Can't-Miss Play: KhaDarel Hodge becomes tackle-breaking machine on 52-yard catch and run Atlanta Falcons wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge becomes tackle-breaking machine on 52-yard catch and run.
One catch in win Hodge caught his only target for 19 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Buccaneers.
Impact Hodge played the fewest offensive snaps (12) of any Falcons wideout, and his 19 yards in the contest matched his season high. The veteran has now totaled just five catches on six targets for 64 yards through seven games of the 2023 campaign. With limited opportunities in Atlanta's offense, Hodge should continue to remain off the fantasy radar when the Falcons visit the Titans in Week 8.

Falcons Free Agency: Re-Sign WR KhaDarel Hodge? What should the Atlanta Falcons do this offseason with impending free agent receiver and special teams ace KhaDarel Hodge?
JANUARY 23, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Career-high 202 yards in 2022 Hodge caught 13 of 20 targets for 202 yards and a touchdown across 17 appearances during the 2022 campaign.
Impact Hodge caught five of six targets for 95 yards over the first two games of the season, but he failed to provide consistent production the rest of the way. He was held without a catch 10 times across his next 15 appearances and caught just one pass over the final six games of the campaign, four of which came with Desmond Ridder at the helm. Nonetheless, Hodge still posted a career-high 202 receiving yards during the campaign and may have interest in re-signing with Atlanta in free agency this offseason, though the Falcons may elect to completely overhaul their wideout corps behind Drake London.

Minimal role in passing attack Hodge reeled in his lone target for five yards during Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Cardinals.
Impact Hodge played the fourth most snaps among Atlanta's wide receivers, but after securing a five-yard catch on the Falcons' opening offensive drive, the fifth-year wideout wasn't targeted again. The reception marked Hodge's first since Week 11, so it's safe to presume he won't offer much fantasy production during Sunday's regular-season finale against Tampa Bay. Across 16 appearances, Hodge has totaled 13 receptions on 20 targets for 202 yards and one touchdown.

Cleared for Week 15 Hodge was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Hodge missed Thursday's practice due to an illness, but he wasn't limited by the aliment Friday and is good to go for Sunday's divisional matchup versus New Orleans. The fifth-year wideout has appeared in all 13 of Atlanta's contests this season, totaling 12 receptions on 19 targets for 197 yards and one touchdown, but he hasn't recorded a catch since Week 11.

Zero receptions on two targets Hodge failed to catch either of his targets during Sunday's 19-16 loss against Pittsburgh.
Impact Hodge played just six offensive snaps and was targeted on two of them, but he failed to record a reception. The fifth-year wideout has 12 receptions for 197 yards and one touchdown this season, but he's been held without a catch in seven of his 13 appearances.
DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Limited role in win Hodge gathered in his only target for 13 yards during Sunday's 27-24 victory versus Chicago.
Impact Hodge secured a 13-yard reception on a second-and-nine play on the Falcons' first drive of the game, which ultimately ended in a Drake London touchdown. However, the fifth-year wideout wasn't targeted again the rest of the way, as Marcus Mariota only attempted 20 passes. Over his last three appearances, Hodge has caught four of five targets for 69 yards and a score, but he's played just 29 offensive snaps during that stretch.

Hits pay dirt in loss Hodge secured both of his targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 25-15 loss to the Panthers.
Impact Hodge's 25-yard touchdown grab came with just under three minutes left in the game, bringing the Falcons within one score of the Panthers. The wideout's touchdown was his first of the season, and he now has 11 catches for 184 yards over the first 10 games. As Atlanta's No. 4 receiver, Hodge played just eight of the team's 63 offensive snaps. His efficiency Thursday is not sustainable, so the veteran's limited opportunities make him extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. Hodge and the Falcons will host the Bears in Week 11.

Logs one reception in loss Hodge caught one of two targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 20-17 defeat versus the Chargers.
Impact Hodge has solidified himself as the No. 4 wideout behind Drake London, Olamide Zaccheaus and Damiere Byrd, but Atlanta's passing attack isn't prolific enough to have multiple fantasy-relevant pass catchers. Across nine appearances, the veteran wideout has caught nine of 14 targets for 147 yards, though all of his receiving yards have come in four games (Weeks 1, 2, 5 and 9).
NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Solid production in loss Hodge caught three of five targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 21-15 defeat against the Buccaneers. He also secured a two-point conversion.
Impact Hodge finished second on the team in targets and receptions and third on the team in receiving yards while playing fourth most snaps among Atlanta's wideouts. He also caught a two-point conversion late in the fourth quarter to cut Tampa Bay's lead to six. Hodge caught five of six targets for 95 yards across his first two appearances with the Falcons, but he was held without a catch on one target over the following two games. With Kyle Pitts (hamstring) sidelined, Hodge bounced back in Week 5 and could see another expanded role in Week 6 if Pitts remains out.

Two catches in loss Hodge caught two of three targets for 57 yards during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Rams.
Impact Hodge played just 12 offensive snaps, fourth among Atlanta's wideouts, but he finished second on the team in receiving yards behind rookie first-round pick Drake London, who caught eight of 12 targets for 86 yards and a score. Hodge has carved out a clear role in the Falcons' passing attack and has secured five of six targets for 95 yards across his first two games with Atlanta.

Making push for roster spot Hodge is a strong candidate to make the Falcons' initial 53-man roster, Scott Bair and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site report.
Impact Hodge was signed by the Falcons this offseason after catching 13 of 27 targets for 157 yards across 16 games for the Lions last season. Atlanta made numerous moves to address its wideout corps, so he was expected to have stiff competition for a roster spot. Regardless, he appears to be standing out, as Bair relays that Hodge frequently is working with the first team and has put together a solid training camp. Hodge played 10 snaps (eight offensive) during the first quarter of Atlanta's preseason opener, catching his only target for 12 yards, and hit the sidelines with the rest of the starters, another sign he's trending towards being a lock for the initial 53-man roster.
