Who Should I Start? Isaiah Hodgins or Denzel Mims

Saturday, December 13, 12:11 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins has played close to a full-time role since getting signed off the Steelers' practice squad a few weeks ago. Hodgins has played 76.6% of the offensive snaps while recording eight catches for 103 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in three games. The 27-year-old should continue to see steady playing time and targets behind Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton in a positive Week 15 matchup against the porous Washington Commanders defense. The Oregon State product earned six targets in each of his first two games, but had only one in their most recent game against the Patriots in Week 13 before the bye. Hodgins profiles as a deep-league flex option in a favorable matchup in Week 15.

Free-agent wide receiver Denzel Mims is working out for the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday, according to team reporter Todd Archer. The team is lacking wideout depth after Brandin Cooks (knee) landed on Injured Reserve with a knee injury, so the former second-round pick is aiming to join the roster or practice squad. Mims was selected by the New York Jets in 2020 and has spent time with four NFL organizations. He has totaled 42 receptions on 92 targets for 676 yards and no touchdowns in 30 career games (all with the Jets). He did not play in a game last season. Even if Mims signs with Dallas, it would be surprising if he earns a meaningful enough role to be anywhere near the fantasy football radar. For now, expect CeeDee Lamb, Jake Ferguson, and Jalen Tolbert to operate as Dak Prescott's No. 1, 2, and 3 options in the passing attack.
