When New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton returned to voluntary organized team activities this week, fellow wideout Isaiah Hodgins appeared to be the odd man out. Slayton didn't miss a beat in his return to the field, either, catching a crossing route from quarterback Daniel Jones in a 7-on-7 period and also catching two passes from backup Drew Lock. Hodgins had a quiet practice on Thursday after being the leading first-team receiver last week. Slot receiver Wan'Dale Robinson continues to be moved around the field. After the Giants took LSU wideout Malik Nabers in the first round of this year's NFL draft, Hodgins' stock immediately took a hit. In addition to Robinson, Jalin Hyatt also figures to have a bigger role in the offense in 2024.
The New York Giants reached an agreement on Friday to re-sign wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins to an undisclosed deal. Hodgins will return to New York for his second full season. The former sixth-round pick by the Buffalo Bills in 2020 out of Oregon State joined the G-Men midway through the 2022 season and had 33 catches for 351 yards and four touchdowns in eight games (five starts) to close out the year. In 17 games (nine starts) for the Giants in 2023, Hodgins disappointed, as did most of the rest of the team's offense, with 21 catches on 33 targets for 230 yards and three touchdowns. The 25-year-old has shown flashes the last two years with the Giants, but he's not going to have a big enough role on offense in 2024 to warrant fantasy consideration, especially with the team adding Isaiah McKenzie this offseason.
New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins is not expected to be tendered as a restricted free agent and will hit the open market, according to a source. The 25-year-old wideout showed major promise upon initially joining the Giants midway through the 2022 season, when he had 351 receiving yards and four touchdowns in eight games played. Hodgins came back down to Earth in 2023, though, as he caught just 21 passes on 33 targets for 230 yards and three touchdowns in 17 games (nine starts) in New York's dysfunctional offense. He could return to the Giants on a lesser deal for the 2024 season, but wherever the former sixth-round pick of the Buffalo Bills in 2020 lands, he'll function as more of receiver depth than as an actual starter.
Isaiah Hodgins A Touchdown-Or-Bust Option For Week 15
New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins has logged a touchdown in two straight games, now capturing three on the season. Unfortunately, that's about all Hodgins does right now. New York opts to utilize his 6-foot-3 frame inside the 20s but he's earned just three targets total over the last two games. The possible return of tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) this weekend could also cut into the plays called for the 25-year-old in the red zone. Hodgins can remain on the waiver wire across all fantasy football formats.
New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins caught two passes for 22 yards and a touchdown in the team's upset victory over the Green Bay Packers. His score came late in the third quarter which pushed the New York lead to eight points. It's the second straight game in which Hodgins has scored, but that's about all he does right now. The Giants like to utilize him in the red zone but he doesn't command enough targets to stay relevant otherwise. Hodgins can remain on the waiver wire across all fantasy football formats.
Isaiah Hodgins Catches Lone Touchdown For New York In Week 12
New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins caught just one pass for 12 yards against New England, but he found the end zone on his lone reception. In fact, that was the veteran's only target on Sunday afternoon. Quarterback Tommy Devito completed 17 passes and Hodgins was one of six Giants to secure just one reception. Hodgins only has 15 catches on the season, although two have found paydirt. He does not need to be rostered in any fantasy football format for the remainder of the season.
Playing Time For Isaiah Hodgins Could Jump In Week 12
New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins is back in the wide receiver rotation and could see even more time on the field against New England due to a doubtful designation for starting wideout Darius Slayton (neck). Hodgins caught his first passes since Week 7 against Washington last week and therefore still remains far from being a worthy addition to any fantasy football roster. With undrafted rookie Tommy Devito under center, there aren't any trustworthy options in the New York passing game. Even if Hodgins does see the snaps vacated by Slayton, he's buried in the rankings for Week 12 and should remain on waiver wires.
New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins is being phased out of the offense. After playing at least 60% of the offensive snaps in Weeks 1-3, he played a season-low 23% of the snaps against Buffalo. As a result, he didn't log a single stat. It's his third straight game playing under 40% of the snaps. Hodgins has ten catches for 107 yards and one touchdown on the season. The 24-year-old has disappointed following his breakout stretch at the tail end of the 2022 season. There's no reason to roster Hodgins in any fantasy football format.
New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins may not get a ton of opportunities to show off against his former team, the Buffalo Bills, in Week 6. After playing at least 60% of the offensive snaps in Weeks 1-3, his time on the field dipped below 40% in Weeks 4 and 5. On the season, Hodgins has just ten catches for 107 yards and one touchdown. Wide receivers in New York haven't produced for fantasy football managers this year. Daniel Jones (neck) won't play on Sunday, so veteran Tyrod Taylor will be under center. It's best to leave Hodgins on the waiver wire in all formats.
New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins and the rest of the offense floundered in Monday's 24-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Hodgins had another quiet game to close out Week 4 with three catches on three targets for 24 yards. Quarterback Daniel Jones was sacked a staggering 11 times and didn't have much time to throw at all behind an injured and ineffective offensive line. Hodgins also played a season-low 37 percent of the offensive snaps, although he was at least able to show up in the box score this week after putting up a donut in last week's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. It's impossible to trust Hodgins as a starting lineup option in fantasy right now. Through the first four weeks, he's registered eight catches for 88 yards and one touchdown on 12 targets.
