Who Should I Start? Gunner Olszewski or Isaiah Hodgins

The Pittsburgh Steelers released wide receiver Gunner Olszewski on Friday, according to a source. Olszewski is a productive special-teams player mostly, and now he's free to sign with any team. The 26-year-old is well off the fantasy radar while not really being a factor at all on offense. In just two games with the Steelers this year, Olszewski had one punt return for eight yards and two kickoff returns for 24 yards. He also caught his only target for no gain. Olszewski will likely latch on with another team as a punt and kick-return option, but he can be ignored in fantasy.

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.
