Who Should I Start? Isaiah Hodgins or Britain Covey

Tuesday, January 7, 9:45 PM

The San Francisco 49ers have signed wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins to a reserve/future deal. The former sixth-round pick spent the 2024 season with the New York Giants. He hauled in both his targets for 12 targets in his two appearances with the organization this season. Hodgins barely saw the field this season, but he did show flashes of potential during his 2023 campaign with the Giants. It's a low-risk move for the 49ers who might've found a decent depth option in the 26-year-old wideout. He'll get a chance to win a spot on the roster during training camp.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Britain Covey caught four of six targets for 32 yards during Saturday's preseason finale against the Cleveland Browns. The 28-year-old ultimately contributed in all three preseason games, but Week 3 was his best outing. He finishes this summer with nine catches, 76 yards, zero touchdowns, and a pair of punt returns. He's certainly on the roster bubble as Week 1 approaches, as the Rams already have wide receiver depth and would plug in Xavier Smith as their primary punt returner if he makes the team. If Covey is cut loose, he'd likely generate interest for a practice squad or roster spot elsewhere.
