiving yards, though tight end Jonnu Smith led the team in receptions and receiving yards. After a quiet start to the season (five receptions on six targets for 64 yards across the first seven games), Hodge has secured six of nine targets for 135 yards over the last two weeks. While that's not prolific production, Hodge has clearly seen an uptick in usage and production since London got hurt. As long as London and Hollins remain out, Hodge should be on fantasy radars.

Leads team in receiving Hodge caught all three of his targets for 75 yards during Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Titans.

Impact All three of Hodge's targets came in the second half with Taylor Heinicke at the helm. The wideout's first catch was good for a first down on a third-and-13, and his second was a 52-yard strike that set up Atlanta's first touchdown. Hodge caught just five of his six targets for 64 yards across seven games with Desmond Ridder at quarterback, but he appears to have better chemistry with the backup. If Drake London (groin) is sidelined moving forward and Heinicke takes over as the starter, Hodge could see an uptick in volume, but his fantasy value probably remains limited in Atlanta's stagnant offense.
